It is the editors’ hope and intention that this can be accomplished before the end of 2005. The volume also marks the end of the journal’s fourth decade of publication and, as before, an index will be produced to cover the last ten numbers (31–40). This will be published separately and distributed to members as soon as available. Finally, the present editors would like to record their grateful thanks to former editor Peter Gathercole for his help, advice and encouragement in the preparation of the present volume. Cornish Archaeology 39–40, 2000–1 Roman Nornour, Isles of Scilly: a reconsideration with a catalogue of Roman finds from the 1969–73 excavations SARNIA BUTCHER, with contributions by R D PENHALLURICK and D F WILLIAMS Summary The nature of the occupation of Nornour in the Roman period is discussed and the finds reviewed in the light of work done since their first publication in Dudley 1968. There are detailed reports on the Roman-period finds from the later excavations and a catalogue of all coins from the site by Roger Penhallurick. Introduction In 1962 some surprising discoveries were made on the remote islet of Nornour, one of the uninhabited Eastern Islands which lie between St Mary’s and St Martin’s on the eastern edge of the Isles of Scilly (Figs 1 and 2; SV 944 148). A large number of Roman brooches were found in and around a group of stone buildings of prehistoric appearance. Subsequent excavations showed that the buildings were part of a settlement originating in the Bronze Age and occupied through the Iron Age, but with very little evidence for domestic occupation in the Roman period. The site had been exposed by high seas during a gale in March 1962 and, as it was vulnerable to further destruction, the Inspectorate of Ancient Monuments funded excavations. These were directed from 1962–66 by Dorothy Dudley (Dudley 1968, with a catalogue of the brooches by M R Hull). In 1969 the sea exposed further buildings which were excavated by the present writer from 1969–73. A report on the prehistoric buildings and finds was published (Butcher 1978) but, since the Roman- period brooch finds were from recent deposits and were of similar types to those published in the first report, it was decided to relate the whole collection to further work being undertaken on Roman brooches in general (Bayley and Butcher 2004). A full re-appraisal of the Nornour brooches based on this work will appear in a forthcoming volume of Cornish Archaeology.
