  • The Relationship Between Iron Age Hill Forts, Roman Settlements and Metallurgy on the Atlantic Fringe
    The Relationship between Iron Age Hill Forts, Roman Settlements and Metallurgy on the Atlantic Fringe Keith Haylock BSc Department of Geography and Earth Sciences Supervisors Professor John Grattan, Professor Henry Lamb and Dr Toby Driver Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the award of degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Aberystwyth University 2015 0 Abstract This thesis presents geochemical records of metalliferous enrichment of soils and isotope analysis of metal finds at Iron Age and Romano-British period settlements in North Ceredigion, Mid Wales, UK. The research sets out to explore whether North Ceredigion’s Iron Age sites had similar metal-production functions to other sites along the Atlantic fringe. Six sites were surveyed using portable x-ray fluorescence (pXRF), a previously unused method in the archaeology of Mid Wales. Also tested was the pXRF (Niton XLt700 pXRF) with regard to how environmentally driven matrix effects may alter its in situ analyses results. Portable x-ray fluorescence was further used to analyse testing a range of certified reference materials (CRM) and site samples to assess target elements (Pb, Cu, Zn and Fe) for comparative accuracy and precision against Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for both in situ and laboratory sampling. At Castell Grogwynion, one of the Iron Age sites surveyed recorded > 20 times Pb enrichment compared to back ground values of 110 ppm. Further geophysical surveys confirmed that high dipolar signals correlated to the pXRF Pb hotspots were similar to other known Iron Age and Roman period smelting sites, but the subsequent excavation only unearthed broken pottery and other waste midden development.

  • Wind Turbine Experiences Survey 2012
    Wind Turbine experiences 2012 survey results Introduction The Government’s commitment to renewable energy has meant a large increase in the number of wind farms and domestic turbines over the last few years. In 1995, in response to the Government seeking guidance, the BHS recommended that there should be a distance of at least 200m between a turbine and the nearest off-road equestrian route, which was supported by the Countryside Commission at the time. However, this was based on turbine heights of less than 60 metres and by 1998 there were already applications for turbines of 100m, so the BHS urged Government to revise its guidance to an appropriate formula of three times the height of the turbine with an absolute minimum of 200 metres. Although the three times height was accepted by the Countryside Agency, the Government’s guidance was not revised. The Agency went further and proposed that four times the height be recommended for national trails and promoted equestrian routes on the basis that these are likely to be used by horses unfamiliar with turbines. Government guidance up to July 2013 said: “The British Horse Society ... has suggested a 200 metre exclusion zone around bridle paths to avoid wind turbines frightening horses. Whilst this could be deemed desirable, it is not a statutory requirement ...”. In many cases, this separation distance was adopted as reasonable; however, the latest Government guidance does not specifically refer to horses and says: "Other than when dealing with set back distances for safety, distance of itself does not necessarily determine whether the impact of a proposal is unacceptable." The latest BHS guidance, revised as a result of this survey, gives a number of factors which increase the impact of wind turbines on equestrian access and which should increase the set back distance.

The geological galleries were opened by Charles Lapworth (founder of the Ordovician System) in 1912 and the museum carries out annual programmes of geological activities, exhibitions and events (see accompanying supporting information disc for additional detail). The museum now hosts a Black Country Geopark Project information point where the latest information about activities in the geopark area and information to support a visit to the geopark can be found.

  • Ludlow, Silurian) Positive Carbon Isotope Excursion in the Type Ludlow Area, Shropshire, England?
    At what stratigraphical level is the mid Ludfordian (Ludlow, Silurian) positive carbon isotope excursion in the type Ludlow area, Shropshire, England? DAVID K. LOYDELL & JIØÍ FRÝDA The balance of evidence suggests that the mid Ludfordian positive carbon isotope excursion (CIE) commences in the Ludlow area, England in the uppermost Upper Whitcliffe Formation, with the excursion continuing into at least the Platyschisma Shale Member of the overlying Downton Castle Sandstone Formation. The Ludlow Bone Bed Member, at the base of the Downton Castle Sandstone Formation has previously been considered to be of Přídolí age. Conodont and 13 thelodont evidence, however, are consistent with the mid Ludfordian age proposed here. New δ Corg data are presented from Weir Quarry, W of Ludlow, showing a pronounced positive excursion commencing in the uppermost Upper Whitcliffe Formation, in strata with a palynologically very strong marine influence. Elsewhere in the world, the mid Ludfordian positive CIE is associated with major facies changes indicated shallowing; the lithofacies evidence from the Ludlow area is consistent with this. There appears not to be a major stratigraphical break at the base of the Ludlow Bone Bed Member. • Key words: Silurian, Ludlow, carbon isotopes, conodonts, chitinozoans, thelodonts, stratigraphy.
