Carole and I got a good soaking both going to Bakewell and on the way home, but the weather although not perfect while we were there was not too unkind and we had a really good time. I congratulate Steve Spence and his team on a job well done, I know that they put in a lot of work to make the event a success but I would like to assure them that we all appreciate their efforts. Carole and I have just got back from our holiday where we spent five days in Belgium at the venue for next years to Ireland will be underway, Carole and I anniversary celebrations along with Bill are really looking forward to it, as I am and Mary Johnson and Richard and Jane sure are the drivers and passengers of the Allen.

SCHEME FOR RECORDING ANCIENT DEFENSIVE EARTHWORKS AND FORTIFIED ENCLOSURES. » T the Congress of the Archaeological Societies, held on A July ioth, 1901, a Committee was appointed to prepare a scheme for a systematic record of ANCIENT DEFENSIVE EARTHWORKS AND FORTIFIED ENCLOSURES. It was suggested that the secretaries of the various archaeological societies, and other gentlemen likely to be interested in the subject, should be pressed to prepare schedules of the works in their respective districts, in the hope that lists may eventually be published.

Cover photographs A common perception of the Peak District karst hydrogeology is that it is dominated by sinking streams that feed caves which in turn discharge substantial flows of water from large springs such as Peak Cavern Rising (left). However, over much of the area where limestones crop out there is only dispersed autogenic recharge through a soil cover and surprisingly little evidence of karstic drainage, particularly at depth. During the excavation of stone from Ballidon Quarry in the southern White Peak no caves were encountered and the 100m of limestone exposure (right) shows only an epikarst below which there are no visible conduits and nothing to suggest concentrated drainage.

  • Using Computers in Archaeology: Towards Virtual Pasts

    Using Computers in Archaeology: Towards Virtual Pasts

    USING COMPUTERS IN ARCHAEOLOGY As computing becomes increasingly essential to the work of the archaeologist, archeologists require a clear understanding of the impact of information technology upon their discipline. This non-technical introductory volume discusses and explains the influence of computers on all aspects of archaeological research and interpretation, from survey, excavation and landscape to museums, education and communicating the past. The author meets the need of the archaeologist to keep abreast of how computers can assist at all stages of archaeological research and data analysis. Theoretical information, focusing on Geographical Information Systems, for example, is presented through description of archaeological processes, and is consistently practical and free from jargon. The author acknowledges the problem of obsolescence in computing and presents archaeological technology as an on-going, constantly changing process rather than as a final, achievable state. The book will thus remain relevant through future advances in technology and informative about the general principles of, and the issues arising from, the relationship between computers and archaeology. Highly illustrated and referenced throughout with case-studies and examples, Using Computers in Archaeology: Towards Virtual Pasts is a timely survey of this increasingly important area of archaeology, catering for both the student and the experienced archaeologist. Gary Lock is Lecturer in Archaeology at the University of Oxford, editor of Beyond the Map: Archaeology and Spatial Technologies (2000) and co-editor of On the Theory and Practice of Archaeological Computing (2000).

    05 Waddington:Layout 1 03/07/2013 08:50 Page 159 Excavations at Fin Cop, Derbyshire: An Iron Age Hillfort in Conflict? clive waddington With contributions by P. Beswick, J. Brightman, C. Bronk Ramsey, A. Burn, G. Cook, L. Elliot, L. Gidney, S. Haddow, A. Hammon, K. Harrison, K. Mapplethorpe, P. Marshall, J. Meadows, R. Smalley, A. Thornton and Longstone Local History Group A programme of archaeological investigation took place on Fin Cop hillfort, in the Derbyshire Peak District, during the summers of 2009 and 2010. In total fifty test-pits and eight trenches were excavated, revealing evidence for a Mesolithic quarry site, and sporadic evidence for Neolithic and Beaker period activity. An assemblage of Late Bronze Age-Early Iron Age ceramics was recovered from the interior of the fort in association with rock-cut pits testifying to occupation of the hilltop prior to the construction of the hillfort rampart. The hillfort rampart construction took place in the period 435–390 cal. BC (68% probability) and was destroyed before its completion, probably by the mid-fourth century cal. BC, when large numbers of women and children were disposed of in the ditch together with the demolition material from the fort’s wall. The defensive character of the monument and the evidence for a violent end to the site appear to indicate, on current evidence, that the fort was sacked. BACKGROUND Fin Cop is the name given to the summit of a prominent hilltop and its crowning hillfort located at SK 174710 on Carboniferous Limestone bedrock that rises to 330 m above Ordnance Datum, approximately 5 km north-west of Bakewell (Illus.
