  • Investigating the Origins of Great Easton, Leicestershire: Commumity Archaeology Meets the ‘Big Dig’
    INVESTIGATING THE ORIGINS OF GREAT EASTON, LEICESTERSHIRE: COMMUMITY ARCHAEOLOGY MEETS THE ‘BIG DIG’. Nicholas J. Cooper and Vicki Score On Sunday June 22nd 2003, the inhabitants of Great Easton in the Welland Valley, in southeast Leicestershire, together with professional archaeologists from the University of Leicester and Channel 4’s Time Team, undertook a one-day field work investigation to try to establish the origins of their village and to chart its subsequent development. In conjunction with geophysical survey, a total of 41 metre-square test pits and two machine-excavated trenches were opened up across the village and dug to a maximum depth of 0.6m or until archaeology or natural was encountered (Fig. 1). Pits 14, 23, 35 & 44 were not excavated. Although most of the archaeological features recorded were modern (with the notable exceptions of a late Roman or Early Anglo-Saxon cobbled surface from Test Pit 3 and medieval plot boundaries in Trench 40) the artefactual material from the investigation has added considerably to the existing body of knowledge gathered by the Great Easton Fieldwork Group (Burningham and Wallis 2004, Fig. 1) over the last 20 years. This, along with more recent developer-funded opportunities, allows us to trace this focus of settlement back to the Roman period or later Iron Age (Fig. 2). Analysis of the pottery assemblage and its distribution has confirmed and complemented the findings of earlier work, which suggested the existence of a Roman period settlement (probably with an Iron Age antecedent), in the north- eastern part of the village, on higher ground around the church and immediately to the north in Lount’s Crescent.

  • Mick Aston Archaeology Fund Supported by Historic England and Cadw
    Mick Aston Archaeology Fund Supported by Historic England and Cadw Mick Aston’s passion for involving people in archaeology is reflected in the Mick Aston Archaeology Fund. His determination to make archaeology publicly accessible was realised through his teaching, work on Time Team, and advocating community projects. The Mick Aston Archaeology Fund is therefore intended to encourage voluntary effort in making original contributions to the study and care of the historic environment. Please note that the Mick Aston Archaeology Fund is currently open to applicants carrying out work in England and Wales only. Historic Scotland run a similar scheme for projects in Scotland and details can be found at: http://www.historic-scotland.gov.uk/index/heritage/grants/grants-voluntary-sector- funding.htm. How does the Mick Aston Archaeology Fund work? Voluntary groups and societies, but also individuals, are challenged to put forward proposals for innovative projects that will say something new about the history and archaeology of local surroundings, and thus inform their future care. Proposals will be judged by a panel on their intrinsic quality, and evidence of capacity to see them through successfully. What is the Mick Aston Archaeology Fund panel looking for? First and foremost, the panel is looking for original research. Awards can be to support new work, or to support the completion of research already in progress, for example by paying for a specific piece of analysis or equipment. Projects which work with young people or encourage their participation are especially encouraged. What can funding be used for? In principle, almost anything that is directly related to the actual undertaking of a project.

Hinton Professor David Hinton starts his three-year term as our President in October, when Professor David Breeze steps down. To follow David Breeze into the RAI presidency is daunting; his easy manner, command of business and ability to find the right word at the right time are qualities that all members who have attended lectures, seminars and visits, or been on Council and committees, will have admired. Our affairs have been in very safe hands during a difficult three years. In the last newsletter, David thanked the various people who have helped him in that period, and I am glad to have such a strong team to support me in turn. ere will be another major change in officers; Patrick Ottaway has reached the end of his term of editorship, and has just seen his final volume, 168, of the Archaeological Journal through the press; he has brought in a steady stream of articles that have kept it in the forefront of research publication.

  • Hypermarket Lessons for New Zealand a Report to the Commerce Commission of New Zealand
    Hypermarket lessons for New Zealand A report to the Commerce Commission of New Zealand September 2007 Coriolis Research Ltd. is a strategic market research firm founded in 1997 and based in Auckland, New Zealand. Coriolis primarily works with clients in the food and fast moving consumer goods supply chain, from primary producers to retailers. In addition to working with clients, Coriolis regularly produces reports on current industry topics. The coriolis force, named for French physicist Gaspard Coriolis (1792-1843), may be seen on a large scale in the movement of winds and ocean currents on the rotating earth. It dominates weather patterns, producing the counterclockwise flow observed around low-pressure zones in the Northern Hemisphere and the clockwise flow around such zones in the Southern Hemisphere. It is the result of a centripetal force on a mass moving with a velocity radially outward in a rotating plane. In market research it means understanding the big picture before you get into the details. PO BOX 10 202, Mt.
