The financial position of the Congress continues to be satis­ factory. The credit balance is £38 95. 6d. Thanks are again due to Mr. G. C. Druce, F.S.A., for auditing the accounts. It is with great regret that the Council records the death of Mr. George Clinch, who had for many years acted as Assistant Treasurer of the Congress and who had compiled the Archaeological Index in recent years. Mr. Clinch's death, which occurred very soon after the last Meeting of Congress, resulted in certain changes to which Congress is asked to give effect by formal ratification. Dr. Norman expressed to the Council his desire to resign the office of Hon. Treasurer ; the Council has accepted his resignation with regret, and recommends that Mr. Paley Baildon, F.S.A., be appointed Hon. Treasurer to succeed him. The work formerly done by Mr. Clinch is being carried on by Mr. A. E. Steel, who has given great help at a critical time in the affairs of the Congress. No Societies have resigned and no new ones have been affiliated during the year. The number of affiliated Societies is now 40. It is the desire of the Council to add to its numbers year by year until all the principal Archaeological Societies of the Kingdom are included. By adopting this policy the Congress will not only increase its material resources and output, but will also be able to prove itself of greater use to each individual Society. With this latter object in view, the Council proposes for the consideration of Congress a new method of publishing its Annual Reports. It is proposed in future to condense, if necessary, the printed report of the proceedings at the Congress, and to print in addition a summary account of " The Year's Work in Archaeology." This account will attempt to give a bird's-eye view of all important excavations and discoveries which have been made during the preceding calendar year, beginning with the year 1921. It will be bound up with the Report of the Earthworks Committee and will be sold to affiliated Societies at the lowest price com­ patible with the cost of production. It is hoped that this combined Report will prove interesting to individual members of Societies, and particularly to those workers who would like to know the latest archaeological news from all parts of the country.

  • The Halifax Citadel
    THE HALIFAX CITADEL National Historic Park Halifax, Nova Scotia Issued under the authority of the Honourable Arthur Laing, P.C., M.P., B.S.A., Minister of Northern Affairs and National Resources HALIFAX CITADEL NOVA SCOTIA THE HALIFAX CITADEL Halifax, Nova Scotia Halifax was founded in 1749 to provide a base for the British Navy and Army and a springboard for attack on the French at Louisbourg and Quebec, because the final contest between France and England for possession of the North American continent was clearly approaching. Citadel Hill was always the innermost keep and chief land defence of the Halifax Fortress. Four forts were built, at different periods, on its summit. The first was part of a wooden palisade around the young settlement, designed to protect the settlers from Indians. The second was built at the time of the American Revolution and was intended as a stronghold and base against the rebels. The third was built while Napoleon Bonaparte was trying to conquer the world, and this one was later repaired for the War of 1812 with the United States. Because of the latter war, Britain knew she must have a permanent fortress here as Atlantic base in time of peril, and so the fourth, the present one, was constructed. Not one of these forts was ever called upon to resist invasion. No shot was ever fired against them in anger. However, it is safe to say that they had served their purpose merely by existing. The First Citadel When the Honourable Edward Cornwallis arrived at Chebucto Harbour on June 21, 1749, accompanied by more than 2,500 settlers, one of his first thoughts was to secure the settlement from attacks by marauding Indians, ever ready to molest the British during periods of nominal peace between England and France.

  • Social Networks in the History of Archaeology. Placing Archaeology in Its Context
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Institutional Repository of the Freie Universität Berlin Amara Thornton Social Networks in the History of Archaeology. Placing Archaeology in its Context Summary This paper explores the value of social networks in the history of archaeology, combining them with biography and prosopography to produce a practical method for examining the development of the discipline, and an alternative to the traditional history of archaeology narrative. It presents broad categories for the interpretation and visualization of social net- works, illuminated by case studies focusing on linked political and archaeological networks in early British Mandate Palestine and Transjordan. Social networks are a tool for under- standing the historical context of archaeological work, and can be utilized to explore the role of men and women, politicians, soldiers, artists, architects, funders and others, in the excavation, interpretation, presentation and reception of archaeology. Keywords: Archaeology; social networks; biography; prosopography; history; British Mandate Palestine and Transjordan. Der Artikel untersucht die Bedeutung von sozialen Netzwerken in der Geschichte der Ar- chäologie. Im Rückgriff auf biographische und prosopographische Ansätze soll eine geeig- nete Methode zur Untersuchung der Entwicklung des Fachs herausgearbeitet werden und eine Alternative zu den traditionellen Erzählungen in der Archäologiegeschichte. Anhand einer Fallstudie über die miteinander verbundenen politischen und archäologischen Netz- werke in den frühen britischen Mandaten Palästina und Transjordanien werden allgemeine Kategorien für die Interpretation und Visualisierung von sozialen Netzwerken diskutiert. Die Analyse sozialer Netzwerke gibt Einblick in den historischen Kontext archäologischer Arbeit und erlaubt es, die Rollen von Männern und Frauen, Politikern, Soldaten, Künstlern, Architekten und Sponsoren bei der Ausgrabung, Interpretation, Präsentation und Rezepti- on von Archäologie zu untersuchen.

  • Fortification Renaissance: the Roman Origins of the Trace Italienne
    FORTIFICATION RENAISSANCE: THE ROMAN ORIGINS OF THE TRACE ITALIENNE Robert T. Vigus Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2013 APPROVED: Guy Chet, Committee Co-Chair Christopher Fuhrmann, Committee Co-Chair Walter Roberts, Committee Member Richard B. McCaslin, Chair of the Department of History Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Vigus, Robert T. Fortification Renaissance: The Roman Origins of the Trace Italienne. Master of Arts (History), May 2013, pp.71, 35 illustrations, bibliography, 67 titles. The Military Revolution thesis posited by Michael Roberts and expanded upon by Geoffrey Parker places the trace italienne style of fortification of the early modern period as something that is a novel creation, borne out of the minds of Renaissance geniuses. Research shows, however, that the key component of the trace italienne, the angled bastion, has its roots in Greek and Roman writing, and in extant constructions by Roman and Byzantine engineers. The angled bastion of the trace italienne was yet another aspect of the resurgent Greek and Roman culture characteristic of the Renaissance along with the traditions of medicine, mathematics, and science. The writings of the ancients were bolstered by physical examples located in important trading and pilgrimage routes. Furthermore, the geometric layout of the trace italienne stems from Ottoman fortifications that preceded it by at least two hundred years. The Renaissance geniuses combined ancient bastion designs with eastern geometry to match a burgeoning threat in the rising power of the siege cannon. Copyright 2013 by Robert T. Vigus ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without the assistance and encouragement of many people.

  • Cissbury Ring and Stump Bottom, West Sussex
    Hi there! Adele here and this is my West Sussex Weekends walk CISSBURY RING AND STUMP It’s a great 5 mile loop around Cissbury Ring, the largest hill fort in Sussex, near to the tiny village of Findon. The BOTTOM, WEST SUSSEX effort of getting to the top of Cissbury Ring is always worthwhile and on a clear, sunny day I’m rewarded with a changing vista in every direction. To read my full story visit www.west-sussex-weekends.com so I can tell you why I think you will love this walk and what highlights to expect. The West Sussex Weekends website is a great Challenging Terrain resource where you will also find ideas for places to stay, eat and drink plus plenty more inspirational stories to tempt you to explore more corners of West Sussex. Getting there 5 miles Cissbury Ring is located close to the village of Findon, just north of Worthing in West Sussex. From the Circular roundabout where the A24 meets the A280, take the small road heading east signed for Findon village. At the crossroads go ahead into Cross Lane which then 2.5 hours becomes Nepcote Lane. The post code BN14 0SG should get you to this point. Just before the large green on the left, turn left (signed 271015 for Cissbury Ring) and follow this lane all the way along as it becomes a single track and then finally meets a gate ahead (with the hill fort mound visible on your right). There is a small parking area to your left here.

  • Tiburzio Spannocchi's Project for the Fortifications of Fuenterrabía in 1580
    This paper is part of the Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Defence Sites: Heritage and Future (DSHF 2016) www.witconferences.com Tiburzio Spannocchi’s project for the fortifications of Fuenterrabía in 1580 R. T. Yáñez Pacios & V. Echarri Iribarren University of Alicante, Spain Abstract Fuenterrabía (Hondarribia) is a town located on the Franco-Spanish border. Between the 16th and 19th centuries it was considered to be one of the most outstanding strongholds in the Basque Country due to its strategic position. The bastion system of fortification was extremely prevalent in this stronghold. It was one of the first Spanish towns to adopt the incipient Renaissance designs of the bastion. The military engineers subsequently carried out continuous fortification projects that enabled the structure to withstand the advances being made in artillery and siege tactics. After the construction of the citadel of Pamplona had begun in 1571, following the design of the prestigious military engineer, Jacobo Palear Fratín and being revised by Viceroy Vespasiano Gonzaga, the afore- mentioned engineer undertook an ambitious project commissioned by Felipe II to modernise the fortifications of Fuenterrabía. Neither the plans nor the report of this project have been conserved, but in the year 2000, César Fernández Antuña published the report written by Spannocchi on the state of the fortifications of Fuenterrabía when he arrived to the Spanish peninsula, discovered in the Archivo Histórico Provincial de Zaragoza. This document conducts an in-depth analysis of Spannocchi’s project and how it was related to Fratín’s previous project. It concludes that this project encountered problems in updating the new bastions at the end of the 16th century, and identifies the factors which prevented the stronghold from being extended as was the case in Pamplona after Fratín’s project.
