Abstract
Francis Buckley and the discovery and excavation of a Beaker occupation site on Ross Links, Bamburgh, Northumberland, 1924
John A Gilks
1 - 7
Two sites at Ross links produced evidence for occupation during the second millennium BC. The smaller of the two sites had produced many sherds of Beaker material and Buckley interpreted this as an `urn factory'; however, it is thought more likely that the sites were geared towards the exploitation of coastal resources. Neither can now be seen and many of the original pieces are lost.
Three earthwork sites in Weardale
Robert Young
9 - 17
Notes on High Northgate, Old Park Farm/Dun Hill/Rose Hill Farm, and Jolly Body Farm (Stanhope) earthworks. The first two are thought to be prehistoric, the latter medieval. The good state of preservation is unusual for the area.
The archaeology of early medieval manuscripts: Durham Cathedral library MS.A.II.16, an eighth-century Northumbrian gospel book
J E Story
19 - 26
A consideration of the archaeological/historical information that may be gleaned from the physical attributes of historical sources. Using the example named in the title, the merging of Irish and Italian traditions that created the particular character of early Anglo-Saxon Christianity can be seen. Three scripts are present in four different hands, which show the increasing need at this time to cater to an expanding market, both insular and international. Parchment analysis reveals obvious differences in colour, relative thickness, flexibility and translucency which correspond with the different scribes involved. The nature of the parchment types and the ways in which they were made are informative about the monastic economy. This example is seen as atypical of extant Insular type manuscripts in that it was produced less as a de-luxe volume and more as something for everyday use whose preservation over time would thus be unlikely.
The City of Durham: an archaeological survey
Pamela Lowther
L Ebbatson
Margaret Ellison
Martin Millett
27 - 119
The Durham City Survey was undertaken as part of a general national trend towards assessing the extent of archaeological remains in advance of potential development. The results of previous archaeological excavation/observation, engineering boreholes, standing buildings survey, and documentary evaluation were synthesised. The `Introduction' by David Stocker (28-30) precedes the first section, which appraises the evidence with a `Gazetteer' of sites. The second section appraises the archaeological material including flint, and `Evidence for Bronze Age woodland from Durham' by Marijke van der Veen (73-5). Roman material includes `The coins' by P J Casey (77), `The quern' by Adam Gwilt (77) and details of pottery. This theme continues with medieval and post-medieval pot being the next section, including `Clay tobacco pipes from Durham City: a brief summary' by L J Edwards (98-100), with `An evaluation of the glass' by Margaret Ellison (104-5) completing the section. The third section involves a collation of the evidence to outline the development of the city from prehistory to present day.
