  • (X0.95) As "Modern," Both Val- Ues Treated As Constants, with AD 1950 As the Reference Year
    [RADIOCARBON, VOL 29, No. 1, 1987, P 78-99] HARWELL RADIOCARBON MEASUREMENTS V A J WALKER, R S KEYZOR*, and R L OTLET Isotope Measurements Laboratory, Nuclear Applications Centre, Atomic Energy Research Establishment, Harwell, Oxfordshire, OXl l ORA, UK INTRODUCTION The results presented in this list include some recently measured sam- ples (1984) but mostly ones from our earlier years of operation which had not been previously published in RADIOCARBON. It is the first of a number of special lists prepared over the last year so that the backlog of unpub- lished dates of this laboratory will be cleared. The samples are all archaeo- logic from the United Kingdom most of which have originated from "res- cue"-type excavations. As in previous lists, all samples were measured by liquid scintillation counting (Otlet & Warchal,1978), and the error term quoted is the 10r stan- dard deviation estimate of the full replicate sample reproducibility (Otlet, 1979). The list was produced semi-automatically from the Harwell data base stored on the main frame computer using the procedures described in Otlet and Walker (1983). Calculations are based on the Libby half-life of 5568 years, using NBS oxalic acid standard (x0.95) as "modern," both val- ues treated as constants, with AD 1950 as the reference year. All results are corrected for fractionation according to the quoted b13C (wrt PDB) values measured in this laboratory. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We wish to acknowledge the work of our colleagues, G A Bradburn and D G Humphreys, with the laboratory measurements and of E F Westall, S E Hasler, and M Gibson with the preparation of the data in computer readable form.

  • A Short History of the Township of Rivington in the County of Lancaster
    ^|S4ii^^^Si^:liif:;ivills^'; THE LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES A SHORT HISTORY OF THE TOWNSHIP OF A SHORT HISTORY OF THE TOWNSHIP OF IN THE COUNTY OF LANCASTER WITH SOME ACCOUNT OF THE CI)urcl) anil (grammar ^cl)ool BY WM. FERGUSSON IRVINE PRINTED AT THE BALLANTYNE PRESS, EDINBURGH 1904 57848^ ENGLISH LOCAL •r. •-a uj ^ PA PREFACE intention of this book is not to present the reader THEwith a dry archaeological account of the history of the township. The aim of the writer has been rather to put together a consecutive account of the descent of the Manor and the history of the Church, the old Nonconformist Chapel, and the Grammar School in a popular way, choosing in the main such incidents in the story of Rivington as illus- trate the manners and customs of our forefathers. To some people an account of this kind makes no appeal, but the writer ventures to hope that there are many who, while not attracted by the minutiae of antiquarian research, are sufficiently interested in a general way in the history of their neighbourhood to follow the story with pleasure. The idea of this book originated with Mr. W. H. Lever. When talking over the history of the countryside, Mr. Lever suggested that the scattered facts known about Rivington should be collected into a consecutive story, and this book is the outcome. It is hardly necessary to add how much the writer owes to Mr. Lever for the great interest he has taken in the work as it progressed, and for his constant encouragement and help, especially in giving full access to the Rivington charters and documents, many of which are dated as early as the thirteenth century.

  • Great Hill 1 - Moor Adventure
    1 Great Hill 1 - Moor Adventure There are a number of well known routes around Great Hill. Typically from White Coppice to Great Hill Peak, then Spitlers Edge to Will Narr and down to Lead Mines Clough then down to and along the Goyt back to White Coppice. Those are all on known pubic footpaths paths. The 6 mile walk here follows the usual route to the peak of Great Hill from White Coppic ebut then heads off across the moor to visit two hill tops, and two archaeological sites. On the moor itself there are few paths so this walk entails 2 miles across the moor with only ½ mile of visible path. The walk was done after a wet summer though having had a few good dry and hot days. While the moor was not dry, there was no problems with bogs and gaiters were not essential, just sensible. Much of the moor is covered in short heather, some grass areas and all of it “clumpy”. The two archaeological sites are a bowl barrow and a chambered long cairn. While it is possible to cross the moor without a compass, it is better to have one. At Point 13 you could take a shorter route to White Coppice by following the initial waypoints in reverse in Great Hill 2 description. The start of the walk is White Coppice cricket ground. Sometimes the café is open and in those cases the toilets behind the café are also open. When it’s not a cricket day, it’s possible to park in the small car park.
