The praetorium at Deva
D F Petch
1 - 5
[SJ 4066] . This is a summary account of the building. North of the principia lie west and south ranges of rooms, forming an L-shape within which lay a courtyard. The south range had an external colonnade, with the main entrance to the building apparently in the centre of the range. The wide doorways of the rooms imply storage rather than residential accommodation. In the courtyard was an internal colonnade running north-south, on the east side of which was a building. The close analogy to this complex as a praetorium is Neuss. Six stone periods are distinguished; the absence of a preceding timber one is noteworthy. BD. See pp 7-13 in the same volume for V Nutton's discussion of the altar recently found in the praetorium. It has a dedication in cultured, even pretentious Greek to Asclepius, Hygeia and Panakeia by the doctor Antiochus, almost certainly attached to the legion. Military doctors are discussed. BD

Earth moving machines and their employment on archaeological excavations
D F Petch
15 - 28
The advantages of rapid removal of overburden from rural and urban archaeological sites alike are obvious, and this paper from the CBA's 1965 conference illustrates and describes the most suitable machines in two main categories. In the first (general purpose or crawler excavators and stationary hydraulic excavators) the most useful machine is the back-acter bucket for trench-digging. In the second category are machines which rely on their own tractive power for the digging process: bulldozers are best suited to clearance of debris or undergrowth and subsequent back-filling; scrapers are neat and speedy for extensive stripping of a large site; and the tractor shovel, especially with back-acter bucket, has many applications in archaeological work. Discussion with a civil engineer on site will assist in the correct choice of machine taking into account cost-effectiveness, accessibility of site, placing of spoil and weather conditions. Safety precautions must be of the strictest.
