Oxbow Book News 99 OXBOW BOOK NEWS 99 New and forthcoming titles for Autumn 2017 Archaeology The Ancient World Greece and Rome The Middle Ages Welcome to the ninety-ninth edition of the Oxbow Book News, packed as ever with all of the latest archaeological, classical and medieval releases, as well as a cracking selection of new bargain books. You will find titles ranging in scale from a new synthesis covering two and a half million years of environmental change in the Levant, to reports covering a single site, or monographs focusing on the activities of a single family. We have two major publications in the Oxbow list coming up in early 2018. The use of a Bayesian statistical framework in the interpretation of radiocarbon dates has revolutionised our sense of scale in the Neolithic. Where once it was necessary to think in terms of thousands of years, it is now becoming possible to think in terms of centuries or even single generations. In The Times of their Lives: Hunting History in the Archaeology of Neolithic Europe Alasdair Whittle explains this dramatic leap forward, and teases out the implications for our understanding of sequences and rhythms of change in the European Neolithic. The discovery of two mass burials in the north-east of England formed the starting point which led to Lost Lives, New Voices: Unlocking the Stories of the Scottish Soldiers at the Battle of Dunbar 1650 by Richard Annis, Anwen Caffell, Chris Gerrard, Pam Graves and Andrew Millard. The skeletons proved to be the remains of prisoners captured and executed after the battle, and the book brings together archaeologists and historians to reconstruct their lives, and also those of the prisoners who survived. The bargain section to be found in the centre of the catalogue is also a real highlight, with a superb range of new deals and big savings to be had, including over twenty of our own titles reduced in price for the first time. I hope that you find something to tempt you. Cover Image: Incomplete circle of stones TF0-38 west of TF1 Study Area (Northern Sector).

  • River Witham the Source of the 8Th Longest River Wholly in England Is
    River Witham The source of the 8th longest river wholly in England is just outside the county, Lincolnshire, through which it follows almost all of a 132km course to the sea, which is shown on the map which accompanies Table Wi1 at the end of the document. Three kilometres west of the village of South Witham, on a minor road called Fosse Lane, a sign points west over a stile to a nature reserve. There, the borders of 3 counties, Lincolnshire, Rutland and Leicestershire meet. The reserve is called Cribb’s Meadow, named for a famous prize fighter of the early 19th century; at first sight a bizarre choice at such a location, though there is a rational explanation. It was known as Thistleton Gap when Tom Cribb had a victory here in a world championship boxing match against an American, Tom Molineaux, on 28th September 1811; presumably it was the only time he was near the place, as he was a Bristolian who lived much of his life in London. The organisers of bare-knuckle fights favoured venues at such meeting points of counties, which were distant from centres of population; they aimed to confuse Justices of the Peace who had a duty to interrupt the illegal contests. Even if the responsible Justices managed to attend and intervene, a contest might be restarted nearby, by slipping over the border into a different jurisdiction. In this fight, which bore little resemblance to the largely sanitised boxing matches of today, it is certain that heavy blows were landed, blood was drawn, and money changed hands, before Cribb won in 11 rounds; a relatively short fight, as it had taken him over 30 rounds to beat the same opponent at the end of the previous year to win his title.

This book cannot be expected to please everybody, and it makes no attempt to conciliate those who prefer sentiment to truth, or who allow their reading of historical events to be distorted by present-day controversies, whether ecclesiastical or political. In that respect it tries to live up to the dictum of Samuel Butler that 'he excels most who hits the golden mean most exactly in the middle'.
