  • The Practices of Carnival: Community, Culture and Place
    The Practices of Carnival: Community, Culture and Place. Submitted by Jonathan Freeman Croose to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography May 2014 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. …………………………………………………………………….. 1 Abstract: This thesis analyses ethnographic data gathered during participant observation within two vernacular town carnivals in East Devon and Dorset during 2012 and within the professional Cartwheelin’ and Battle for the Winds street performances which were staged as part of the Maritime Mix programme of the 2012 Cultural Olympiad at Weymouth. The thesis presents qualitative perspectives with regard to the cultural performance of carnival in the fieldwork area, in order to analyse the ‘performativity’ of carnival in these contexts: how it enacts and embodies a range of instrumentalities with regard to notions of community, culture and place. The thesis serves to unpack the ‘performance efficacy’ of carnival within the wider political and cultural landscape of the UK in the early 21st century, revealing the increasing influence of institutional policy on its aesthetics and cultural performance. By way of contrast, the thesis also asserts the value of vernacular carnivalesque street performance as a contestation of hegemonic notions of ‘art’, ‘place’ and ‘culture’.

  • Repeated Dye Traces of Underground Streams in the Mendip Hills, Somerset
    47 Proc. Univ., Bristol Spelaeol. Soc, 1981. 16 (1). 47-58 REPEATED DYE TRACES OF UNDERGROUND STREAMS IN THE MENDIP HILLS. SOMERSET by W. I. STANTON and P. L. SMART ABSTRACT Three underground streams were dye traced as many as twenty-four times, at various Hows between the extremes of Hood and drought. This systematic study, the first of its kind to our knowledge, has shown that: 1. Travel time (the time between input of dye at the swallet and its first arrival at the resurgence) is inversely proportional (1:1) to mean resurgence outpul over the same period. This is characteristic of simple phreatie streams, which should be distinguishable using graphic analysis from vadose and complex phrcatic streams. 2. Rhodamine WT dye. the most stable of the common fluorescent dyes, Ls progress ively lost, to a significant and unpredictable extent, in transit from swallci to resurgence. Successful tracing therefore requires more dye at low flows than at high flows. BACKGROUND Water tracing in the Mendip caves has a long and distinguished history (Barrington and Stanton 1977, 209-213). The early experimenters, beginning at Wookey Hole Cave (ST 532.480) in 1860, used chaff, dyes or coloured powders, hoping for results visible to the naked eye. The modern phase of water tracing began in 1965 using the spores of a moss, Lycopodium clavatum, which were flushed down the swallets and caught at the resurgences in plankton nets. For the first time the tracing agent could not be detected by the unaided senses, and some attempt at quantitative analysis of results could be made (Atkinson, Drew and High 1967; Drew, Newson and Smith 1968).

  • October 14, 2020 Gamay Noir and Cabernet Franc We Adore These Two Red Grape Varieties
    The Wine and Cheese Cask 407 Washington Street • Somerville, Massachusetts 02143 (617) 623-8656 September 22, 2020 – October 14, 2020 Gamay Noir and Cabernet Franc We adore these two red grape varieties. Unlike Cru Classé Bordeaux or Premier Cru Burgundy, there is never a reason not to pull the cork on a Gamay from Beaujolais or Cabernet Franc from the Loire. These are delicious on their own but also very versatile with food, pairing admirably with a wide variety of cuisines since they handle spice and acid well. Straight Beaujolais Grézeaux 2019 Beaujolais (Domaine Dupeuble Père et Fils) 2018 Chinon ‘Les Grézeaux’ (Bernard Baudry) Sale Price $14.99 – $152.90 case of twelve Sale Price $29.99 – $305.90 case of twelve The amazingly good straight We like everything that Baudry produces, but this is one wine that Beaujolais from Dupeuble has enthralls us enough to buy it in quantity been so good for so long it is every good vintage. The 60 year old Les sometimes referred to as Grézeaux vineyard produces a Chinon importer Kermit Lynch’s that is fresh and beautiful in its youth, house Gamay. It’s lovely to mellow and smooth in the mid-term, and watch this purple wine being poured into a glass. Its vibrant, earthy and profound at 15 to 20 years of aromatic fruit is very nose-friendly. On the palate, it is surprisingly age. For its price, this wine delivers a lot. layered— multiple fruits are backed by subtle, spicy tannins. Chill slightly and serve with a cheesy potato gratin and a salad.

  • Palaeolithic and Pleistocene Sites of the Mendip, Bath and Bristol Areas
    Proc. Univ. Bristol Spelacol. Soc, 19SlJ, 18(3), 367-389 PALAEOLITHIC AND PLEISTOCENE SITES OF THE MENDIP, BATH AND BRISTOL AREAS RECENT BIBLIOGRAPHY by R. W. MANSFIELD and D. T. DONOVAN Lists of references lo works on the Palaeolithic and Pleistocene of the area were published in these Proceedings in 1954 (vol. 7, no. 1) and 1964 (vol. 10, no. 2). In 1977 (vol. 14, no. 3) these were reprinted, being then out of print, by Hawkins and Tratman who added a list ai' about sixty papers which had come out between 1964 and 1977. The present contribution is an attempt to bring the earlier lists up to date. The 1954 list was intended to include all work before that date, but was very incomplete, as evidenced by the number of older works cited in the later lists, including the present one. In particular, newspaper reports had not been previously included, but are useful for sites such as the Milton Hill (near Wells) bone Fissure, as are a number of references in serials such as the annual reports of the British Association and of the Wells Natural History and Archaeological Society, which are also now noted for the first time. The largest number of new references has been generated by Gough's Cave, Cheddar, which has produced important new material as well as new studies of finds from the older excavations. The original lists covered an area from what is now the northern limit of the County of Avon lo the southern slopes of the Mendips. Hawkins and Tratman extended that area to include the Quaternary Burtle Beds which lie in the Somerset Levels to the south of the Mendips, and these are also included in the present list.

  • Mells River Sink — a Spelaeological Curiosity in East Mendip, Somerset
    93 Proc. Univ. Bristol Spelaeol. Soc, 1982, 16 (2), 93-104. MELLS RIVER SINK — A SPELAEOLOGICAL CURIOSITY IN EAST MENDIP, SOMERSET by W. I. STANTON ABSTRACT The site is a cleft in the side of the Mells River that acts as a resurgence in winter and a swallet in summer. An excavation, 1974-78, began 21m above, and ended 2m below, river level. It showed (hat a high-leve! resurgence was active in the Middle Devensian, and was buried under later deposits. Scattered finds of archaeological significance included Woolly Rhinoceros bones and a First Century bronze brooch. Water tracing experiments proved that the Sink is the upper end of an active underground oxbow to the Mells River, 2.5 km long. The cleft was developed along a neptunian dyke of Lower Lias age. Bubbling springs and 'cave, coral" are briefly discussed. INTRODUCTION The Mells River rises at Gurney Slade and flows east below the north flank of the Mendips to join the River Frome at Frome. It receives water from the Carboniferous Limestone resurgences of Winter Well, Gurney Slade, Ashwick Grove, St. Dunstan's Well, Whitehole, Cobby Wood, Hapsford and other smaller springs (Barrington and Stanton, 1977). Some of these resurgences fail in dry weather, and one of them, Mells River Sink, is so close to the river bed that, at times, the spring flow actually reverses and part of the river disappears down the hole. In the drought summer of 1976 about one quarter of the Mells River was lost into Mells River Sink. At the village of Mells the Mells River leaves undulating low ground to enter a wooded gorge (Wadbury Valley) incised by super imposed drainage into the north flank of East Mendip (Barrington and Stanton, 1977, p 220).
