    CENTENARY INDEX To the TRANSACTIONS OF THE THOROTON SOCIETY of NOTTINGHAMSHIRE Volumes 1 - 100 1897-1997 Together with the THOROTON SOCIETY RECORD SERIES Volumes I - XL 1903-1997 and the THOROTON SOCIETY EXCAVATION SECTION Annual Reports1936-40 Compiled by LAURENCE CRAIK ã COPYRIGHT THOROTON SOCIETY AND COMPILER ISBN 0 902719 19X INTRODUCTION The Thoroton Society began to publish the 'Transactions' in 1897. This volume is intended as an Centenary index to all material published in the 'Transactions' from 1897 to 1996, to the contents of the Record Series volumes published from 1903 to 1997, and to the reports of the Excavation Section published between 1936 and 1940. Earlier indexes were published in 1951 and 1977; these are now superseded by this new Centenary index. Contents The index is in two parts: an author index, and an index to subjects, periods, and places. AUTHOR: this lists articles under the names of their authors or editors, giving the full title, volume number and page numbers. Where an article has more than one author or editor, it is listed by title under the name of each author or editor, with relevant volume and page numbers. SUBJECT: The contents of articles are indexed by subject and by place; topics of archaeological importance are also indexed by period. Cross-references are used to refer the enquirer from one form of heading to another, for example 'Abbeys' see ' Monastic houses', or from general headings such as 'Monastic houses' to the names of individual buildings. Place-names in the index are often followed by sub-headings indicating particular topics.

  • A RECENT FIND of an EARLY IRON AGE SOMPTING-TYPE AXE from HATHERN (CHARNWOOD), LEICESTERSHIRE Dot Boughton and Wendy Scott
    A RECENT FIND OF AN EARLY IRON AGE SOMPTING-TYPE AXE FROM HATHERN (CHARNWOOD), LEICESTERSHIRE Dot Boughton and Wendy Scott INTRODUCTION In April 2013, metal detectorist Chris Heap discovered a decorated socketed axe in a field near Hathern, in north-west Leicestershire. He reported the find to Wendy Scott, his local county Finds Liaison Officer, who contacted Dot Boughton, Finds Liaison Officer for Cumbria and Lancashire, who specialises in socketed axes from the Late Bronze and Early Iron Age (c.1000–600 BC). The socketed axe is now recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) database (www.finds.org.uk/ database) under the find identification LEIC-1ED197. It is described as an Early Iron Age socketed axe of Sompting type, dating from c.800–600 BC. A grid reference of 10 figures for the findspot of the axe was provided by the finder. The Hathern find is the first Sompting-type socketed axe from Leicestershire, its discovery complementing the small scatter of Early Iron Age socketed axes from North Leicestershire and South Nottinghamshire. Previous find records from Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire show that Early Iron Age socketed axes were found predominantly in the Holme Pierrepoint area of Nottinghamshire but are rare elsewhere. Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age metalwork is scarce generally in the two counties, which is reflected in the number of records on the database of the Portable Antiquities Scheme. Leicestershire has only four Late Bronze Age objects and no Early Iron Age artefacts, whilst Nottinghamshire records only marginally more material with seven Late Bronze Age artefacts and one Early Iron Age socketed axe, which is a small Sompting Type from the Harworth Bircotes area in the north of the county (Find ID: YORYM-FB2336).
