Abstract
A La Tène III burial at Welwyn Garden City
Ian M Stead
1 - 62
TL 254131. A cremation burial discovered during pipelaying was in a rectangular grave-pit well furnished with amphorae, many pots in grey and buff native wares with a few imported pieces, a silver two-handled cup of Mediterranean origin, and bronze vessels. A set of glass gaming pieces suggests a kind of ludo for four players. Metal fittings, a triangular knife-blade and fragments of straw matting were also found, and domed studs marked the line of a ?partition between cremation and grave-goods. Bear-phalanges suggested the former existence of a bearskin (see 68/198). The term Welwyn-type burials is put forward in preference to the misnomer "vault burials" for the eight British La Tène III cremations in large rectangular graves without covering mounds, containing a quantity of pottery and (usually) imported glass or metal vessels. In date they run from c 50 BC to c AD 50, with two main phases following Werner's classification for Continental examples. Near this grave were six cremations in pots without other grave-goods.

Fresh consideration of the archaeological evidence throws new light on the Frankish introduction and development of the sword-ring and bead in England. The earliest surviving ring-sword is shown to be the 5th cent example from Petersfinger (grave 21) which, with the evidence of early continental pommels, suggests that the sword-ring was a Frankish innovation. Although the English evidence is not numerically weighty, a chronological development from these early rings to the free-moving rings of the 6th cent Kentish swords can be shown. By contrast, fixed rings were developed on continental and Scandinavian swords in 6th cent, continuing into late 7th in Sweden and Finland. The three English fixed rings show foreign influence. All the known ring-swords, including some hitherto unrecognised examples, are surveyed and catalogued, and a possible means of attachment for sword-beads is suggested. In an appendix the Gilton pommel runes are transliterated and previous translations reviewed; but a satisfactory interpretation cannot yet be offered. LW

Recent discoveries in the Bodleian Library Oxford

Recent restoration of Duke Humphrey's Library and the Divinity School has permitted some elucidation of their complex architectural history. The sixty-five years that elapsed between laying of the foundations and opening of the Library, with concomitant major alterations of plan, led to structural weaknesses which have required much remedial work over the centuries. This culminated in a major rescue operation in the 1950s, during the course of which many interesting discoveries were made beneath the floors and behind the fixed furniture and fittings. In particular, light was thrown on 1) the building history of the Divinity School and Duke Humphrey, including the original appearance of the E and W façades; 2) the original furnishings of the 15th cent library; 3) the nature and extent of Sir Thomas Bodley's alterations to its fabric and fittings between 1598 and 1605. The inspiration for the upper-room library is traceable to Thomas Chaundler who was familiar with Fromond's Chantry at Winchester College, a closely similar but miniature version of the Oxford design.
