Abstract
The development of salt-making in prehistoric Europe
Pierre-Louis Gouletquer
2 - 14
Briquetage, the process of salt-making, is discussed with examples from the Iron Age of NW Europe and some other cultures. The process is only archaeologically detectable when fire has been used in the evaporation process and mould fragments remain; a variety of these is figured. In England salt-making appears to be a Continental introduction during the Iron Age and it develops further during the Roman period, in contrast to the Continental experience where sun-evaporated salt became available. Salt may have had cultural significance, for instance in gift-exchange, in addition to its economic use. See also Y Kondo on briquetage in Actes VIIIe Congr Int Sci Préhist Protohist, Beograd, 1973, vol 3, 417-20.
Some small un-jettied medieval houses in Essex
Adrian V B Gibson
22 - 31
A number of post-medieval-looking houses in Essex are late medieval houses in disguise. Four examples of various kinds are figured and discussed; the principal diagnostic features are the medieval plan and windows set over the gable tie-beams. A hood may project over the smoke gablet and even where this has vanished evidence for it may remain. Problems of dating are increased by the relatively low social status of these houses, but the carpentry joints suggest a span of about 1400-1580.
Trial excavation on a Saxon site at Bonhunt, Essex, 1970-71
Richard Bradley

38 - 56
TL 511334. Small trial excavations on a previously unrecorded occupation site of predominantly middle and Late Saxon date revealed slight traces of a sequence of structures and a ceramic series including Ipswich, Thetford and St Neot's wares, with two varieties of grass-tempered pottery. Their relative chronology is briefly discussed and changing evidence for subsistence is also presented in summary. A series of Saxon small finds from excavation and field survey includes several bronze pins, bone artefacts, a whistle, and spindle whorls. Au(amp)
