  • The Wisbech Standard 26/06/11 Fenland District Archaeological
    The Wisbech Standard 26/06/11 Fenland District Archaeological Planning - A Response to Councillor Melton We the undersigned consider to be shocking and potentially disastrous the recent declaration by Councillor Alan Melton (reported in the Cambs Times and Wisbech Standard) that, as of July 1st, the Fenland District Council will no longer apply archaeological planning condition. His speech to the Fenland Council Building and Design Awards ceremony at Wisbech noted the safeguarding of natural and aesthetic concerns, but made no mention of heritage aside from: “in local known historical areas, such as next to a 1000 year old church…. Common sense will prevail! The bunny huggers won't like this, but if they wish to inspect a site, they can do it when the footings are being dug out”. If Fenland District Council proceed with these plans, not only will it find itself contravening national planning guidelines and existing cultural and heritage statute and case law, it is likely any development will be open to legal challenges that will involve the Council (and by extension its rate-payers) in major financial costs and cause prospective developers serious delays, if not worse. All these factors run counter to Councillor Melton’s arguments and he will place Fenland District Council at a considerable financial risk. Rather than, as claimed, being an impediment to local development, development-related archaeology is a highly professional field and the vast majority of such excavations within England occur without any delay or redesign consequences to subsequent building programmes. Indeed, not only is archaeological fieldwork a source of graduate employment, but also now significantly contributes to the local rural economy (plant hire, tourism etc.).

  • Emeritus Professor Warwick Bray
    III. Oral history – Emeritus Professor Warwick Bray ‘The Life and Times of Uncle Warwick’ Helen R. Haines, PhD. Trent University Archaeology Research Centre Recently, I had the privilege of hosting a session in honour of Dr. Warwick Bray at the 71st Annual Meeting of the Society for American Archaeology, in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The following is a forward to Pamela J. Smith’s interview which introduces the reader to this wonderfully modest and endearingly understated man. His modest nature is exemplified in the title for my introduction which comes from a letter Warwick sent me in response to my request for his curriculum vitae – a document he humourously paralleled to children’s book ‘The Life and Times of Uncle Wiggley’. If you were to meet Warwick it is highly unlikely that you would at first, or even second or third glance, realise his great intellect or the lasting contributions he has made to our discipline. Upon meeting Warwick the first thing many people notice is the wry smile, twinkle in his eye, and penchant for gently poking fun at both himself and pompous or overly serious colleagues and as a means of relieving nervous and uptight students. His sense of humour is more than a means of creating levity, it is a long standing belief of his that we take ourselves (archaeologists) too seriously, and we need to find more appealing ways of engaging and educating the public about the past. Warwick’s desire to eschew technological jargon in favour of ‘clear language’ makes his papers a delight to read by students and colleagues as well as by the general public.

GMAU Report 21-22 ObituaryObituary————BenBen Edwards 181818-18 ---20202020 New Society! The Federation welcomes an- other new member, the Mid- dleton Archaeological Society. There will be a piece about the Society in a future issue of the newsletter. Introduction Dig Greater Manchester (DGM) is an archaeologically based project funded by the Association of Greater Manchester Authorities (AGMA) and the borough of Blackburn with Darwen. The project will build on the suc- cess of community heritage engagement projects such as ‘Dig Manchester’ and other successful community projects established by the Centre for Applied Archaeology (CfAA), the now closed University of Manchester Archaeology Unit (UMAU) in conjunction with the Greater Manchester Archaeology Unit (GMAU) and local au- thorities and politicians from the Greater Manchester area. The five year project will be led by staff from the CfAA and managed by members of all project partners. Although professionally led its overall aim is to involve the highest number of people from the local communities in the investigation of their Heritage. The project will have dedicated personnel including the lead archaeologist, dealing with the overall manage- ment and organisation of the project, and a dedicated educational/outreach archaeologist whose main task will be to organise the educational aspects. The Project The project will include an archaeological evaluation in every one of the participating boroughs each lasting for a two week period.

  • Oxford School of Archaeology: Annual Report 2012
    OXFORD School of Archaeology Annual Report 2012–2013 THE SCHOOL OF ARCHAEOLOGY The School of Archaeology is one of the premier departments in the world for the study and teaching of the human past. Comprised primarily of the Institute of Archaeology and the Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art, the School hosts a dynamic faculty, nearly one hundred undergraduates, and a large cohort of outstanding graduate students each year. It is one of the few places in the world where the many facets of archaeology come together to explore themes such as human origins and early hunter-gatherers, the ancient environment, classical and historical archaeology, and chronology.

Closing Perspective Glossary Bibliography Biographical Sketch Summary UNESCO – EOLSS The basic course of human biological history is well represented by the existing fossil record, although there is considerable debate on the details of that history. This review details both what is firmly understood (first echelon issues) and what is contentious concerning humanSAMPLE evolution. Most of the coCHAPTERSntention actually concerns the details (second echelon issues) of human evolution rather than the fundamental issues. For example, both anatomical and molecular evidence on living (extant) hominoids (apes and humans) suggests the close relationship of African great apes and humans (hominins). That relationship is demonstrated by the existing hominoid fossil record, including that of early hominins.

Andrew Barr, Center for the Advanced Study of Human Paleobiology & Department of Anthropology, The George Washington University, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA René Bobe, University of Oxford, UNITED KINGDOM Shannon McPherron, Human Evolution, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, GERMANY The Mille‐Logya site is located in the Afar depression of Ethiopia, a paleoanthropological hotspot. The region has produced a vast amount of paleontological and archeological evidence for our understanding of the biological and cultural evolution of the hominin clade spanning the past 6 million years. Yet, as is the case in many places, the time interval between 3 and 2.5 Ma is poorly sampled in this otherwise prolific region. The Mille‐Logya Project (MLP) area, which is located north of the Ledi‐Geraru and east of Woraso‐ Mille research areas, contains sediments representing this crucial interval and has yielded rich faunal assemblages with important implications for environmental change in the sedimentary basin (Alemseged et al. 2016). It has also yielded hominin remains, albeit fragmentary, that will shed some light on hominin evolution in the 3 to 2.5 Ma interval. To date, our team has recovered four hominin remains including a diagnostic and complete upper second molar crown (MLP‐1549), a calvarial fragment (MLP‐1469) and right and left proximal ulnae (MLP‐1617 and MLP‐786), from different individuals.
