  • The Early Neolithic Tor Enclosures of Southwest Britain
    The Early Neolithic Tor Enclosures of Southwest Britain By Simon R.

Abstract Along with causewayed enclosures, the tor enclosures of Cornwall and Devon represent the earliest enclosure of large open spaces in Britain and are the earliest form of surviving non-funerary monument. Their importance is at least as great as that of causewayed enclosures, and it might be argued that their proposed associations with settlement, farming, industry, trade and warfare indicate that they could reveal more about the Early Neolithic than many causewayed enclosure sites. Yet, despite being recognised as Neolithic in date as early as the 1920s, they have been subject to a disproportionately small amount of work. Indeed, the southwest, Cornwall especially, is almost treated like another country by many of those studying the Early Neolithic of southern Britain. When mentioned, this region is more likely to be included in studies of Ireland and the Irish Sea zone than studies concerning England.

  • The Effects of Structural Deposition: a Theoretical Research Project for the Social Uses of Causewayed Enclosures in the British Isles
    Author Brian Albrecht Author Status Full time PhD, University of Newcastle upon Tyne Nature of Paper Research Outline Journal Edition The School of Historical Studies Postgraduate Forum e-Journal , Edition One , 2002 The Effects of Structural Deposition: A Theoretical Research Project for the Social Uses of Causewayed Enclosures in the British Isles The causewayed enclosure is one of the most elusive earthwork monuments in the British Isles. For decades now ideas have centered on a variety of theories, which have attempted to put them into a better social context. These have included enclosures as gathering places (Smith 1965) where a variety of activities took place. This ultimately entails at looking at the ditch deposits and any interior features such a pits and postholes, which contain a variety of cultural material that seems to have been placed within a particular part of the enclosure thus creating a specific social space or spaces. Pollard (2001) is one of the first people to publish a paper on this subject for causewayed enclosures and pits as well as later Neolithic monuments (1995). An example of this can be seen at Windmill Hill (Whittle et al 1999) where it appears that the enclosure has specific parts, which may have been used for domestic and ritual space as noted by the quantity of the animal bone, pottery and lithics. Chapman (2000) also notes structured deposition for the Neolithic and Copper Age on the main European continent, which have helped transcend ideas that were eventually put into practice during the British Neolithic. It is through these actions, which can show specific events, which may point to the day-to-day activities or an ‘intimateness’, which entailed portions of Neolithic life.

  • Royal Pavilion & Museums Collection Development Policy 2018
    Royal Pavilion & Museums Collection Development Policy 2018 Name of museum: Royal Pavilion & Museums, Brighton & Hove (RPM) Name of governing body: Brighton & Hove City Council Date on which this policy was approved by governing body: 17 January 2019 Policy review procedure: The collections development policy will be published and reviewed from time to time, at least once every five years. Date at which this policy is due for review: January 2024 Arts Council England will be notified of any changes to the collections development policy, and the implications of any such changes for the future of collections. 1. Relationship to other policies & plans of RPM 1.1 RPM’s mission: ‘Our mission is to use our unique collections, buildings and knowledge to connect people to the past and help them understand the present in order to positively influence their future.’ RPM is also guided by a manifesto which contains a number of key pledges that inform its acquisition and use of collections https://brightonmuseums.org.uk/manifesto 1.2 The governing body will ensure that both acquisition and disposal1 are carried out openly and with transparency. 1.3 By definition, RPM has a long-term purpose and holds collections in trust for the benefit of the public in relation to its stated objectives. The governing body therefore accepts the principle that sound curatorial reasons must be established before consideration is given to any acquisition to the collection, or the disposal of any items in RPM’s collection. 1.4 Acquisitions outside the current stated policy will only be made in exceptional circumstances.

  • Causewayed Enclosures and the Early Neolithic
    South East Research Framework resource assessment seminar Causewayed enclosures and the Early Neolithic: the chronology and character of monument building and settlement in Kent, Surrey and Sussex in the early to mid-4th millennium cal BC Frances Healy Honorary Research Fellow, Cardiff University Causewayed enclosures This paper is concerned with the early and middle 4th millennium cal BC, the period occupied by the early Neolithic. Its starting point lies in the project Dating Causewayed Enclosures: towards a History of the Early Neolithic in Southern Britain , initiated at Cardiff University in 2003 by Professor Alasdair Whittle, and funded by The Arts and Humanities Research Council and English Heritage, whose Scientific Dating Co-Ordinator, Dr Alex Bayliss, has been responsible for obtaining more than 400 new radiocarbon dates and modelling them with an equal number of others from 42 causewayed and related enclosures in England, Wales and Ireland (Whittle et al. 2008; Bayliss et al. forthcoming; Whittle et al. in prep.). These enclosures, characteristically defined by ditches interrupted by gaps (or causeways) have long been seen as defining features of the early Neolithic in southern Britain. This is largely due to their large size compared with other earthworks of the period, to their often rich cultural assemblages and to the stratified sequences which they provide. They consist of single or multiple circuits and other lengths of interrupted ditch, sometimes with surviving banks, and range in area from over 8 ha to less than 1 ha. They saw varied and sometimes rich deposits of human bone, food remains, digging implements, artefacts and the debris of their manufacture.

  • Whitehawk Hill Local Nature Reserve Results of Public Consultation 2012
    Whitehawk Hill Local Nature Reserve Results of Public Consultation 2012 Whitehawk Hill has an ancient history, with a 6000 year old Neolithic camp and old chalk grassland, which supports many rare plant and animal species. Today the hill is a vital green lung within the city and is a popular area for dog walking and nature spotting. The council is looking at ways to conserve the important features of the hill and improve it as a resource for local people. The Consultation People in the local area were asked to comment on how they’d like to see the hill managed in the future. We received around three hundred responses from all over the city, and beyond. This is very encouraging and clearly shows how highly regarded the hill is, and for so many reasons. Here’s a reminder of the Council’s seven priorities for the future of Whitehawk Hill: Wildlife – Conserve, restore and enhance the rare and important species and habitats. Recreation – Promote quiet, informal access for all. Communities – Encourage community involvement and awareness Landscape – Protect the hill and promote awareness of the importance of the hill within the South Downs History – Safeguard the nationally important Neolithic camp on the hill and raise its profile. Food – Provide more allotment plots and support community-led food projects. Problems – Minimise anti-social behaviour on the hill, such as fly-tipping, fires, motorcycling and dog related issues. Question 1: Do you agree with the Council’s 7 priorities for the future of Whitehawk Hill? Yes 86% No 9% Don’t know 5% Comments: "I'm very supportive of all seven priorities.

  • Model Landscapes: on the Use of GIS in Archaeology – Part Two
    Model Landscapes: on the use of GIS in archaeology – Part Two Case study 1 – Visibility Analysis of Causewayed Enclosures on the Sussex Downs Figure 3 gives an example of an intervisibility network. The increased geographical range has generated a need for a different dataset for the digital terrain model (DTM) which now has a limit of accuracy corresponding to 10m per cell. That is, if we consider the DTM to be made up of grids of cells, where each cell reflects 10m on the ground, then each cell within the grid has only one value that corresponds to its elevation in the real world. Here the lines between the monuments are indicating the predicted intervisibilities between them, whilst the colour of the lines indicates areas within the landscape that are visible from the ‘observer’ enclosure at one end of the line. The model predicts that all enclosures intervisible with The Trundle, whilst, for example, the enclosure at Court Hill is only intervisible with The Trundle. Figure 3. Visibility network for the cluster of four causewayed enclosures in West Sussex Spatial data: Edina Digimap, Crown Copyright/database right 2010. An Ordnance Survey/Edina supplied Service. Figure 4 below is an example of two ‘fuzzy viewsheds’ looking from the highest point within the Coomb Hill and Halnaker Hill causewayed enclosures. The visibility is largely constrained by the immediate topography. In these models, more distance views are shown diffuse (orangey yellow) whilst the more immediate views are more emphatic. Combe Hill is unusual in the Sussex group in having its primary direction of view away from the coast.

  • A Report on the Outcomes of the Whitehawk Community Archaeology Project, Including a Post-Excavation Assessment and Updated Project Design
    WHITEHAWK CAMP, MANOR HILL, BRIGHTON, EAST SUSSEX NGR: 532938 104787 (TQ 32938 04787) Scheduled Ancient Monument: 1010929 A REPORT ON THE OUTCOMES OF THE WHITEHAWK COMMUNITY ARCHAEOLOGY PROJECT, INCLUDING A POST-EXCAVATION ASSESSMENT AND UPDATED PROJECT DESIGN ASE Project No: P106 Site Code: WHC14 ASE Report No: 2015222 OASIS ID: By Jon Sygrave With contributions by Luke Barber, Trista Clifford, Anna Doherty, Hayley Forsyth, Karine Le Hégarat, Andy Maxted, Dawn Elise Mooney, Hilary Orange, Dr Paola Ponce, Don Richardson Illustrations by Justin Russell November 2016 Abstract This report presents the results of the Whitehawk Camp Community Archaeology Project carried out by the Whitehawk Camp Partnership between April 2014 and July 2015. The work was generously funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund. This report details the background to the project, the methodology by which it was undertaken, the results of the archaeological fieldwork, the reassessment of the archive material, the potential and significance of the archaeological results, presents a new research agenda for the site and outlines the scope of potential future projects. This report does not detail all the project outcomes and the reader is directed to Appendix 5: An Evaluation Report to the Heritage Lottery Fund on the Outcomes of the Whitehawk Camp Community Archaeology Project (Orange et al 2015) for a summary of the main results of the Project including how successful it was in engaging with target audiences, what changes to heritage, community and people the project has brought about, project legacy and future work. The 2014-5 excavations, targeted on anomalies identified in the preceding geophysical survey (ASE 2014b), encountered a small number of features and a large unstratified finds assemblage associated with allotment gardens, the dumping of refuse and activity probably related to Brighton Racecourse dating to the 19th- 21st centuries.
