Detecting milk proteins
in ancient pots

Collins, M.J.
[First paragraph] Deciding whether to farm cattle for
milk or beef was just as complex in
the past as it is today. Compared with
meat production, dairying is a high-input,
high-output, high-risk operation indicative
of an intensive, sophisticated economy, but
this practice is notoriously difficult to
demonstrate in the archaeological record.
Here we provide evidence for the presence
of milk proteins preserved in prehistoric
vessels, which to our knowledge have not
been detected before. This finding resolves
the controversy that has surrounded dairying
on the Scottish Atlantic coast during
the Iron Age and indicates that farming
by the early inhabitants of this harsh, marginal
environment was surprisingly well
developed.

The thermal history of human fossils and the likelihood of successful DNA amplification
Smith, C.I.
Chamberlain, A.T.
Riley, M.S.
Stringer, C.
Collins, M.J.
Recent success in the amplification of ancient DNA (aDNA) from fossil humans has led to calls for further tests to be carried out on similar material. However, there has been little systematic research on the survival of DNA in the fossil record, even though the environment of the fossil is known to be of paramount importance for the survival of biomolecules over archaeological and geological timescales. A better understanding of aDNA survival would enable research to focus on material with greater chances of successful amplification, thus preventing the unnecessary loss of material and valuable researcher time. We argue that the thermal history of a fossil is a key parameter for the survival of biomolecules. The thermal history of a number of northwest European Neanderthal cave sites is reconstructed here and they are ranked in terms of the relative likelihood of aDNA survival at the sites, under the assumption that DNA depurination is the principal mechanism of degradation. The claims of aDNA amplification from material found at Lake Mungo, Australia, are also considered in the light of the thermal history of this site.

An Anglo-Saxon execution cemetery at Walkington Wold, Yorkshire
Buckberry, J.L.
Hadley, D.M.
This paper presents a re-evaluation of a cemetery excavated over
30 years ago at Walkington Wold in east Yorkshire. The cemetery is
characterized by careless burial on diverse alignments, and by the fact that
most of the skeletons did not have associated crania. The cemetery has been
variously described as being the result of an early post-Roman massacre, as
providing evidence for a ‘Celtic’ head cult or as an Anglo-Saxon execution
cemetery. In order to resolve the matter, radiocarbon dates were acquired and
a re-examination of the skeletal remains was undertaken. It was confirmed that
the cemetery was an Anglo-Saxon execution cemetery, the only known example
from northern England, and the site is set into its wider context in the paper.

Viking and native: re-thinking identity in the Danelaw
Hadley, D.M.
This paper addresses the impact of the Scandinavian settlements in England in the ninth and tenth centuries, and the role that ethnic identity and affiliation played in the society of the so–called Danelaw. It is argued that ethnic identity was not a constant factor, but one that only became relevant, at least in the evidence available to us, at certain times. It is suggested that the key to understanding expressions of ethnicity lies in the absorption of new ruling elites in northern and eastern England, and in subsequent political manoeuvring, rather than in the scale of the Scandinavian settlement. Indeed, the scale of the settlement does not easily explain most of our evidence, with the exception of some of the linguistic data. This paper stresses the importance of discussing the Scandinavian settlements not simply by reference to ethnic factors, but within the social and political context of early medieval society.

Caring for the dead in later Anglo-Saxon England
Hadley, D.M.
Buckberry, J.L.
[FIRST PARAGRAPH]
The textual evidence for attitudes to death and the regulations surrounding burial
in the tenth and eleventh centuries includes law-codes, penitentials and homilies.
There have been numerous studies of this evidence, including that by Tinti elsewhere
in this volume, and therefore only a brief review is offered here. Law-codes
reveal concern with where the dead should be buried and with ensuring that
various payments, including those for mortuary provision, should be made to the
appropriate church. The payment known as soul-scot, a burial tax which was paid
to the minster church, is not codified until the early eleventh century, but is clearly
of earlier origin given that it is mentioned in charters of the late ninth century. In
a law-code issued by King Æthelred in 1008 it is stated that ‘if any body is buried
elsewhere outside the proper parish (rihtscriftscire), the payment for the soul is
nevertheless to be paid to the minster to which it belongs’, which implies that the
income to minster churches was under threat. Indeed, the observations of Ælfric
of Eynsham c.1006 imply that there was sometimes priestly competition to tend
to the bodies of the deceased, and doubtless also to claim the funerary dues:
‘Some priests are glad when men die and they flock to the corpse like greedy
ravens when they see a carcass, in wood or in field; but it is fitting for [a priest] . . .
to attend the men who belong to his parish (hyrnysse) at his church; and he must
never go into another’s district to any corpse, unless he is invited.’

Warriors, heroes and companions: negotiating masculinity in Viking-Age England
Hadley, D.M.
Detailed analysis of the construction of gender identities has transformed our understanding of many aspects of early
medieval society, yet the study of the Vikings in Britain has largely remained immune to this branch of scholarship. In
responding to this lacuna, this paper examines the gendered dimension of the funerary record of the Scandinavians
in England in the ninth and tenth centuries, and suggests that the emphasis on masculine display, in both the burial
and the sculptural record, is not merely a quirk of survival, but rather it has much to reveal about the negotiation of
lordship in the context of conquest and settlement.

Ceramic micropalaeontology: the analysis of microfossils in ancient ceramics
Quinn, Patrick
Day, Peter
Microfossils can be a common component of ancient ceramic artefacts. Their analysis in this unusual context is a little-known, yet promising cross-disciplinary application of micropalaeontology. The following article presents the first detailed assessment of the phenomenon of microfossils in ancient ceramics and demonstrates how micropalaeontology can contribute to a range of issues in archaeological ceramic analysis and the reconstruction of the human past. In describing a methodology by which micropalaeontologists and archaeologists can analyse microfossiliferous ceramics, this paper presents the foundations of an approach, which is here referred to as Ceramic Micropalaeontology.

A demographic analysis of Maiden Castle hillfort: Evidence for conflict in the late Iron Age and early Roman period
Redfern, Rebecca C.
Chamberlain, Andrew T.
The late Iron Age human remains from the British hillfort of Maiden Castle are frequently cited within the
archaeological and bioarchaeological literature as providing evidence for conflict. This interpretation is
based on osteological work undertaken in the late 1930s. In order to test the validity of using this sample
in conflict research, the authors undertook a detailed analysis of the site’s demography in comparison
with contemporary late Iron Age attritional cemeteries from Dorset (England) and additional conflict
mortality data. These results showed that the 1st century BC to 1st century AD samples conformed to
a catastrophic profile, as greater numbers of young adult males had been buried during this phase of
occupation. In combination with new bioarchaeological findings and the identification of an embedded
Roman projectile weapon, we conclude that individuals had died during an episode of warfare, one of
which probably included the Roman conquest of 43AD.

The application of histomorphometry and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy to the analysis of early Anglo-Saxon burned bone
Squires, K.E.
Thompson, T.J.U.
Islam, M.
Chamberlain, A.
Macroscopic examination, histomorphometry and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) are applied to the analysis of burned bones from the early Anglo-Saxon cemetery at Elsham in Lincolnshire, UK. These methods were undertaken to gain a greater understanding of pyre conditions from an archaeological context and the effects of burning on bone microstructure. Sixteen samples were employed for thin-section analysis while eight samples were used with FTIR. The results suggest that these methods correspond well with macroscopic examination, though anomalies did occur. The techniques employed in this paper have demonstrated that the temperatures reached on the funerary pyres at Elsham ranged from 600 degrees C to over 900 degrees C under oxidizing conditions.

The Later Stone Age Calvaria from Iwo Eleru, Nigeria: morphology and chronology
Harvati, K.
Stringer, C.
Gruen, R.
Aubert, M.
Allsworth-Jones, P.
Folorunso, C.A.
Background: In recent years the Later Stone Age has been redated to a much deeper time depth than previously thought. At the same time, human remains from this time period are scarce in Africa, and even rarer in West Africa. The Iwo Eleru burial is one of the few human skeletal remains associated with Later Stone Age artifacts in that region with a proposed Pleistocene date. We undertook a morphometric reanalysis of this cranium in order to better assess its affinities. We also conducted Uranium-series dating to re-evaluate its chronology.
Methodology/Principal Findings: A 3-D geometric morphometric analysis of cranial landmarks and semilandmarks was conducted using a large comparative fossil and modern human sample. The measurements were collected in the form of three dimensional coordinates and processed using Generalized Procrustes Analysis. Principal components, canonical variates, Mahalanobis D(2) and Procrustes distance analyses were performed. The results were further visualized by comparing specimen and mean configurations. Results point to a morphological similarity with late archaic African specimens dating to the Late Pleistocene. A long bone cortical fragment was made available for U-series analysis in order to re-date the specimen. The results (similar to 11.7-16.3 ka) support a terminal Pleistocene chronology for the Iwo Eleru burial as was also suggested by the original radiocarbon dating results and by stratigraphic evidence.
Conclusions/Significance: Our findings are in accordance with suggestions of deep population substructure in Africa and a complex evolutionary process for the origin of modern humans. They further highlight the dearth of hominin finds from West Africa, and underscore our real lack of knowledge of human evolution in that region.

The archaeological context of the Iwo Eleru cranium from Nigeria and preliminary results of new morphometric studies
Allsworth-Jones, P.
Harvati, K.
Stringer, C.
The Iwo Eleru skeleton was excavated from the rock shelter of this name in 1965 by Thurstan Shaw and his team. This contracted burial was found in a level with Late Stone Age (LSA) artefacts, and a radiocarbon determination on associated charcoal gave an (uncorrected) age of 11,200 ± 200 BP. The excavators went to considerable trouble to satisfy themselves that the specimen was in situ. There is no occupation prior to the LSA and only slight indications of a subsequent “iron age” occupation. Significant human burials have since been excavated elsewhere in West Africa (notably at Shum Laka and Gobero) but Iwo Eleru so far retains its status as the earliest known such burial in the region. The poorly preserved skeleton was of an adult and probably male individual, and the skull was reconstructed and studied by Brothwell. He linked the skull to recent West African populations, but he recognized that its lower vault and frontal profile were unusual. He also supplied cranial data for a Principal Components Analysis performed by Peter Andrews, and noted that this placed the specimen apart from recent African samples. Stringer included the Iwo Eleru cranium in univariate and multivariate (Canonical Variates, Generalised Distance) analyses for his doctoral thesis, completed in 1974. His results highlighted apparent archaic aspects in the specimen in its long and rather low cranial shape, and although modern overall, it also resembled fossils such as Omo Kibish 2 and Ngandong in certain respects. New studies using a primary replica of Brothwell’s reconstruction have now been carried out by Harvati, employing geometric morphometrics to generate PCA, CVA, Procrustes Distance and Minimum Spanning Tree analyses of the specimen. The new morphometric studies establish the relatively archaic shape of the vault, and confirm that this Late Stone Age individual was markedly different from succeeding populations. The results highlight our present relative lack of knowledge concerning the identity of the manufacturers of LSA artefacts in West Africa and other parts of the continent.

Abrasive and impact wear of stone used to manufacture axes in Neolithic Greece

Roubos, V.
Excavations at the Neolithic settlement at Makriyalos in Northern Greece brought to light a large number of stone axe heads, the majority of which were manufactured from serpentinite and igneous rocks. Detailed study of the manufacturing traces on the archaeological implements identified that both percussive (pecking) and abrasive techniques (sawing and grinding/polishing) were employed for the production of the axes. There is limited evidence, however, of how these processes may have been undertaken.
The aim of this work was to build on previous research investigating sawing and polishing methods and the materials that may have been used in these tasks.
Modern samples of two types of serpentinite and a dolerite were collected from the environs of the archaeological site. These were tested for strength and porosity. Through archaeological research the materials available to Neolithic people were established and some testing was carried out to establish sliding speeds and loads and percussive impact velocities achievable by a human to feed into the tribological test design.
Pin-on-disc wear tests were carried out using quartz, chalcedony and sandstone as the pin material in wet and dry conditions to study sawing and polishing behaviour. Reciprocating tests were carried out using leather and combinations of lubricant (animal fat and water) and abrasive medium (sand) to study effects on polishing. Percussive impact tests were also carried out.
The tests indicated that with certain combinations of materials and test conditions, both sawing and polishing could be achieved. A series of stages for the polishing were identified which are in line with observations made by archaeologists. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Background: Understanding the evolution of cultivated barley is important for two reasons. First, the evolutionary relationships between different landraces might provide information on the spread and subsequent development of barley cultivation, including the adaptation of the crop to new environments and its response to human selection. Second, evolutionary information would enable landraces with similar traits but different genetic backgrounds to be identified, providing alternative strategies for the introduction of these traits into modern germplasm.
Results: The evolutionary relationships between 651 barley landraces were inferred from the genotypes for 24 microsatellites. The landraces could be divided into nine populations, each with a different geographical distribution. Comparisons with ear row number, caryopsis structure, seasonal growth habit and flowering time revealed a degree of association between population structure and phenotype, and analysis of climate variables indicated that the landraces are adapted, at least to some extent, to their environment. Human selection and/or environmental adaptation may therefore have played a role in the origin and/or maintenance of one or more of the barley landrace populations. There was also evidence that at least some of the population structure derived from geographical partitioning set up during the initial spread of barley cultivation into Europe, or reflected the later introduction of novel varieties. In particular, three closely-related populations were made up almost entirely of plants with the daylength nonresponsive version of the photoperiod response gene PPD-H1, conferring adaptation to the long annual growth season of northern Europe. These three populations probably originated in the eastern Fertile Crescent and entered Europe after the initial spread of agriculture.
Conclusions: The discovery of population structure, combined with knowledge of associated phenotypes and environmental adaptations, enables a rational approach to identification of landraces that might be used as sources of germplasm for breeding programs. The population structure also enables hypotheses concerning the prehistoric spread and development of agriculture to be addressed.

Weaning at Anglo-Saxon raunds: Implications for changing breastfeeding practice in britain over two millennia.
Haydock, H
Clarke, L
Craig-Atkins, E
Howcroft, R
Buckberry, J
This study investigated stable-isotope ratio evidence of weaning for the late Anglo-Saxon population of Raunds Furnells, Northamptonshire, UK. δ(15) N and δ(13) C values in rib collagen were obtained for individuals of different ages to assess the weaning age of infants within the population. A peak in δ(15) N values at about 2-year-old, followed by a decline in δ(15) N values until age three, indicates a change in diet at that age. This change in nitrogen isotope ratios corresponds with the mortality profile from the site, as well as with archaeological and documentary evidence on attitudes towards juveniles in the Anglo-Saxon period. The pattern of δ(13) C values was less clear. Comparison of the predicted age of weaning to published data from sites dating from the Iron Age to the 19th century in Britain reveals a pattern of changing weaning practices over time, with increasingly earlier commencement and shorter periods of complementary feeding in more recent periods. Such a change has implications for the interpretation of socioeconomic changes during this period of British history, since earlier weaning is associated with decreased birth spacing, and could thus have contributed to population growth.

Chest burial: A middle anglo-saxon funerary rite from northern england
Craig-Atkins, E
Chest burials, in which the body is interred in a wooden chest with a hinged lid, are one of the most characteristic funerary practices of the middle Anglo-Saxon period in northern England. The majority are dated to between the seventh and ninth centuries, and are found at 19 different sites located within the contemporary early medieval kingdom of Northumbria. The collation of a corpus of chest burials, and examination of their form, context and the identities of the individuals they were afforded to, have revealed that these interments seem to have been made in reused pieces of domestic furniture and provided to both sexes, but rarely afforded to infants or young children. The individuals buried in chests also shared an extremely physically active lifestyle and in some cases met a violent death, further distinguishing them from their contemporaries. © 2012 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.

The Augustan temple and forum of the colony of Barcino: A 90 degree turn
Orengo, H.A.
Cortés, A.
The Augustan Roman temple at Barcino has been a key element during the last 60 years in the research of the colony's urban development. Its peculiar elongated and narrow plan, first proposed in 1835, and its location at the highest point of the ancient city have dictated our understanding of the urban layout of Barcino by conditioning the shape of the city's forum and affecting the interpretation of the archaeological excavations carried out in the area since then. This paper proposes an alternative plan of the temple, based on data drawn from recent archaeological excavations, topographical analysis, typological comparisons, and the study of written sources. Our alternative hypothesis for the temple permits an in-depth reinterpretation of the plan of the forum and the evolution of the urban plan. © 2014 The Authors.

Shifting occupation dynamics in the Madriu-Perafita-Claror valleys (Andorra) from the early Neolithic to the Chalcolithic: The onset of high mountain cultural landscapes
Orengo, H.A.
Palet, J.M.
Ejarque, A.
Miras, Y.
Riera, S.
The Madriu-Perafita-Claror valleys (MPCV) (Eastern Pyrenees, Andorra) were the focus of a multidisciplinary microregional landscape research project that aimed to study the long term shaping of this UNESCO World Heritage Site in the category of cultural landscape. The study area is situated on a glacial modelled high mountain environment ranging from 1250 to 2800 m.a.s.l. Multidisciplinary approaches integrating archaeology and palaeoenvironment have been directed towards the unravelling of the long-term human-landscape relationships, which ultimately resulted in the MPCV cultural landscape. The development of high-resolution temporal and spatial studies could successfully correlate archaeological and palaeoenvironmental data. This study leads to the location of more than 400 archaeological structures, 55 of which were excavated, and the multiproxy study of 7 palaeoenvironmental sequences. The combination and analysis of all these data have permitted developing a history of human-environment interactions from the Mesolithic to the 20th century. In this paper, data gathered in the MPCV corresponding to the Neolithic and Chalcolithic periods are presented for the first time. During the Early Neolithic small groups are documented with a diversified economy in which grazing, hunting, fishing, gathering and an incipient cereal agriculture activities are well represented. These groups seem to follow highly mobile occupation patterns with continuous high mountain seasonal grazing exploitations that lasted one or two centuries. They appear to frequent diverse altitudinal belts in order to take advantage of different resources. A strong pastoral orientation is related to the exploitation of high mountain areas. During the Middle/late Neolithic human groups show a higher degree of sedentism. Hunting and gathering are still important activities although agriculture and animal husbandry increase in importance. During this period an augmentation in the pastoral pressure in the MPCV is also documented, linked to the first use of fires to create grazing areas. Symbolic landscape appropriation practices are also firstly documented during this period. During the Chalcolithic, human landscape use becomes intensive enough to cause permanent landscape changes. The upper parts of the MPCV are deforested by the action of fire while intensive agriculture takes place at the lower valleys. The evidence presented by the MPCV project demonstrates that it was during the Neolithic when this high mountain cultural landscape was firstly formed. This process is probably related to an increase in the population and progressive sedentism, which required a more intensive and organised use of resources and, eventually, the adoption of landscape management practices. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd and INQUA.

No man is an island: evidence of pre-Viking Age migration to the Isle of Man
Hemer, K.
Evans, J.A.
Chenery, C.A.
Lamb, A.L.
The Isle of Man occupies a central position in the Irish Sea, in close proximity to the coasts of Ireland, north Wales, northwest England and southwest Scotland. The island's location means it presents an ideal stopping point for seafarers navigating the Irish Sea ‘trade highway’, and consequently, during the early medieval period, the island was the focus of power struggles between British and Irish elites, and eventually became the target of attack and subsequent settlement of people from Scandinavia during the Viking Age. It is the Viking-Age evidence that has been central to the discussion of migration to the Isle of Man to date, whilst less consideration has been given to population mobility to the island prior to the 10th century. This paper seeks to address this by presenting strontium and oxygen isotope data for a sample (n = 12) of two pre-10th century cemetery populations from the Isle of Man: Balladoole and Peel Castle. This study highlights evidence for mobility to the island prior to the advent of Viking-Age migrations, and consideration is given to the possible motivations for this early medieval mobility.

Evidence of early medieval trade and migration between Wales and the Mediterranean Sea region
Hemer, K.
Evans, J.A.
Chenery, C.A.
Lamb, A.L.
Imported Mediterranean pottery recovered from 5th–7th century settlement sites along the south Wales coast indicates that trade and contact between Wales and Byzantium continued following the collapse of the Roman Empire in the early-5th century. It is hypothesised that people as well as pottery continued to travel to Wales from Byzantium, some of whom subsequently settled amongst the local communities. Strontium and oxygen isotope analysis was undertaken on human remains (n = 33 individuals) from four early medieval cemeteries from south Wales. The study identified individuals who may not have been local to the British Isles, thus demonstrating that the isotopic analysis of human remains from Wales can further our understanding of migration to Britain during the early medieval period.

The Diagnosis and Context of a Facial Deformity from an Anglo-Saxon Cemetery at Spofforth, North Yorkshire
Craig, E.
Craig, G.
An individual aged between 6 and 7years at death from a 7th to 9th century cemetery at Village Farm, Spofforth, North Yorkshire, presented significant pathological swelling to the left facial bones. The ectocranial surface was bulbous and uneven, and the expanded diploë was densely packed with a mass of thick trabeculae. Radiographic and histological analysis, in combination with the macroscopically observed pathological changes, supported the differential diagnosis of fibrous dysplasia. The skeletal changes to the left face and jaw would have resulted in a significant facial deformity. Examples of individuals with physical impairments or disfigurements from Anglo-Saxon cemeteries are rare. Nevertheless, it seems that a significant proportion are afforded unusual burial practices more often associated with deviancy, for example, at the edge of cemeteries or on a reversed orientation, seemingly indicating that their diminished physical capabilities or altered physical appearance had a detrimental effect on their social status. The child from Spofforth was, however, buried in a normative manner, extended, supine and in a plain earth-cut grave, with no indication that their facial deformity had prompted unusual funerary provision. This example of facial disfigurement contributes to a growing corpus of potentially disabled individuals from early medieval England. © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Reconstructing the Roman London flavourscape: New insights into the exotic food plant trade using network and spatial analyses
Livarda, A.
Orengo, H.A.
Using archaeobotanical data and examining them with a novel combination of density interpolation surfaces and social and spatial network analyses, this study has brought together exotic food plants in Roman London to outline the changing 'face' of its flavourscape, and contextualise it within the broader exotics commerce in Britannia. Consumption of a variety of exotics appeared to be widespread since the very first stages of London's establishment and their presence was maintained throughout although later on, as life in the town developed and its character changed, the focus of their distribution also changed. The emphasis shifted from the core of the city in its early days towards its outer zones, such as the upper Walbrook valley and Southwark in the Middle Roman, and the western and eastern sectors in the Late Roman phase. These changes appeared to largely reflect the changes in the overall commerce network of exotics in Britannia. In this network London starts as a mainly consumption place in the Early Roman phase to become the main redistribution centre in the Middle Roman and the necessary intermediate node in the transport system that had been established by the Late Roman phase, connecting the south to the north.

Reconsidering the water system of Roman Barcino (Barcelona) from supply to discharge
Orengo, H.
Miró, C.
This paper presents the results of the ‘Roman Barcino Water Network’ Project. This study employed a series of methodologies aiming at joining and interpreting all data available on water supply, distribution, management, use and discharge in the Roman colony of Barcino (modern Barcelona). Analyses of the results substantially modified previous knowledge of Barcino’s water organization and provided one of the few examples in which the whole water system of a Roman city has been tackled. We concluded that the water supply employed a single aqueduct, which divided before entering the city and not two of them as it was previously assumed. Barcino’s water distribution system was designed according to the different uses of water and was conditioned by the city’s particular topography. The results also stress the colony’s ample water availability, which despite its small size, allowed the maintenance of multiple public and private baths as befitted an accommodated population of merchants and administrators.

Combining terrestrial stereophotogrammetry, DGPS and GIS-based 3D voxel modelling in the volumetric recording of archaeological features
Orengo, H.A.
Archaeological recording of structures and excavations in high mountain areas is greatly hindered by the scarce availability of both space, to transport material, and time. The Madriu-Perafita-Claror, InterAmbAr and PCR Mont Lozère high mountain projects have documented hundreds of archaeological structures and carried out many archaeological excavations. These projects required the development of a technique which could record both structures and the process of an archaeological excavation in a fast and reliable manner.The combination of DGPS, close-range terrestrial stereophotogrammetry and voxel based GIS modelling offered a perfect solution since it helped in developing a strategy which would obtain all the required data on-site fast and with a high degree of precision. These data are treated off-site to obtain georeferenced orthoimages covering both the structures and the excavation process from which site and excavation plans can be created. The proposed workflow outputs also include digital surface models and volumetric models of the excavated areas from which topography and archaeological profiles were obtained by voxel-based GIS procedures. In this way, all the graphic recording required by standard archaeological practices was met. © 2012 International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, Inc. (ISPRS).

Water management and land-use practices from the Iron-Age to the Roman period in Eastern Iberia
Orengo, H.A.
Ejarque, A.
Albiach, R.
This study investigates water and land usage in the territory of La Carència, an Ibero-Roman city located near Turís (Valencia, Spain) in Eastern Iberia. The outstanding political importance of La Carència during the Iberian Iron-Age period is attested by its large size, the monumental character of its structures and on-site finds. Multidisciplinary and micro-regional landscape work at its territory documented significant differences between the Iberian and the Roman settlement patterns, which are attributed to the distinct agricultural production and water management systems of each period. While Iberian sites are more related to the agricultural exploitation of flat, dry land for which water sources, such as natural springs, were probably used, Roman sites seem to be associated with more productive soils that take advantage of flooding areas and the drainage of water accumulation zones.
Such different agricultural preferences based on large-scale water management are documented for the first time in the Iberian Peninsula and they attest to the great potential of multidisciplinary landscape archaeology to address past land-use practices.

Pitch production during the Roman period: An intensive mountain industry for a globalised economy?

Palet, J.M.
Ejarque, A.
Miras, Y.
Riera, S.
The authors' research project in the Pyrenees mountains has located and excavated Roman kilns for producing pitch from pine resin. Their investigations reveal a whole sustainable industry, integrated into the local environmental cycle, supplying pitch to the Roman network and charcoal as a spin-off to the local iron extractors. The paper makes a strong case for applying combined archaeological and palaeoenvironmental investigations in upland areas, showing mountain industries to have been not so much marginal and pastoral as key players in the economy of the Roman period and beyond it into the seventh century AD. © Antiquity Publications Ltd.

The Roman centuriated landscape: Conception, genesis, and development as inferred from the ager tarraconensis case
Palet, J.M.
Orengo, H.A.
Although centuriation was only one system of Roman land division, its impact on the landscape and its visibility in modern field arrangements make it the most commonly recognized expression of Roman landscapes. Centuriated grid systems are usually analyzed from a materialistic point of view and consequently are regarded as an assertion of Roman dominance over conquered territories. In this sense, their productive function is clear. The hinterland of Tarraco (the ancient capital of the Roman province of Tarraconensis) offers one of the most clearly documented examples of multiple-grid centuriated systems. From 2006 to 2010, the Landscape Archaeology Research Group of the Catalan Institute of Classical Archaeology employed a wide array of digital and field methodologies at Tarraco to record the traces of centuriated land divisions and their Roman origin. Most importantly, these methods have allowed research to move beyond pure description of the traces to explore the concepts and ideas behind the making of a centuriated landscape. By using Tarraco as a case study, this article shows how centuriation was not only a system for dividing the land but also a conceptual appropriation of the landscape based on a strong mythical and religious background.

Shifting occupation dynamics in the Madriu-Perafita-Claror valleys (Andorra) from the early Neolithic to the Chalcolithic: The onset of high mountain cultural landscapes
Orengo, H.A.
Palet, J.M.
Ejarque, A.
Miras, Y.
Riera, S.
The Madriu-Perafita-Claror valleys (MPCV) (Eastern Pyrenees, Andorra) were the focus of a multidisciplinary microregional landscape research project that aimed to study the long term shaping of this UNESCO World Heritage Site in the category of cultural landscape. The study area is situated on a glacial modelled high mountain environment ranging from 1250 to 2800 m.a.s.l. Multidisciplinary approaches integrating archaeology and palaeoenvironment have been directed towards the unravelling of the long-term human-landscape relationships, which ultimately resulted in the MPCV cultural landscape. The development of high-resolution temporal and spatial studies could successfully correlate archaeological and palaeoenvironmental data. This study leads to the location of more than 400 archaeological structures, 55 of which were excavated, and the multiproxy study of 7 palaeoenvironmental sequences. The combination and analysis of all these data have permitted developing a history of human-environment interactions from the Mesolithic to the 20th century. In this paper, data gathered in the MPCV corresponding to the Neolithic and Chalcolithic periods are presented for the first time. During the Early Neolithic small groups are documented with a diversified economy in which grazing, hunting, fishing, gathering and an incipient cereal agriculture activities are well represented. These groups seem to follow highly mobile occupation patterns with continuous high mountain seasonal grazing exploitations that lasted one or two centuries. They appear to frequent diverse altitudinal belts in order to take advantage of different resources. A strong pastoral orientation is related to the exploitation of high mountain areas. During the Middle/late Neolithic human groups show a higher degree of sedentism. Hunting and gathering are still important activities although agriculture and animal husbandry increase in importance. During this period an augmentation in the pastoral pressure in the MPCV is also documented, linked to the first use of fires to create grazing areas. Symbolic landscape appropriation practices are also firstly documented during this period. During the Chalcolithic, human landscape use becomes intensive enough to cause permanent landscape changes. The upper parts of the MPCV are deforested by the action of fire while intensive agriculture takes place at the lower valleys. The evidence presented by the MPCV project demonstrates that it was during the Neolithic when this high mountain cultural landscape was firstly formed. This process is probably related to an increase in the population and progressive sedentism, which required a more intensive and organised use of resources and, eventually, the adoption of landscape management practices. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd and INQUA.

Stable carbon isotope analysis as a direct means of inferring crop water status and water management practices
Wallace, M.

Charles, M.
Fraser, R.
Halstead, P.
Heaton, T.H.E.
Bogaard, A.
Stable carbon isotope analysis of plant remains is a promising tool for researchers studying palaeoclimate and past agricultural systems. The potential of the technique is clear: it offers a direct measure of the water conditions in which plants grew. In this paper, we assess how reliably stable carbon isotope discrimination can be used to infer water conditions, through the analysis of present-day crop plants grown at multiple locations across the Mediterranean and south-west Asia. The key findings are that: (1) ∆¹³C, as expected, provides an indication of water conditions, (2) even for plants grown in similar conditions there is variation in ∆¹³C and (3) ∆¹³C may reflect crop water status for a period beginning well before the grain filling period. A new framework is presented which increases the robustness with which ∆¹³C values of plant remains can be interpreted in terms of the water conditions in which ancient crops grew.

‘A green thought in a green shade’; Compositional and typological observations concerning the production of emerald green glass vessels in the 1st century A.D.
Jackson, C.M.
Cottam, S.
The results of a programme of compositional analysis on a series of emerald green glass vessels of known form and date suggest that emerald green vessels have distinct characteristics that set them apart from most contemporary glasses. These specific compositional peculiarities presented here will be evaluated in the context of the varieties of vessel forms produced in the colour. In the light of our findings we will suggest a number of ways forward in the understanding of the structure of the early Roman glass industry.

Stable carbon Isotope evidence for neolithic and bronze age crop water management in the eastern mediterranean and southwest asia

In a large study on early crop water management, stable carbon isotope discrimination was determined for 275 charred grain samples from nine archaeological sites, dating primarily to the Neolithic and Bronze Age, from the Eastern Mediterranean and Western Asia. This has revealed that wheat (Triticum spp.) was regularly grown in wetter conditions than barley (Hordeum sp.), indicating systematic preferential treatment of wheat that may reflect a cultural preference for wheat over barley. Isotopic analysis of pulse crops (Lens culinaris, Pisum sativum and Vicia ervilia) indicates cultivation in highly varied water conditions at some sites, possibly as a result of opportunistic watering practices. The results have also provided evidence for local land-use and changing agricultural practices.

An established method of estimating the trophic level of an organism is through stable isotope analysis of
its tissues and those of its diet. This method has been used in archaeology to reconstruct past human diet
from the stable nitrogen isotope (d15N) values of human and herbivore bone collagen. However, this
approach, using the 15N-enrichment of human bone collagen d15N values over associated herbivore bone
collagen d15N values to predict the relative importance of animal protein, relies on the assumptions that:
(i) the d15N values of plants consumed by humans and herbivores are identical, and (ii) the 15Nenrichment
between diet and consumer is consistent. Bone collagen amino acid d15N values have the
potential to tackle these uncertainties, as they constrain the factors influencing bone collagen d15N
values. In this study, the d15N values of glutamic acid and phenylalanine in human and herbivore bone
collagen isolates from Neolithic sites in Germany, Greece and Turkey were determined by gas
chromatography-combustion-isotope ratio mass spectrometry. The fraction of animal protein in total
dietary protein consumed by the humans was estimated by: (i) comparing bulk human and herbivore
collagen d15N values, (ii) comparing bulk human and herbivore collagen and ancient charred cereal grain
d15N values, (iii) comparing human bone collagen d15NGlutamic acid and d15NPhenylalanine values, and (iv)
comparing d15NGlutamic acid values of human and herbivore bone collagen and estimated d15NGlutamic acid
values of ancient charred cereal grains. Where determined cereal grain d15N values are higher than
estimated herbivore forage values, estimates of animal protein consumption are significantly lower,
emphasising the importance of the plant nitrogen contribution to human bone collagen. This study also
highlights the need for further investigation into: (i) the D15NConsumer-Diet values of glutamic acid and
phenylalanine in terrestrial ecosystems, and (ii) D15NGlutamic acid-Phenylalanine values of common plant foods
in order to improve the accuracy and more widespread applicability of amino acid-based methods for
palaeodietary reconstruction.

A Great Big Melting Pot: Exploring Patterns of Glass Supply, Consumption and Recycling in Roman Coppergate, York
Jackson, C.M.
Paynter, S.
One hundred and ninety three glass fragments from the canabae in York were analysed (first to fourth centuries). They fall into six compositional groups: antimony colourless (Sb), high-manganese (high-Mn), low-manganese (low-Mn), mixed antimony and manganese (Sb–Mn), high iron, manganese and titanium (HIMT) and plant ash. Some groups represent production groups, some of which appear to be in limited supply in this western outpost, but are more prevalent elsewhere, and others reflect changing supply mechanisms. The majority of glasses fall into groups that demonstrate extensive recycling of glass. This has important implications for determining provenance using trace elements and isotopes.

Were Fertile Crescent crop progenitors higher yielding than other wild species that were never domesticated?

Osborne, C.P.
During the origin of agriculture in the Fertile Crescent, the broad spectrum of wild plant species exploited by hunter-gatherers narrowed dramatically. The mechanisms responsible for this specialization and the associated domestication of plants are intensely debated. We investigated why some species were domesticated rather than others, and which traits they shared.
We tested whether the progenitors of cereal and pulse crops, grown individually, produced a higher yield and less chaff than other wild grasses and legumes, thereby maximizing the return per seed planted and minimizing processing time. We compared harvest traits of species originating from the Fertile Crescent, including those for which there is archaeological evidence of deliberate collection.
Unexpectedly, wild crop progenitors in both families had neither higher grain yield nor, in grasses, less chaff, although they did have larger seeds. Moreover, small-seeded grasses actually returned a higher yield relative to the mass of seeds sown. However, cereal progenitors had threefold fewer seeds per plant, representing a major difference in how seeds are packaged on plants.
These data suggest that there was no intrinsic yield advantage to adopting large-seeded progenitor species as crops. Explaining why Neolithic agriculture was founded on these species, therefore, remains an important unresolved challenge.

Photogrammetric re-discovery of the hidden long-term landscapes of western Thessaly, central Greece
Orengo, H.A.
Krahtopoulou, A.
Garcia-Molsosa, A.
Palaiochoritis, K.
Stamati, A.
This paper introduces a novel workflow for the reconstruction of nowadays disappeared cultural landscapes based on the extraction of morphological information from historic aerial photographs. This methodology has been applied for the first time for the detection, classification and characterisation of upstanding, flattened and buried archaeological sites and various off-site ancient landscape features in the plain of Karditsa, western Thessaly. Although Thessaly has been the focus of prehistoric, and especially Neolithic, research in Greece, since the beginning of the 20th century, western Thessaly has not received as much archaeological attention and its archaeological record remains rather scanty. Moreover, an extensive land reclamation project implemented in the western Thessalian plain during the early 1970s resulted in the flattening of habitation tells and funerary sites of all periods. Thus, recognition of archaeological sites and relict landscape features becomes extremely difficult, whereas standard landscape analysis and application of mainstream Remote Sensing (RS) techniques based on multispectral satellite images are problematic. Digital photogrammetric reconstruction techniques and the subsequent GIS-based treatment of the results allowed overcoming these challenging limitations: the combined use of pre-1970s aerial photographs with later imagery provided a powerful means to reconstruct the landscape before the land reclamation process, using a workflow designed to highlight photogrammetry-derived topographic differences and multi-temporal imagery analysis. Hundreds of previously unknown mounded archaeological sites, as well as other ancient landscape traits such as roads, city grids and field systems were detected. More importantly, invaluable insights into the type and character of these archaeological features were gained, which would have been impossible to obtain by conventional RS techniques.

What goes in does not always come out: The impact of the ruminant digestive system of sheep on plant material, and its importance for the interpretation of dung-derived archaeobotanical assemblages
Wallace, M.
Charles, M.
On archaeological sites where livestock dung was a major fuel source, plant material that survives digestion intact may well be preserved in the remnants of dung-fuelled fires. Preserved plant remains which were derived from dung relate to the diet of animals, and thus provide a way of investigating the agro-pastoral economies of the past. In order to improve our understanding of the taphonomic processes to which plant material is exposed to during digestion, we applied archaeobotanical methods to the analysis of dung from sheep fed a known diet of cereal and wild plant material. Two clear patterns emerge from these investigations. First, cereal material (grain or chaff) survives digestion poorly and was rarely found in the dung analysed. Second, large proportions of seeds of various wild species survive digestion in an identifiable form, probably due to their small size and/or protective coating. These findings are crucial for reliable interpretation of dung-derived plant material in archaeological settings.

Tissue-thin parchment made it possible to produce the first pocket Bibles: Thousands were made in the 13th century. The source of this parchment, often called "uterine vellum," has been a long-standing controversy in codicology. Use of the Latin term abortivum in many sources has led some scholars to suggest that the skin of fetal calves or sheep was used. Others have argued that it would not be possible to sustain herds if so many pocket Bibles were produced from fetal skins, arguing instead for unexpected alternatives, such as rabbit. Here, we report a simple and objective technique using standard conservation treatments to identify the animal origin of parchment. The noninvasive method is a variant on zooarchaeology by mass spectrometry (ZooMS) peptide mass fingerprinting but extracts protein from the parchment surface by using an electrostatic charge generated by gentle rubbing of a PVC eraser on the membrane surface. Using this method, we analyzed 72 pocket Bibles originating in France, England, and Italy and 293 additional parchment samples that bracket this period. We found no evidence for the use of unexpected animals; however, we did identify the use of more than one mammal species in a single manuscript, consistent with the local availability of hides. These results suggest that ultrafine vellum does not necessarily derive from the use of abortive or newborn animals with ultrathin hides, but could equally well reflect a production process that allowed the skins of maturing animals of several species to be rendered into vellum of equal quality and fineness.

The discovery of Neolithic houses at Durrington Walls that are contemporary with the main construction phase of Stonehenge raised questions as to their interrelationship. Was Durrington Walls the residence of the builders of Stonehenge? Were the activities there more significant than simply domestic subsistence? Using lipid residue analysis, this paper identifies the preferential use of certain pottery types for the preparation of particular food groups and differential consumption of dairy and meat products between monumental and domestic areas of the site. Supported by the analysis of faunal remains, the results suggest seasonal feasting and perhaps organised culinary unification of a diverse community.

Defining bone movement in archaeological stratigraphy: a plea for clarity
Albarella, U.
In this paper, a terminology for the description of the movement of animal bone in archaeological stratigraphy is proposed and discussed. It is suggested that the terms ‘redeposition’ and ‘residuality’ are adopted to describe movement of bone from earlier to later levels, and ‘intrusion’ and ‘contamination’ to describe movement from later to earlier levels. While re-deposition and intrusion generically indicate movement of bones between different places and layers, residuality and contamination more specifically imply that the bones were found in a phase that was different from the one they were originally deposited in. Consequently, while redeposition and intrusion describe actual physical events, residuality and contamination represent analytical constructs, entirely dependent on the way archaeological phasing is designed. It is suggested that, whether such terminology is adopted or not, zooarchaeologists should be more explicit about the meaning of the concepts they use to describe animal bone movement and that they also make them as relevant as possible to broader archaeological concerns, rather than merely borrowing from the palaeontological tradition.

This pilot study investigates the existence of seasonal movements of sheep – transhumance – in Iron Age Catalonia (North-Eastern Spain). The occurrence of seasonalmovement of livestock between the coast and the interior, perhaps in relation to the Mediterraneanmarket, was suggested for this area based on landscape and palynological studies. This hypothesis was tested on the basis of strontium, carbon and oxygen isotope analysis fromseven sheep lower third molars. The evidence obtained suggests that the animals did not move across geological areas during the time of enamelmineralization. In addition, the paper provides valuable isotopic evidence that can be used in further studies.

An archaeological research excavation was conducted in the area immediately surrounding an upstanding glassmaking furnace near Shinrone, Co. Offaly, Ireland. It dates to the early to mid 17th century and was built and operated by French Huguenots, probably de Hennezells (de Hennezel/Henzeys/Hensie) who had settled in this region as part of the Crown plantation of King’s County (now Co. Offaly). This furnace, which employed wood rather than coal as a fuel, is a very rare survival, with no other upstanding examples known in Ireland, Britain or the Lorraine region of France where the form probably originated.

Cooking, dining and drinking
Willmott, H.B.
Food preparation, eating, and drinking became increasingly complex and engaging activities during the Middle Ages, and the properties of food and material culture were actively exploited to stimulate the senses of sight, smell, taste, and even touch. The subjects of medieval cooking, dining, and drinking have received considerable historical attention in recent years, yet the material culture associated with these activities has largely been overlooked, beyond inclusion in specialist reports. This chapter reviews the evidence for these consumptive practices, combining historical documentation, excavated artefacts, and other archaeological sources of evidence, to provide an overview of what was arguably the most important aspect of medieval life at all levels of society.

The seeds of commerce: A network analysis-based approach to the Romano-British transport system
Orengo, H.
Livarda, A.
Communication routes are an important subject in the study of the human past. They allowed interactions between communities and the dispersal of goods and ideas. Their study, therefore, can shed light on the way in which communities inhabited the landscape, related to each other and were affected by macro-regional trends. Many methods, such as archaeomorphological analysis and Least Cost Route modelling (LCR), have been devised and are routinely employed for the reconstruction of ancient routes. Their analysis in terms of communication, trade or historical significance, however, has usually been left unexplored. This is probably due to the connected nature of routes, which form communication networks: these are shaped by interconnected nodes and extend over territories surpassing the regional scale in such a way that even a change in a single node or link can affect the whole network. Consequently, the partial reconstruction of communication networks provided by the aforementioned methods does not usually allow a holistic analysis. In this paper the relatively well understood British Roman road network is employed to explore the analytical possibilities offered by a combination of Social Network Analysis, Spatial Network Analysis and spatial interpolation-based distribution analysis. The British road network has been reconstructed using published data but also a variation of LCR in which cost surfaces are derived from cultural data obtained from large-scale cultural inventories. The distribution of introduced food plants during the Roman period serve as an excellent proxy for the study of trade/commerce along the network and its historical consequences. This multi-period archaeobotanical dataset present some evident advantages to other types of material remains: archaeobotanical remains are not reused as, for example, amphorae and, accordingly, they reflect a distribution pattern based on consumption or commerce. Some of them are imported (as they cannot be produced locally) and, consequently, their distribution would be applied through usage of the main routes. The results suggest a continuous inflow of exotics but highlight their changing transport routes, their differential access and the particular weight of certain nodal sites in the development of this commerce with direct impact on urbanisation and the overall economy of Britannia. The Roman road network acted as a major factor in the distribution of sites, their political and economic importance and their permanence or disappearance, as global economic trends changed over time.

Open source GIS and Geospatial Software in Archaeology: Towards their Integration into Everyday Archaeological Practice
Orengo, H.A.
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and related geospatial software have been increasingly employed in archaeological research and practice during the last twenty years. They have transcended their initial use in territory studies to become part of more theoretically conscious landscape and on-site focused analyses and nowadays are routinely used in most archaeological projects. GIS analysts, rather than using a single piece of software, employ combinations of them according to their knowledge, the specific needs of the project and the availability of software. However, most professional archaeologists using GIS tend to use proprietary software due to several reasons: its assumed ease of use, their wider availability in universities and research centres, their compatibility with mainstream proprietary operating systems (also standard in public institutions), the existence of courses, books, and seminars on the use of these packages and/or the provision of technical support. While some of these reasons are still valid, during the last years open source GIS software has become more accessible, secure and compatible and many efforts have been directed towards the provision of adequate tutorials, courses and “help” files, resulting in their increased use in archaeological applications. In this paper it is argued that GIS open source software offers, not just a valid but, in some cases, a better alternative to the use of proprietary packages. After a brief overview of the archaeological use and applicability of GIS and other geospatial software, different open source packages are presented and their characteristics outlined and compared to those of widely employed proprietary software. It is concluded that the implementation of non-proprietary geospatial software can cover most of the needs of both professional archaeologists and researchers reducing costs without compromising in strength, security, ease of use and training potential, traditionally attributed to most commercial software.

“Nor ever lightning char thy grain”1: establishing archaeologically relevant charring conditions and their effect on glume wheat grain morphology
Charles, M.
Forster, E.
Wallace, M.
Jones, G.
Charring is the most ubiquitous form of preservation of plant material on archaeological sites, occurring wherever people use heat. The usefulness of preserved seeds for a range of analytical techniques is dependent on the conditions under which they were heated. In this study, we investigate the effect of experimental heating on two types of glume wheat grain (einkorn and emmer) under a range of conditions, with the intention of establishing the likely parameters for the generation of virtually undamaged, undistorted charred cereal grain on archaeological sites. The results show that grain morphology is very sensitive to the charring conditions, especially temperature, and that well preserved grains with little distortion are produced at relatively low temperatures (220–240°C). The implications of these findings for the study of grain morphology, biomolecules and chemical composition are assessed.

Ceramic production and distribution in North-East Italy: Study of a possible trade network between Friuli Venezia Giulia and Veneto regions during the final Bronze Age and early Iron Age through analysis of peculiar "flared rim and flat lip" pottery
Tenconi, M.
Maritan, L.
Leonardi, G.
Prosdocimi, B.
Mazzoli, C.
A particular type of pottery characterised by flaring rims and flat lips (FRFL ware) was widespread across the Friuli Venezia Giulia region in North-East Italy between the late Bronze Age and early Iron Age. A few of these jars have also been found occasionally in sites in the neighbouring Veneto region. Combined petrographic and chemical analyses were carried out on several shards from three settlements in the Veneto region, Concordia Sagittaria, Padova and Castion d'Erbè, in order to distinguish between local and imported varieties. Petrographic analysis revealed that local products and suspected imported artefacts of this type of pottery are compositionally different. The minero-petrographic composition of the FRFL potsherds is also uniform. Specifically, the presence of carbonate fragments with growing and saw teeth structures, showing alternation of growing white and dark-brown laminae, indicates the use of a similar temper, perhaps composed of concretions or speleothems. In addition, comparisons with a few shards from Friuli Venezia Giulia sites show considerable similarities. This evidence, together with the great diffusion and abundance of FRFL in Friuli Venezia Giulia, indicate that this ware originated from this region and was transported to the nearby Veneto. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.

In the footsteps of the Vikings: children and cultural change
Hadley, D.M.
This paper explores children’s experiences of migration during the Viking Age in the British Isles, drawing on the evidence from written sources, the funerary record, material culture used by children, and new insights from scientific evidence, principally stable isotope data. There is no doubt that children played an important role during the Viking Age in the processes of migration and settlement, and studies of recent migrations by anthropologists and sociologists offer some potentially useful analogies for our understanding of Viking-Age child migrants, highlighting the capacity of children to embrace the opportunities offered by migration. Children can be shown to act as mediators of cultural interaction and assimilation, and may prove better at adapting to language change and creating new networks of acquaintances than adults. By drawing on the insights to be gleaned from analysis of better-understood migrations we can have the confidence to interrogate our Viking-Age evidence afresh, and in turn ask fundamental questions about the broad social processes that are central to the scholarly literature on migration − including acculturation, ethnogenesis and conversion − all of which are routinely discussed purely with reference to adults. In seeking to render children as agents of past social change we can hope to develop more nuanced narratives of migration.

Manure: valued by farmers, undervalued by zooarchaeologists
Broderick, L.
Wallace, M.
Manure is a crucially important animal product in many mixed and sustainable agricultural production systems but, despite this, it is frequently overlooked by zooarchaeologists who instead tend to focus on more widely recognised contributions of domestic livestock to human subsistence. The case is made here for the consideration of this secondary product in zooarchaeological palaeoeconomic interpretations through the presentation of an ethnographic case-study from work carried out in Ethiopia in 2008. Discussion then focuses on a review of the ways in which manuring practices may be identified in the archaeological record and the importance of full integration of research through the collaboration of different specialists involved in a research project.

This paper focuses on the site of San Vincenzo, Stromboli, Italy, and the use of the portable X-Ray Fluorescence analyser (p-XRF) in the field, as a fast and efficient means of geochemical data collection and processing, without the need to remove a sample. The purpose of the exercise is to aid the archaeological enquiry and to attempt to tie archaeological deposits and their chronology with the natural bedrock (i. e. scoriae and lapilli). We conclude that throughout the Bronze Age phase of the settlement the chemical make-up of the archaeological deposits is drawn largely from the lapilli-rich deposits which were formed after the end of the Neostromboli period, punctuated with those drawn from the scoriaceous lava that preceded the lapilli phase at the end of the same period. On the other hand, the post-BA deposits are geochemically different, pointing to new eruptive events. Our on-going work aims to systematically assess and compare the information that derives from each of the different disciplines involved – archaeology, geology, geochemistry and volcanology – in an attempt to reveal site formation processes and the anthropogenic activities within.

Out of sound, out of mind: noise control in early nineteenth-century lunatic asylums in England and Ireland
Fennelly, K.L.
This article examines the rhetoric and design principles invested in public lunatic asylum architecture in the early nineteenth century. Using case studies from England and Ireland, this article will focus on the creation of a sensory environment conducive to the reform of these institutions, and how this was applied – intentionally or otherwise – in the built environment. Objections to door locks and the noise made by footsteps testify to the weight placed on the importance of the patient’s sensory well-being. It will be argued these initial features of sound control were bound up in a paternalistic, yet moral, approach to insanity and reform, with varying degrees of success.

The Winter Camp of the Viking Great Army, AD 872–3, Torksey, Lincolnshire

This paper presents the results of a multidisciplinary project that has revealed the location, extent
and character of the winter camp of the Viking Great Army at Torksey, Lincolnshire, of AD 872–3.
The camp lay within a naturally defended area of higher ground, partially surrounded by marshes
and bordered by the River Trent on its western side. It is considerably larger than the Viking camp of
873–4 previously excavated at Repton, Derbyshire, and lacks the earthwork defences identified
there. Several thousand individuals overwintered in the camp, including warriors, craftworkers and
merchants. An exceptionally large and rich metalwork assemblage was deposited during the Great
Army’s overwintering, and metal processing and trading was undertaken. There is no evidence for a
pre-existing Anglo-Saxon trading site here; the site appears to have been chosen for its strategic
location and its access to resources. In the wake of the overwintering, Torksey developed as an
important Anglo-Saxon borough with a major wheel-thrown pottery industry and multiple churches
and cemeteries. The Torksey evidence allows for a radical reappraisal of the character of Viking
winter camps, and the legacy of the Viking Great Army for Anglo-Saxon England.

Pottery Production in Anglo-Scandinavian Torksey (Lincolnshire): reconstructing and contextualising the chaîne opératoire.
Perry, G.
Ninth-century England witnessed a revolution in pottery production. For the first time since the Roman period, pottery was wheel-thrown and produced on a near industrial scale. Research into this ceramic revolution has focused on chronology and, in particular, whether the technology was introduced before Scandinavian settlement. Yet, little attention has been paid to technological choices made by the potters or how these choices were influenced by wider societal changes. This paper takes a holistic approach to production, employing a range of analytical techniques to reveal the production sequence followed by potters working at one of the new industries – Torksey (Lincolnshire). With new insights into raw material choices, processing procedures, vessel forming practices and firing regimes, the paper challenges long-standing assumptions about manufacturing practice and the spread of the potters’ wheel. Opening a window into the mind of the potter, this article offers a greater understanding of the mechanisms that facilitated the diffusion and ultimate success of this new technology.

Poverty and Illness in the 'Old Countries': archaeological approaches to historical medical institutions in the British Isles.
Fennelly, K.L.
Newman, C.
Since the 1990s, archaeological approaches to institutions designed for public health, benefit, and welfare have been developed. Key publications have raised the profile of ‘institutional’ archaeology in North America and Australia, while archaeology-based, and built-environment focused, research in the British Isles has gained momentum. These buildings continue to be grouped under the category of ‘institutional’ architecture, alongside prisons and institutions for confinement, but in light of recent scholarship, homogenisation of institutional buildings is no longer so useful. Focusing on the British Isles, this paper outlines archaeological methodologies that set British and Irish approaches within their unique context, highlighting the distinctiveness of different building types. Focusing on two institutional building types, the asylum and the hospital, the significant difference between these building types and those frequently considered analogous becomes apparent.

Given the importance of Africa to studies of human origins and disease susceptibility, detailed characterization of African genetic diversity is needed. The African Genome Variation Project provides a resource with which to design, implement and interpret genomic studies in sub-Saharan Africa and worldwide. The African Genome Variation Project represents dense genotypes from 1,481 individuals and whole-genome sequences from 320 individuals across sub-Saharan Africa. Using this resource, we find novel evidence of complex, regionally distinct hunter-gatherer and Eurasian admixture across sub-Saharan Africa. We identify new loci under selection, including loci related to malaria susceptibility and hypertension. We show that modern imputation panels (sets of reference genotypes from which unobserved or missing genotypes in study sets can be inferred) can identify association signals at highly differentiated loci across populations in sub-Saharan Africa. Using whole-genome sequencing, we demonstrate further improvements in imputation accuracy, strengthening the case for large-scale sequencing efforts of diverse African haplotypes. Finally, we present an efficient genotype array design capturing common genetic variation in Africa.

Deposizioni rituali di rospi in una sepoltura enotria della prima Età del Ferro
Corbino, C.A.
The female burial number 199 of Guardia Perticara (Potenza-Italy) is dated back to the first decades of the 8th century BC. The rich grave goods include a small hand-shaping amphora-kantharos- filled up with several faunal remains. The sample is composed of 245 specimens, most complete. The 230 identified specimens include toad, lizard and shrew: Bufo viridis, Bufo bufo, Bufo sp., Podarcis sp. and Sorex gr. araneus. Toads represent 99% of the sample (227 specimens). Podarcis sp. and Sorex gr. araneus are sporadic. Although in other archaeological contexts these taxa are usually considered as intrusive, the high numbers from the burial of Guardia Perticara indicate ritual practices. Worth of mention is the therapeutic use of toads. In fact Pliny quotes them as a remedy to several ills in the Roman period.

© 2015 Elsevier Ltd and INQUA.The starting point of this paper is that the Movius Line is no longer an appropriate way of studying the Early Palaeolithic of East and Southeast Asia, and should be disregarded. Instead, it is argued that the Early Palaeolithic of East and Southeast Asia needs to be seen as comparable to that in the rest of Eurasia, rather than the product of an isolated backwater. Contra Movius, East Asia was not isolated throughout the entire Early and Middle Pleistocene, but open to immigration during interglacials, as is indicated by its fossil hominin record. As in Europe and Southwest Asia, both bifacial and non-biface assemblages are present in China and Korea, thus indicating the presence of an Acheulean component, although the lack of agreement over how the Acheulean should be defined creates difficulties in establishing its extent in Southeast Asia. Regarding non-biface assemblages, Zhoukoudian was an unfortunate choice of an East Asian site that lacked bifaces, as bifaces are also rare or absent in a number of caves in Southwest Asia and Europe. Additionally, the absence of bifaces in some sites is not convincingly demonstrated because of the small size of the lithic assemblage. Finally, the simple flake industries in Southeast Asia are likely contemporary with Upper Pleistocene, Middle Palaeolithic and microlithic assemblages in India rather than with Middle Pleistocene, Acheulean assemblages, as proposed by Movius.

Excavations at the Priory of St. Mary Magdalene of Lund, Monk Bretton
Willmott, H.B.
Townend, P.
Excavations undertaken in 2010 at Monk Bretton Priory, South Yorkshire represent the first substantive investigation of the monastery since its initial clearance in the 1920s and 1950s, and the only campaign of works to be fully recorded and published. Trenches were located to the west and north of the monastic church to reveal features thought to relate the occupation of the site by the Blithman and Talbot families in the mid to late sixteenth century. Evidence for the post-Dissolution remodelling of earlier medieval structures was encountered, as was a rich assemblage of finds belonging to all periods of occupation. Although relatively small in scale, the excavations provide an interesting insight into how the new owners sought to repurpose the religious house to secular use.

Size and shape of Greek Late Neolithic livestock suggest the existence of multiple and distinctive animal husbandry cultures
Kazantzis, G.
Albarella, U.
In this paper we discuss domestic livestock morphometric data from the Late
Neolithic Greek regions of Macedonia and Thessaly. Six sites are considered,
including a substantial and previously unpublished dataset from Promachon
(Macedonia). The analysis of the size and shape of the animals indicates great
variation between sites and regions, suggestive of the co-existence of multiple styles
of husbandry. The site of Sitagroi stands out for its large and robust cattle and sheep,
probably a consequence of its environmental setting, as well as the dynamism of its
cultural and economic connections. In Thessaly, despite the existence of inter-site
connections documented through the material culture, different sites maintained their
independence in terms of husbandry choices.

The Role of Metallurgy in Transforming Global Forests.
Iles, L.
Forest degradation—both past and present—has been a significant research focus of many disciplines in recent decades, and it is an area in which the multidisciplinarity and long-term perspectives of archaeological endeavour has the potential to make a particularly valuable contribution. One of the past craft activities that has long been linked to significant socio-economic change and associated accelerations in forest cover reduction and environmental decline is the intensification of early iron production—an industry reliant on the consumption of charcoal as fuel for much of its history. However, the impact of iron production on the transformation of woodlands is dependent on a suite of interrelated factors—climatic, ecological, technological and cultural—only some of which have so far been adequately scrutinised. This paper explores the theoretical context that links iron production with deforestation in academic and popular cultures, examining the role that archaeology can play in investigating this association, before reviewing recent methodological approaches that aim to interrogate the relationship between metallurgy and the environment in archaeological settings.

Making metals in East Africa and beyond: archaeometallurgy in Azania, 1966-2015
Iles, L.E.
Lyaya, E.
Over the course of the last 50 years, the field of archaeometallurgy has grown dramatically, becoming firmly established within the realm of archaeological science. The archaeology and ethnography of African metallurgy has made a major contribution to this field, providing valuable information on the impressive range of raw materials and techniques that past metal producers and metalworkers used, as well as providing important insights into the socio-cultural settings that these technologies operated within. This paper summarises the role that Azania played in communicating some of this research, and charts the development of African archaeometallurgy through Azania’s pages.

Iron production in second millennium AD pastoralist contexts on the Laikipia Plateau, Kenya
Iles, L.
Lane, P.
Iron has played an important role within East African pastoralist societies for many hundreds of years, yet the means by which iron was produced or obtained by these communities has not been thoroughly documented. The bulk of our understanding is presently based on a limited number of ethnographic and artefact studies, which have tended to focus on the functional and symbolic nature of iron objects themselves. We argue that the research presented here provides the first opportunity to add to this narrow knowledge base by reconstructing the iron production technologies of pastoralist communities in Laikipia, Kenya, using an archaeometallurgical approach. Seven furnaces and one iron-production refuse area were excavated at two discrete workshop sites in Laikipia, central Kenya, that date to the second half of the second millennium AD. The recovered archaeometallurgical materials were analysed using optical microscopy, SEM-EDS and ED-XRF. These techniques revealed that the smelting technologies in question were complex and sophisticated and that they utilised titania-rich black sands and lime-rich charcoal. Whereas the technical approach and raw materials were found to be similar at both sites studied, there was striking stylistic variation in furnace design for no apparent functional reason, which might suggest nuanced differences in the socio-cultural affiliations of the smelters who worked at these sites. This paper explores some of the possible reasons for these differences. In particular, by integrating archaeological data with existing ethnographic and ethnohistoric research from the region, we discuss the technological choices of the smelters and what this might tell us about their identities, as well as considering how future research should best be targeted in order to develop a greater understanding of the organisation of production within pastoralist central Kenya.

The exploitation of manganese-rich ‘ore’ to smelt iron in Mwenge, western Uganda, from the mid second millennium AD
Iles, L.
By the later second millennium AD, iron production was a key economic industry in western Uganda, and Mwenge was a prominent centre of production, highly regarded for the quality of the iron it produced. Between 2007 and 2011, excavation and analysis of iron production remains from six smelting sites in Mwenge enabled the reconstruction of local smelting technologies in operation there from the fourteenth century AD onwards. Chemical and microstructural analysis of approximately 100 samples revealed that slag from some of these sites is typically characterised by a bulk chemistry high in manganese oxide (up to 12 wt%) and knebelitic olivines. Slag samples from the remainder of the sites contain low levels of manganese oxide (below 4 wt%) and fayalitic olivines. The majority of the slag samples also contain notable levels of phosphorous (1–2 wt%).
This sample set provided an opportunity to discuss the impacts of manganese and phosphorous on the smelting systems in operation in Mwenge. Principal component analysis suggests that smelters in this region were deliberately combining an iron ore with a separate manganese-rich flux, rather than using a naturally manganiferous iron ore. This use of two ‘ores’ has parallels with ethnographic literature from the region, which link the use of a second ore to the production of a harder metal. It is believed that this is the first analytically documented example of the use of a manganese-rich flux in sub-Saharan Africa. In the absence of analyses of surviving iron artefacts, the data also provides an opportunity to consider the quality of the iron metal that would have been produced.

Ghosts of Sorrow, Sin and Crime: Dark Tourism and Convict Heritage in Van Diemen’s Land, Australia.
Casella, E.
Fennelly, K.L.
Established as a British imperial penal colony, Van Diemen’s Land received approximately 75,000 convicts before cessation of convict transportation in 1853. A vast network of penal stations and institutions were created to accommodate, employ, administer, and discipline these exiled felons. Popular interpretations of Australia’s convict past highlight dynamics of shame, avoidance and active obliteration that characterized Australia’s relationship to its recent convict past. Yet, closer examination of these colonial institutions suggests a far more ambivalent relationship with this ‘dark heritage’, evidenced by continuous tourism and visitation to these places of pain and shame from the mid-19th century to the present day.

Dawn of the amphora: the emergence of maritime transport jars in the Early Bronze Age Aegean
Day, P.M.
Wilson, D.E.
In the early part of the Early Bronze (EB) II period, the Aegean world sees the appearance of
the collared jar, the first ceramic Maritime Transport Container (MTC) of the region. Based
on a study and scientific analyses of hundreds of EB II transport jars, focusing on the harbour
towns of Poros-Katsambas on Crete, Akrotiri on Thera and Ayia Irini on Kea, we identify some
of the key production areas in both the Cyclades (Kea, Siphnos, Melos, Naxos, Thera) and
on mainland Greece (Attica). In addition to surveying the spatial and temporal distribution
of these EB II jar types at a number of key Aegean coastal sites, we consider the high value
liquid commodity being transported and exchanged in these jars, and suggest wine as a likely
candidate. We argue that the emergence of the transport jar in EB II should be viewed as part
of the same phenomenon as the outburst of pouring and drinking vessels in contemporary
Aegean contexts, all evidence for new social practices of drinking and feasting in the private
and public spheres.

Transport stirrup jars in Late Mycenaean Tiryns: Maritime Transport Containers and commodity movement in political context
Day, P.M.
Kardamaki, E.
Tenconi, M.
Maran, J.
Papadimitriou, A.
Transport jars from the Mycenaean citadel of Tiryns, a coastal centre in the Bronze Age, were analysed in a macroscopic and petrographic study. Over 400 vessels and vessel fragments, mostly Transport Stirrup Jars (TSJs) and Canaanite jars, were recorded; around a quarter of them were selected for analysis. The vessels derive from both the upper and lower citadel, with a few from the lower town. Their chronological span ranges from Late Helladic (LH) IIIB1 to LH IIIC Developed (ca 1300–1070 BC) but the bulk of the material dates to LH IIIB2 (ca 1200 BC), and comes from dumps derived from the final destruction of the palace. Several sources are suggested for the TSJs, some of which are inscribed with Linear B: Kythera, the eastern Aegean (perhaps Kos), Kontopigado-Alimos in Attica, Corinth and several other mainland sources, as yet unidentified. It is suggested that a large group of TSJs with shape and decoration derived from central Cretan types were produced in the vicinity of the Argive Plain. Two thirds of the TSJs, however, come from Crete. With the exception of one from the Vrokastro area of east Crete, these are evenly derived from the Chania plain and the western edge of the Mesara plain in central Crete, where the Minoan centres of Kommos, Phaistos and Ayia Triada are located. We discuss the implications of all this for our understanding of the economy and society of Crete after the destruction of the palace of Knossos, and for the relationship between Crete and the Mycenaean palatial centres in the Argolid.

Life in the weather-world: examining an eighteenth-century ‘ecological perspective’
Pillatt, T
Within archaeology, discussions on climate are usually framed in the broad scale and long term, but by using diaries as rich sources on local environmental and landscape history, it is possible to develop archaeological insights into climate predicated on the everyday human experience of living in the landscape. This article presents a case study of two Quaker diarists, who farmed on the edge of the Lake District in north-west England during the eighteenth century. One of these diarists, Elihu Robinson, had a world view that linked social, natural and religious spheres of action with his compassionate and deeply felt faith. Arguably, this is an example of a Quaker ‘ecological perspective’ which contributed to an eighteenth-century environmental ethic. By thinking in terms of Tim Ingold’s weather-world, it is possible to see how this perspective emerged in relation to the diarists’ interactions with weather and landscape.

Stories in a Beespoon: Exploring Future Folklore through Design
Maxwell, D.
Edwards, L.
Pillatt, T.
Downing, N.
This paper explores the role and potential for design as process, artefact and experience to help frame and address societal problems. We consider this through examining a future folklore dialogical object, designed to stimulate conversation and question assumptions. Beekeeping is a particularly rich context with which to adopt this methodological approach, given the significance of global threats to insect pollination aligned with beekeeping’s extensive cultural heritage. By drawing on past narratives and contemporary knowledge and practices, the Beespoon, a small copper spoon representing the amount of honey a single bee can make, was codesigned as an experience that actively engaged people with concepts of work, value and pollination. Our design process oscillated across past, present and future stories – the Beespoon as future folklore artefact and experience reflects this complexity, operating across time and value systems to provide new ways to think about how we perceive and understand bees.

Socio-economic status and religious identity in medieval Iberia: The zooarchaeological evidence
Grau-Sologestoa, I.
This paper synthesises faunal data from medieval archaeological sites in the Iberian Peninsula, aiming to identify zooarchaeological evidence that can improve our understanding of socio-economic status and cultural identities. The main zooarchaeological indicators for social differentiation are explored: food procurement and cuisine (taking into account different types of sites – high status, urban and rural), and different socio-political systems (Islamic and Christian regions), from a diachronic perspective.

Urban medieval and post-medieval zooarchaeology in the Basque Country: Meat supply and consumption
Grau-Sologestoa, I.
Albarella, U.
Quirós Castillo, J.A.
This paper examines the zooarchaeological evidence from six Basque towns (Bilbao, Vitoria-Gasteiz,
SalvatierraeAgurain, Balmaseda, Orduna and Durango), and compares it with historical written sour- ~
ces. The key aims are a better understanding of urban diet, the provisioning of meat to towns, and the
relationship between town and country, in the 12the18th centuries. Taxonomic frequencies, kill-off
patterns, butchery practices and biometrical data are examined in a diachronic perspective. The results
reveal that, although there are some signs of economic specialization, patterns of urban consumption
remained fairly stable. It is suggested that the strict taxation and legislation for meat supply
and the ownership of livestock by urban elites meant that urban demand for meat was too tightly
regulated to bring about substantial changes in the mechanisms of livestock breeding and supply. The
economic system appears to have mainly been geared towards the socio-economic needs of the countryside,
despite the central role of some of the Basque towns in international trade.

Re-used Roman rubbish: a thousand years of recycling glass
Paynter, S.
Jackson, C.M.
The suitability of glass for re-melting and recycling was widely exploited in the past. This paper reviews the evidence, particularly for the 1st millennium AD, using examples from Western Europe. For much of this period glass was produced on a large-scale at a relatively small number of specialised glassmaking sites, which supplied numerous dispersed workshops where glass was modified and shaped. This is only part of the picture however, because the glassmakers, glassworkers and consumers were also linked by a complex, interdependent cycle of supply, use, discard, salvage and re-use, making recycling an essential part of interpreting archaeological glass.

Four Blue Beads from Gardom's Edge
Jackson, C.M.
Four blue glass beads from the prehistoric site of Gardom’s Edge, in the upland area of the Peak District in Britain, were analyzed to determine their composition, date, and origin. The simple annular beads were of unknown date, although they were recovered from contexts that were either Bronze Age or Iron Age in date. The compositions of the beads are relatively unusual. They were manufactured with mineral alkalis, but they contained extremely low concentrations of impurities and were colored with copper. Comparison with other recently analyzed glasses shows (rare) parallels in Europe of Iron Age date, but not in the eastern Mediterranean (Egypt, Near East), which suggests an origin somewhere in the west. This is an extraordinary find in a marginal area, which suggests far-reaching trade and exchange networks.

‘The sacred places of the immortal ones’ : ancient Greek and Roman sacred groves
Carroll, P.M.
Many cultures of the ancient Mediterranean world acknowledged the close relationship between the divine world and the natural environment, with trees and vegetation being interpreted as a sign of God-given life. The types of evidence available for the study of Greek and Roman sacred groves are varied. There is also the pictorial evidence. This chapter examines these main strands of evidence for sacred groves in Classical antiquity in depth in an attempt to understand their function, use, location, and appearance. The antiquity of the sacred grove is particularly highlighted by the apparent age and size of the plane tree. Temples and sacred groves occasionally are depicted also on Roman coins, particularly those from various places in the Greek-speaking Eastern Empire. Ceramic plant pots were inserted in the ground parallel to and in front of all three porticoes, with the altar in the centre of the courtyard.

Beebots-a-lula, Where's My Honey?: Design Fictions and Beekeeping
Edwards, L.
Maxwell, D.
Pillatt, T.
Downing, N.
The honey bee is a powerful cultural motif that remains an important symbol for the future. Their role as pollinators, alongside a myriad of other species, is critical to the continued diets of humankind. This Future Scenario explores a possible near future where human intervention poses new risks to their survival. Drawing on folklore and contemporary beekeeping practices, Mr Shore's Downfall tells a tale of discovery and loss as a young beekeeper is introduced to the world of honey bees. Three imagined artefacts are revealed through the story and discussed with consideration of their cultural context, desirability and relation to socio-economic factors. Themes from Mr Shore's Downfall are examined, and the potential of writing practice for design fiction practitioners is considered.

A multi-isotope investigation of diet and subsistence amongst island and mainland populations from early medieval western Britain
Hemer, K.A.
Lamb, A.L.
Chenery, C.A.
Evans, J.A.
Objectives: This is the first investigation of dietary practices amongst multiple early medieval populations (AD 500–1000) from Wales and the Isle of Man using carbon, nitrogen, and sulphur isotope analysis. The analysis will illuminate similarities or differences between the diets and subsistence strategies of populations occupying different geographical regions, specifically those living in marginal coastal regions in comparison to inland populations well-connected to ecclesiastical centres and high-status settlements.
Materials and Methods: One hundred and two human skeletons were sampled for carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis, and 69 human skeletons were sampled for sulphur isotope analysis from nine cemetery sites from western Britain (Isle of Man = 3, southwest Wales = 4, southeast Wales = 2). Thirteen faunal skeletons from St Patrick's Chapel (southwest Wales) were sampled for carbon, nitrogen, and sulphur isotope analysis.
Results: Human δ13C values range from −19.4‰ to −21.2‰ (δ13C mean=−20.4 ±0.4‰, 1σ, n = 86), and δ15N values range from 9.1‰ to 13.8‰ (δ15N mean = 10.8 ± 0.9‰, 1σ, n = 86). δ34S values range from 1.2‰ to 18.4‰ (δ34S mean = 11.6 ± 4.5‰, 1σ, n = 66). Significant differences were noted between the mean δ13C, δ15N and δ34S values according to geographic region: Isle of Man (δ13C = −20.7 ± 0.4‰, δ15N = 11.4 ±0.6‰, n = 13/86; δ34S mean = 17.1 ±0.6, n = 4/66), southwest Wales (δ13C = −20.5 ± 0.4‰, δ15N = 11.0 ±1‰, n = 32/86; δ34S = 16.1 ± 2.1, n = 21/66), and southeast Wales (δ13C =−20.3 ±0.4‰, δ15N = 10.4 ±0.7‰, n = 41/86; δ34S= 8.8 ±3‰, n = 41/66). Faunal δ13C values range from −23.1‰ to −21.2‰ (δ13C mean= −22.1 ±0.5‰, 1σ, n = 13), and δ15N values range from 6.3‰ to 9.8‰ (δ15N mean = 7.3 ± 1.1‰, 1σ, n = 13). δ34S values range from 4.7‰ to 18.4‰ (δ34S mean= 16.3 ± 3.6‰, 1σ, n = 13).
Conclusions: The data reveal a reliance on terrestrial protein, however differences are observed between the resource consumption of populations from southwest Wales and the Isle of Man in comparison to the populations from southeast Wales. Populations from the west coast have a marine sulphur signature that reflects their coastal proximity and may also include a reliance on seaweed as a fertiliser/food source. Populations in the southeast were connected to ecclesiastical centres and high-status settlements and had access to inland-grown produce. The data add support to the suggestion that δ34S can be used as a mobility indicator.

The assemblage from Greenwich High Road has interesting implications for our
understanding of 18th and early 19th century tanneries and also of the use of bones as building
material. The study of the age at death of the animals revealed that the horncores are mostly from
fully adult individuals, probably culled draught animals. This hypothesis is supported by
biometrical analysis. The comparison of the Greenwich horncores with modern data and
archaeological evidence suggests that the Greenwich assemblage is predominantly composed of
oxen. The horncores were used to line a drain on the site and are likely to represent waste
material resulting from the activities that took place in the nearby tannery. Skins and horns were
removed for craft purposes while the bony cores, with no economic value, were simply used as
cheap and ready material to help the construction of the drain.

Rural tree populations in England: historic character and future planting policy
Barnes, G.
Pillatt, T.
Williamson, T.
Historians often bring a different perspective to ideas of landscape ecology. Here the authors show how the dominance of just three trees in the English farmed landscape is not a result of ‘natural processes’, but a deliberate economic choice made over centuries.

The role of chicken in the medieval food system: evidence from Central Italy
Corbino, C.A.
Minniti, C.
Mazzorin, J.D.G.
Albarella, U.
Although domestic fowl is often found at Italian archaeological sites at least from the 6th century BC onwards, it becomes widespread only in the Roman period. Throughout the Middle Ages, chicken played an important role in the Italian food economy as attested by the substantial number of bones of this bird recovered from archaeological contexts. This research is focused on the identification of trends in chicken exploitation that can be linked to production or consumption. The analysis of bone assemblages shows an increase in the frequency of chickens from the 13th century onwards. In urban contexts, which reflect consumption more than production, anatomical parts with a higher meat value are more frequent. Chickens were probably bred at rural sites, as attested by age and sex evidence.
From the 9th century onwards, the average size of domestic fowl becomes smaller, probably due to specific market requirements.

Glassmaking using natron from el-Barnugi (Egypt); Pliny and the Roman glass industry
Jackson, C.M.
Paynter, S.
Nenna, M-D.
Degryse, P.
Pliny the Elder describes the discovery of a process for making natron glass, which was widely used for much of the first millennium bc and ad. His account of glassmaking with natron has since been corroborated by analyses of archaeological glass and the discovery of large-scale glass production sites where natron glass was made and then exported. Analyses of Egyptian natron have shown it to be a complex mixture of different sodium compounds, and previous experiments to make glass with Egyptian natron have been unsuccessful. Here, natron from el-Barnugi in the Egyptian Nile delta, a site which also probably supplied Roman glassmakers, is used to produce glass. The experiments show that high-quality glass, free of unreacted batch or bubbles, could have been produced from natron in its unprocessed form in a single stage, that larger quantities of natron would be required than has previously been anticipated, that the presence of different sodium-containing compounds in the deposit aided melting, and that negligible waste is produced. The implications for the identification of glass production sites, for the organisation of trade and for the supply of natron within and outside Egypt are discussed in the light of Pliny’s accounts

From Traditional Farming in Morocco to Early Urban Agroecology in Northern Mesopotamia: Combining Present-day Arable Weed Surveys and Crop Isotope Analysis to Reconstruct Past Agrosystems in (Semi-)arid Regions

Published by Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis GroupWe integrate functional weed ecology with crop stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis to assess their combined potential for inferring arable land management practices in (semi-)arid regions from archaeobotanical assemblages. Weed and GIS survey of 60 cereal and pulse fields in Morocco are combined with crop sampling for stable isotope analysis to frame assessment of agricultural labour intensity in terms of manuring, irrigation, tillage and hand-weeding. Under low management intensity weed variation primarily reflects geographical differences, whereas under high management intensity fields in disparate regions have similar weed flora. Manured and irrigated oasis barley fields are clearly discriminated from less intensively manured rain-fed barley terraces in southern Morocco; when fields in northern and southern Morocco are considered together, climatic differences are superimposed on the agronomic intensity gradient. Barley δ13C and δ15N values clearly distinguish among the Moroccan regimes. An integrated approach combines crop isotope values with weed ecological discrimination of low- and high-intensity regimes across multiple studies (in southern Morocco and southern Europe). Analysis of archaeobotanical samples from EBA Tell Brak, Syria suggests that this early city was sustained through extensive (low-intensity, large-scale) cereal farming.

Age and season of pig slaughter at Late Neolithic Durrington Walls (Wiltshire, UK) as detected through a new system for recording tooth wear
Wright, E.
Viner-Daniels, S.
Pearson, M. P.
Albarella, U.
The recording of tooth wear is essential for the investigation of age in zooarchaeological assemblages, but most tooth wear methodologies apply only to mandibular teeth, thereby neglecting potentially valuable maxillary data. The large sample of pig maxillary jaws and teeth recovered at Durrington Walls has provided the opportunity to design a new recording method for maxillary as well as mandibular jaws. Work on previously excavated animal bone material from Durrington Walls (Albarella and Payne, 2005) suggested the possibility of seasonal pig killing at the site, but the issue has not, until now, been explored in detail. This paper therefore has a dual purpose: to describe the new method for recording tooth wear on pig teeth; and to use the new information from both the mandibular and maxillary teeth to explore pig age at death and seasonality at Durrington Walls. The results provide evidence of differential deposition of pigs of different ages at Durrington Walls, with one midden context containing younger pigs brought to the site to provide meat for predominately winter-based feasting events, and other contexts containing remains of older pigs (mainly in their second year) deposited in both domestic and more public locales also predominantly in winter. The study highlights the usefulness of maxillary teeth for our understanding of past systems of pig exploitation as well as the desirability of recording their wear in animal bone assemblages.
