Abstract
Class consents revised
6 - 7
Announces a tightening-up of the `class consent' orders for England and Wales which allow certain agricultural activity to continue on scheduled ancient monuments.
Abolishing the Indo-Europeans
6 - 7
Outlines a new model put forward by John Robb which explains the spread of Indo-European languages across the continent as a socio-cultural process rather than a phenomenon of mass migration (see also 95/368). Comments on the model from Andrew Sherrat and Colin Renfrew are reported.
Tree rings date `oldest cottage'
Highlights the findings of a dating survey of medieval peasant houses in the Midlands. An almost unaltered cruck cottage at Mapledurham (Oxfordshire) has been dated to 1335. Many other cruck houses were confirmed to date from the period between the 1330s to the early-sixteenth century. An aisled hall dating from 1205 was also found incorporated into a farmhouse at Long Crendon (Buckinghamshire).
Rise and fall of Welsh power at Dryslwyn
Reports on excavations at the castle which was besieged by Edward I following a revolt in 1287. Four phases of thirteenth-century stone defences were identified, along with a possible rampart protecting the town. Evidence of diet was recovered from a kitchen refuse dump, and items of weaponry were found, including limestone stone siege-balls.
Excavation will reveal heart of old London
Reports that developers holding pre-PPG 16 planning permission have agreed to fund archaeological investigations on the Mappin & Webb site at 1 Poultry in the City. The likely discoveries are anticipated. See also 95/49.
Law against ritual
Martin Millett
Suggests that archaeologists are unwilling to interpret hoards as ritual deposits because this might prejudice their declaration as Treasure Trove. At present in England and Wales the law requires that gold and silver objects were buried with an intention to retrieve them by the original owner. It is also argued that the British Museum's near monopoly of items declared Treasure Trove means that scholarly debate on precious metal hoards is restricted. The article then presents some ideas on the possible significance of votive offerings and religious motivation in hoard deposition during the Roman period. Items from the Hoxne treasure are illustrated.
Roads that lead back in time
Brian Paul Hindle
A summary account of the development of Britain's highways from prehistory to the nineteenth century.
