Abstract
Complexities of cultural evidence in the Lower and Middle Pleistocene
John A J Gowlett
14 - 17
Argues that the cultural evidence of the Lower and Middle Pleistocene must be considered as an aspect of biological evolution, and that much can be learned about the behaviour and cognitive ability of early hominids from a study of the archaeological record. Reference is made to the Lower Palaeo of E Africa. C B
Re-evaluation of possible historical relationship between magnetic intensity and climate
Rob Sternberg
Paul E Damon
36 - 38
Presents evidence that there is no world-wide valid inverse relationship between geomagnetic intensity and climate for the period covered by observatory records; this may affect hypotheses based on palaeomagnetic and palaeoclimatic data.
Climatic signals in tree-ring chronologies for British oaks
G C Varley
282 - 283
Two weaknesses are seen in the claim of Hughes et al that climate records can be 'read' from British oaks: the tree-ring data relate to dating by dendrochronology and are unsuitable for dendroclimatology; and the possible damage to growth resulting from caterpillar depredations has been ignored. An alternative experimental approach is mentioned. In reply, Hughes et al refute these suggestions.
Radiocarbon measurements on submerged forest floating chronologies
J A Campbell
M S Baxter
409 - 413
Radiocarbon age determinations are reported on sequential growth increments from three 'floating' chronologies obtained from wood of the submerged forests of the W coast of England and Wales. A sampling frequency of c10 samples per century was used. Fluctuations in atmospheric 14C levels of 2-3% over several decades can occur, these variations being superimposed on a smoothly changing trend. Au
Physics in archaeology
Robert E M Hedges
691 - 692
Brief report of the 19th International Symposium on Archaeometry and Archaeological Prospection (London, March 1979) singles out for mention some of the papers on physical methods of dating, on attributing materials to provenance, on non-destructive chemical analysis, and on metallography.
