Reading L\1Useum: the More Recent Discoveries Are Housed in a L\-Luseum on the Site, After Examination and Treatment in the Ashmolean L\Luseum
Notes and News ARCHAEOLOGICAL NOTES During the past year the following discoveries have been made in the Oxford district, either by excavation under the auspices of the Ashmolean Museum and of the Oxford University Archaeological Society, or as chance finds:- I. Eynsham (Foxley Farm), Oxon. Gravel-digging revealed a beaker-cemetery of the Early Bronze Age with eleven graves, four of which contained beakers; further finds may be expected. For a previous beaker-interment from here see Antiq. J., XI (1931), 280 f. 2. Long Wittenlzam (Pearith's Farm), Berks. A beaker-burial, Early Bronze Age (see above, p. I), and two unaccompanied skeletons, (?) Romano-British, were found during gravel-digging. 3. Radley (Wick Farm), Berks. 1n Barrow Hills field (Oxollumsia, I, 8 If., fig. I) systematic excavation of the easternmost ring-ditch in the southern line has been con tinued, and has yielded to date: one I central' cremation-burial accompanied by bronze implements and beads; eight eccentric cremation-burials, unaccompanied; two food vessels buried independently and eccentrically; and one cooking-hole. A full publica tion will appear in a future volume of Oxofliensr.·a, when the excavation has been com pleted. 4. Cassingtoll, OXOII. Gravel-digging W. of Cassington village along the line of the Oxford Northern By-pass Road has brought to light several Early Iron Age smelting pits, other Early Iron Age and Romano-British occupation-pits and ditches, and some more Romano-British inhumation-burials, bringing the total number of this cemetery up to 95. Crop-marks in the field on the opposite side of the road, near the river Even lode, seem to mark the site of another and even more extensive prehistoric and Romano British settlement. -

Henry I Beauclerc, King of England NOTES: (Reign: 1066-1087) William of the House of Normandy; The first Norman King; On 28 Sep 1066 William secured the sanction of Pope Alexander II for a Norman invasion of England. By 1070 the Norman conquest of England was complete. In 1085 the Domesday Survey was begun and all England was recorded so William knew exactly what his new kingdom contained. William introduced the Continental system of feudalism; by the Oath of Salisbury of 1086 all landlords swore allegiance to William, thus establishing the precedent that a vassal's loyalty to the king overrode his fealty to his immediate lord. During a campaign against King Philip I of France, William fell from a horse and was fatally injured. William was the illegitimate son of Robert I, duke of Normandy and Arletta, a tanner's daughter. He is sometimes called "William the Bastard".

The Public Will Thank You for Your Timely Article on the Absurdity of So Many of the Names with Which Our Localities in South Australia Are Humiliated
B The public will thank you for your timely article on the absurdity of so many of the names with which our localities in South Australia are humiliated. The places so handicapped are, like the unfortunate infants christened after certain celebrities, voiceless in the matter… (Register, 25 July 1900, page 7d) Baan Hill - On section 50, Hundred of Allenby; an adjacent spring gives a good supply of water all year round; derived from the Aboriginal panau - ‘ochre’. The name was given to a pastoral run by H.S. Williams and J.T. Bagot and, on 24 June 1976, proclaimed as a recreation reserve. Babbage, Mount - B.H. Babbage discovered the mountain in 1856 and named it ‘Mount Hopeful’; in the following year it was renamed by G.W. Goyder. Babbage Peninsula, situated on Lake Eyre North was, virtually, discovered by Babbage, as opposed to Lake Eyre South which was discovered by E.J. Eyre and not named until 1963. Born in London, circa 1814, he came to South Australia in the Hydaspes in 1851. A qualified engineer he was involved in the construction of the Port Adelaide railway, entered Parliament in 1857 and resigned nine months later to command a northern exploration party. By the end of six months his explorations had scarcely penetrated beyond the limits of pastoral settlement and, consequently, both the public and the government, increasingly, became impatient at his slow rate of progress. Eventually, Major P. E. Warburton was dispatched to take over the leadership and, later, it was said that, ‘Babbage’s expedition of 1858-59 was one of the most fruitful in its detailed collection of geographical information and the minuteness of its survey work.’ The Advertiser of 24 December 1858 has a satirical poem - one verse reads: Each caviller at Babbage then A fairy land, no doubt, he’d see, We’d northward send exploring Where others saw but gravel, To find new land, or water when And geographic problems he He chose artesian boring! Most surely would unravel. -
Manning's Curiosity Projected Into the 21St Century by Brian Durham Percy Manning: the Man Who Collected Oxfordshire, Ed
Manning's Curiosity Projected into the 21st Century by Brian Durham Percy Manning: The Man who Collected Oxfordshire, Ed. Michael Heaney, Pages 289-309 11: Manning’s Curiosity Projected into the 21st Century Brian Durham Had a man of Percy Manning’s breadth of interests been born a century later, what intellectual ramparts would he have manned in Oxfordshire? Now that his sort of collecting has been recognized as an essential record of humanity’s evolution, such that developments big and small will try to address their respective cultural impacts in a spirit of discovery and understanding, what questions would still have tantalized a Percy Manning a century on? This contribution looks into the mind of the man through his collecting, his writing and his collaboration with his peers, exploring his world with a newly available technique of landscape analysis that would have impressed him and could revolutionize the perception of his 21st-century successor. The original Manning saw to it that the millennium of Oxford’s first mention, in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle for AD 911/2, was commemorated (see Chapters 1 and 6). Since that time other Oxford millennia have passed unnoticed, including that of the slaughter of Danes in 1003. This would have seemed an unfortunate case for commemoration in 2003, but only five years later the ‘tumbled’ remains of 35 individuals, some with Scandinavian characteristics, were exhumed on the inner lip of a huge ring ditch under what is now St John’s College, Keble College and Keble Road. 1 The monument is identified as a ‘henge’, the upcast of which would originally have created a counterscarp six metres high, a massive auditorium – the deposition of an untidy heap of humanity in this context might therefore have been witnessed by an 11th-century onlooker from the weathered remains of this slope. -
Interpretation and Discussion
Interpretation and Prehistoric (Figure 13) discussion The two curvilinear ditches of Phase I are interpreted as Bronze Age barrow ditches.The northern ditch in particular was sufficiently well preserved to establish its profile, dimensions and fill sequence at six separate points along its circumference (see above). Its overall area could also be estimated; given that just under half of its full extent lay within the area investigated, it would have an internal diameter of approximately 28 m (Fig. 4). Circular barrow ditches of this type are known from Barrow Hills at Radley to the south-west of Oxford, where internal diameters of the single ditched barrows ranged on average from 24-40 m, and where ditch profiles, fill sequences and dimensions were very similar to those described above (Barclay and Halpin 1999,figs 1.2 and 4.81).The deposition of primary fills in the northern ditch showed evidence of erosion consistent with the presence of an external bank, as more substantial quantities of gravel had accumulated towards the outside of the ditch. It is unfortunate that the excavation was unsuccessful in retrieving a central grave or cremation pit, particularly as Figure 3 shows that the centre of the northern barrow would have lain within the area investigated. Disturbance in the form of pits and other features of Phases 2 and 5 is the likely reason for this absence, especially as the cremation pit may have been quite small; the cremation pit found at the centre of the Rex Richards Building barrow (see below) was only 0.5 m across (Parkinson et al. -
Medieval Towns in the Thames Valley, C AD 1000–1500 by Anne Dodd
THE THAMES THROUGH TIME The Archaeology of the Gravel Terraces of the Upper and Middle Thames: The Thames Valley in the Medieval and Post-Medieval Periods AD 1000–2000 Medieval Towns in the Thames Valley AD 1000–1500 THE THAMES THROUGH TIME The Archaeology of the Gravel Terraces of the Upper and Middle Thames: The Thames Valley in the Medieval and Post-Medieval Periods AD 1000-2000 Medieval towns in the Thames Valley, c AD 1000–1500 By Anne Dodd INTRODUCTION The definition of a medieval town is not straightforward. Urban historians often preferred to work with the term ‘borough’, which was the definition adopted by Beresford and Finberg (1976) in their hand list of medieval urbanism and which forms the basis for the selection of towns we will be considering here. Boroughs were towns that enjoyed legal privileges that set them apart from other kinds of settlements. Perhaps the most universal of these were privileges relating to the holding of property. In boroughs, unlike in the countryside, property was held for cash rents rather than services or rents in kind, and urban property could be acquired or disposed of freely by purchase, sale, grant or bequest. These property rights are known as burgage tenure. Often, such rights were conferred by means of a borough charter, sometimes along with other urban privileges relating to taxation, trading advantages, and the governance of the town. Nevertheless, it has always been acknowledged that this definition is too narrow to encompass many places that clearly functioned as towns despite having no surviving evidence of a charter or for burgage tenure. -
Destinations and Content
360° Global Learning Experiences (GLE) Why? We share the same mission as most educational institutions across the globe: to build globally competent and culturally aware faculty and students. However, much of the International Education sector is struggling with this mission due to a lack of globally-infused resources and accessibility. With that in mind, Study Abroad Association has launched 360° Global Learning Experiences (GLE), in order to tackle the mission above and to produce the following benefits for faculty and institutions: • An efficient way to internationalize curriculum • Enhance the learning experience with up-to-date, real world content • Build globally competent students and faculty • Make international education accessible to everyone • Offer solutions for times when physical travel is not possible • Promote and inspire traditional study abroad • Add immersive and interactive global education to the student’s academic journey How does it work? Based on faculty and institutional feedback, we’ve identified four main areas of study to develop for the first year. Each area of study contains 12 hours of 360°, supplemental, globally-infused real world content; totalling 48 hours of internationalized content and materials. Humanities 12 Hours of Immersive Virtual Content Business 12 Hours of Immersive Virtual Content Sciences 12 Hours of Immersive Virtual Content Global Perspectives 12 Hours of Immersive Virtual Content Countries featured in 360° GLE 2021 subscription model: • Costa Rica (Science and Global Perspectives) • -

The attrition continues with Jonathan Parkhouse "jumping ship" and taldng up a post as County Archaeologist in Warwickshire, I'm sure we all wish him well. Over the past year there have been suggestions that this publication should change. One of the suggestions has been that there should be peer review of the articles which are submitted. I have trsisted this on two counts: Time. The elapse time between the deadline for articles, end of March,,and the time when the publication goes to the indexer, begirming of June, is two months. It is usually tighter than this as illustrations inevitably arrive late. The indexer is then able to fit our job in between her other work and holidays; because of this we get a "good deal". This is a publication primarily for reporting results, not interpretation. I'm not too bothered if an interpretation reported in SMA is proved to be incorrect, it is the nature of archaeology that as more data accumulate all interpretations are overtumed. -

Henry Taunt Collection
Henry Taunt Collection Size: 14,000 images Coverage: Oxford and Oxfordshire plus Thames-side counties from Source to Sea. Date range: c.1860-1922 Background: Henry Taunt (1842-1922) was a famous Oxford photographer whose collection of negatives, prints and other material was bought by Oxford City Library in 1924/5. OPA retains Taunt’s original prints but his surviving glass plate negatives are now held in the National Monuments Record Centre in Swindon - the public archive of English Heritage. The two collections have been ‘virtually’ re-united as a result of a joint digitization project funded by the New Opportunities Fund (NOF).
