Abstract
Managing for effective archaeological conservation: the example of Salisbury Plain Military Training Area, England
Roy A Canham
Christopher Chippindale
53 - 65
Following expressions of concern about archaeological damage within the 91 000 acre training area, a survey was compiled of the sites and their condition. An eight-part strategic solution was offered, including the identification of specially important sites and groups. Close cooperation between the military and the archaeologists will be essential. The area is discussed in the context of English national archaeological policy and of a scoring system to allow rational choice of monuments needing special protection.
Soil phosphate, site boundaries, and change point analysis
W G Cavanagh
Susan M Hirst
C D Litton
67 - 83
(Data from Greece) Because of a clear distinction detectable between 'on-site' and 'background' phosphate concentrations, the statistical technique of change point analysis was adopted to define site boundaries more clearly. Au (abr) See also 89/188.
On the computerization of archaeological projects
Harold L Dibble
Shannon J Patrick McPherron
431 - 440
Discusses some issues involved in designing a total system for fieldwork at La Quina (Charente) and Combe-Capelle (Dordogne): data capture, artefact provenancing, lab data, artefact photography, data validation, data storage and integration, and graphic display for analysis (plans, section drawings). The program is menu- and mouse-driven. Hardware cost $30 000 but because of time saved it should pay for itself in 2-3 seasons. Software is mostly of industry standard.
Bone consumption by pigs in a contemporary Serbian village: implications for the interpretation of prehistoric faunal assemblages
Haskel J Greenfield
473 - 479
Bones of cattle, pigs, and sheep fed to domestic pigs were consumed to the extent of 90% of the sheep and pig bones but less than 10% of the cattle bones. Pigs must therefore be considered alongside dogs as important taphonomic agents.
Archaeological applications of the Electra-level
Steven R Pendery
479 - 480
Describes a levelling device which works on the same principle as the water-level but needs only one operator, as an electronic horn signals when the level is reached. It costs about US$30 and is portable and easy to use.
