Experimentelle Archäologie (1990)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Peter J. Reynolds.

This article reports on agricultural experiments on the Butser Ancient Farm, testing emmer and spelt. The article introduces Butser Ancient Farm, including the four locations, which are in four different climatic zones. Some of these agricultural lands seem inhospitable. The soil is described in detail in order to understand agricultural changes and how tools affected the soil. Another debate in the articles focuses on the treatment of weeds. Two constant factors were maintained throughout...

Fears, Frontiers, and Third Spaces: Rethinking Colonial Encounters in the Early Modern British Atlantic (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Audrey Horning.

The concept of the frontier is often understood to be by definition one sided- one group’s frontier is of course another’s homeland. The idea of the frontier is thus the sign of a failed imagination; a mote in the eye blocking perspective. But the notion of a frontier can also convey liminality and lawlessness, a place apart from rules and regulations, laws and orders. If there is any truth in this construction, then frontiers might also be understood as third spaces. In this paper I will...

Foresight, threat analysis and risk assessment of the marine historic environment of England: English Heritage’s development of new approaches and tools to aid heritage management (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ian Oxley.

Natural processes and human activity impact on our heritage. Focussing on those areas and types of heritage that are least understood, most threatened, most significant and/or most valued by communities, English Heritage’s National Heritage Protection Plan provides a framework to further the protection, management and presentation of England’s historic environment. Formal processes of foresight, threat analysis and risk assessment are considered to be fundamental to delivering the Plan...

Forts, Firebases and Art: ways of seeing the conflict landscape of Africa’s last colony – Western Sahara (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Salvatore Garfi.

Spain colonised Western Sahara in 1884. Any Spanish sense of place in the territory was limited until the French ‘pacified’ the region in 1934, and the colony was girdled by French and Spanish forts. Spain ceded the colony to Morocco and Mauritania in 1975, and Spain’s disarticulated outposts were replaced by a matrix of earth and stone defensive walls (berms), constructed by the new colonizing power, Morocco, in its bid to secure the territory from nationalist Polisario fighters. Viewing these...

Fragile Narratives: Rewriting Ceramic History (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only David Barker.

The production process represents the beginning of the life of material things. In this paper I shall argue that the archaeology of pottery production sites is more than ‘industrial archaeology’ in the traditional sense of the term, but rather the archaeology of industrial production in the widest sense. The evidence derived from ceramic waste recovered from production site excavations informs an understanding of the life cycles of those products which progressed beyond the factory gate to the...

From bad habits to good manners: developing bourgeois lifestyles in late 19th century Bogota (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jimena Lobo Guerrero Arenas.

In Bogotá, the capital city of Colombia, the results of archaeoological work and documentary sources, especially those relating to cadastral history, place the so called "House of the Typographer" as an example of the heterogeneity of dissimilar economic conditions of each historical time and of each individual families. By examining in detail these results it is possible to find changes in the conception of what might be seen as a desirable lifestyle as it is reproduced in close...

From Brixton to Paisley Park: Tribute shrines to rock legends in the UK and USA (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Paul M Graves-Brown. Hilary Orange.

On 10th January 2016, many people flocked to Brixton, London to leave tributes in front of a mural depicting Aladdin Sane, a character developed by the musician David Bowie, who had died that day. The same acts of pilgrimage were seen in April 2016 when ‘Prince’ Rogers Nelson died at his private estate in Minnesota; fans laid flowers and tied purple balloons to perimeter fencing. Such practices of public grieving can tell us a good deal about attitudes to death, commemoration and celebrity. In...

From personal accounts to bureaucratic standards: administration reform in nineteenth century asylums (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Katherine Fennelly.

Utilising methods drawn from history, archaeology and codicology, this paper will consider the changes and challenges brought about by standardisation of administrative paperwork in public asylums in the nineteenth century. This is drawn from current PhD research based on asylum planning, management and administration in the British Isles.

From Pests to Pets: social and cultural perceptions of animals in post-medieval urban centres (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Rebecca Gordon.

Cats, dogs, pigs and other animals lived in close proximity to people in post-medieval cities and were probably viewed in terms of their respective functions. For example, cats were kept to deter rodents and exploited for their fur, dogs were protectors of the home and pigs were not only food, but helped to reduce the amount of rubbish where they were kept. However, perceptions and treatment of urban animals were far from static. The emergent animal welfare movement and legislation heralded a...

From Pioneers to Seasoned Professionals: 50 years of the Society for Post-Medieval Archaeology (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Harold Mytum.

2016 marks the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the Society for Post-Medieval Archaeology. The society is marking this achievement in a number of ways, including a major conference at Sheffield and a special issue of the journal Post-Medieval Archaeology. This poster reveals some of the features of the Society’s history, allowing comparisons and contrasts with the experiences of the SHA. From a side-line interest of museum professionals and amateurs, post-medieval archaeology has grown and...

From Vienna to Shangri-La: competing visions of the modern and new in Birmingham’s municipal housing (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Emma Dwyer.

During the 1920s and 1930s local authorities from across Britain visited municipal housing schemes in continental Europe to learn more about the provision of new homes. This included representatives from Birmingham, Britain’s second-largest city, in the midst of replacing crowded urban dwellings. The Birmingham Corporation was particularly impressed by inner-city estates in Hamburg, Vienna and Prague, illustrating their recommendations with photographs of flowerbeds, communal facilities and...

Galleons for a Transatlantic World (2013)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jon Adams.

Galleons for a Transatlantic World The late 16th and early 17th centuries was a period in which English shipping saw the emergence of what might be termed a second generation of carvel construction in which the ‘galleon’ was developed from the carrack derivatives and galleases of Henry VIII’s time. Nowhere are these more beautifully portrayed than in Matthew Baker’s Fragments of Ancient English Shipwrightry preserved in the Pepys Library, Magdalene College, Cambridge. But astonishingly the...

Gendering the Post-Conflict City: Memory, Memorialisation and Commemoration in Belfast (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Laura McAtackney.

Belfast has become synonymous with the study of insidious, civil conflict; especially how ethnic, political and religious divisions are materialized and reproduced in the contemporary city. The impact of focusing on segregation and sectarianism has dominated our understandings of the fractured city leaving the issue of gender sidelined. This paper aims to examine the contemporary city through the lens of competing placemaking strategies: the official implanting of contemporary art and the...
