ARCHIVES VOLUMES 1-10 (1979-1988) INTRODUCTION

This index comprises the ODAS Newsletter and Volumes 1-10 of Archives.

My thanks go to Carol Springall, Michael Meekums and Hazel Shave for compiling this index. If you would like copies of any of these articles please contact Michael Mcekums.

For information the ODAS Newsletters were published from 1975-1978 and the indexing shows this. Regarding Archives, the following table gives the year in which each Volume was published:

Volume I published 1979 Volume 2 " 1980 Volume 3 " 1981 Volume 4 " 1982 Volume 5 " 1983 Volume 6 " 1984 Volume 7 II 1985 Volume 8 " 1986 Volume 9 " 1987 Volume 10 " ]988

When using the index please note the following points:

1. TIle section titles are for ease of reference. 2. "Fordcroft" and "" are sites at the same location. 3. "Crofton " is sometimes referred to as " Roman Villa" and "Villa Orpus''. To be consistent we have indexed it as "".
