Introduction
John Lloyd
11 - 23
A personal view of the history of the Archaeologia Cambrensis and of the Association, its leading lights, and a personal memoir of various Field Meetings.
Prehistoric Period
W Grimes
24 - 79
Grimes introduces his paper by stating that he has 'tried not to give a catalogue of finds or sites, but to summarise our prehistory in terms of the successive cultures of which it is composed.' The paper works through from geological and topographical descriptions of Wales to human occupation and cultures to the end of the Iron Age. Illustrated with distribution maps, plans of sites and fine photographs of objects.
Roman Period
H Randall
80 - 104
The author summarises results of excavation and other research into Roman Wales, beginning by looking at towns, villas, lesser civil sites and native settlements, and going on to industry and the military occupation - the latter in some detail. Lightly illustrated.
Early Christian Period. I. Settlements Sites and Other Remains; II. Inscribed and Sculptured Stones
Aileen Fox
R Macalister
105 - 122
Fox assesses sparse excavation and finds evidence for settlement and change in post-Roman Wales. There are two tabulated Appendices: List of finds of Dark Age date from Wales and The Bangor silver hoard. Macalister contributes an entertaining short history of the study of inscribed and sculptured stones in Wales as published in Archaeologia Cambrensis
Medieval Period. I. The Castles of Wales; II. The Greater Monastic Houses
B St J O'Neil
A Taylor
129 - 147
O'Neil contributes a precis of the [then] state of knowledge of the castles of Wales using illustrations and description from HMSO Guides for the most part. Part II by Taylor discusses the current knowledge of the greater monastic houses of Wales, their Guardianship, and state of preservation. He concludes by suggesting possible fruitful research topics.
