Abstract
Giants' Hills 2 long barrow, Skendleby, Lincolnshire
John G Evans
Derek D A Simpson
1 - 45
Report concerning one of two Neolithic longbarrows in this parish excavated between 1975-76. The earliest features, dated to 3000-3500 bc, were a façade of posts and fencing and a mortuary area of two massive half-treetrunk posts. Shortly after 3000 bc disarticulated human bones, two skulls, several long bones and a few other pieces representing at least three individuals, were placed on the ground surface between the two split treetrunk posts and the façade was burnt to the ground. The barrow was built around and on top of the mortuary area and over the area previously covered by the façade. The mound material was derived from a quarry ditch which surrounded the barrow without a break and was backfilled at the west end. Molluscan analysis was applied to the barrow soil and the infill of the ditches revealing that the dense deciduous woodland that had covered the area in the mid Postglacial was cleared c 3500 bc and the area partly cultivated. An abundance of Peterborough ware, charcoal and animal bone indicates a period of reuse in the later Neolithic and there was evidence for backfilling at one stage. There was a short episode of tillage in the Beaker period and a long episode of grassland in the Bronze and Iron Ages. Overploughing from the Roman period onwards has led to the near total destruction of the site. Au(adapted)
The pre-Flavian military belt: the evidence from Britain
Francis Grew
Nick Griffiths
47 - 84
This paper is a synthesis and discussion of British finds of fittings from the Roman military belt, frequently recovered from sites in Britain. It is based on a thorough search both of the published literature and of museum collections, particularly those in the south of England and the midlands. Identical pieces have been recovered in greater numbers from contemporary forts and fortresses along the Rhine and Danube frontiers. They have yet to be studied and published as a group, a process which would yield valuable information about their spatial distribution, the relative popularity of different decorative schemes and the centres of manufacture.

The Pilgrims' Hall, Winchester: hammerbeams, base crucks and aisle-derivative roof structures
John Crook
129 - 159
The complete medieval structure, the Pilgrims' range, of which the Hall forms rather less than half, has not previously been investigated in detail. Originally a six bay building, the existence of continuous longitudinal members and the uniform upper roof structure throughout the length of the range show that the entire roof was erected in a single campaign. Its outstanding significance for the study of early medieval carpentry lies in its inclusion of four major `aisle derivative' roof truss types in a single building: a true aisled truss; a base cruck truss; two hammerbeam trusses and at least one raised aisle truss.
