  • The Iron Age Tom Moore
    The Iron Age Tom Moore INTRODUCfiON In the twenty years since Alan Saville's (1984) review of the Iron Age in Gloucestershire much has happened in Iron-Age archaeology, both in the region and beyond.1 Saville's paper marked an important point in Iron-Age studies in Gloucestershire and was matched by an increasing level of research both regionally and nationally. The mid 1980s saw a number of discussions of the Iron Age in the county, including those by Cunliffe (1984b) and Darvill (1987), whilst reviews were conducted for Avon (Burrow 1987) and Somerset (Cunliffe 1982). At the same time significant advances and developments in British Iron-Age studies as a whole had a direct impact on how the period was viewed in the region. Richard Hingley's (1984) examination of the Iron-Age landscapes of Oxfordshire suggested a division between more integrated unenclosed communities in the Upper Thames Valley and isolated enclosure communities on the Cotswold uplands, arguing for very different social systems in the two areas. In contrast, Barry Cunliffe' s model ( 1984a; 1991 ), based on his work at Danebury, Hampshire, suggested a hierarchical Iron-Age society centred on hillforts directly influencing how hillforts and social organisation in the Cotswolds have been understood (Darvill1987; Saville 1984). Together these studies have set the agenda for how the 1st millennium BC in the region is regarded and their influence can be felt in more recent syntheses (e.g. Clarke 1993). Since 1984, however, our perception of Iron-Age societies has been radically altered. In particular, the role of hillforts as central places at the top of a hierarchical settlement pattern has been substantially challenged (Hill 1996).

  • Approaches to Building Flood Resilience for Communities
    Approaches to building flood resilience for Communities A Worcestershire case study exploring issues and opportunities for the historic environment in relation to flooding Summary In 2014/15 Historic England commissioned Worcestershire Archive and Archaeology Service, in collaboration with Dr Andy Howard of Landscape Research and Management, and community and organisational partners, to investigate the direct and indirect effects of flooding, to the county's historic environment and landscape character. A key recommendation of the project was the need to further investigate how the historic environment profession can better engage with communities and individuals looking to build resilience and plan for future flood events. This report further investigates the relationships between historic environment professionals, communities and 'hard to reach' groups, including insurance companies, loss adjustors, structural engineers and building contractors. The issues highlighted, through surveys and communications, are laid out alongside case studies of, and opportunities for, good practice. The surveys, discussions with local communities and examples of existing projects, show that there is a lot that can be achieved in terms of empowering communities to build resilience for the future, and a lot that the historic environment profession can do to support this. At an individual building level there are problems with a lack of understanding of traditional construction methods by many of the parties pushing for property-level interventions. The historic environment profession needs to disseminate our knowledge and advice in better ways because the evidence shows that the owners and custodians of these properties are keen to receive it. On a wider scale whole-catchment projects offer an opportunity for communities to be involved in reducing and mitigating flood risk through enhancement of the natural and historic environment.
