Vorschlag zur standardisierten Darstellung von Wärmebildern mit QualiThermo
Authors: Tanner Christoph , Lehmann Beat , Frank Thomas , Wakili Karim Ghazi
Published: November 2011

Werden bei Wärmebild‐Interpretationen Angaben zum Wärmedurchgang einzelner Bauteile gemacht, so sollte das nur mit standardisiert dargestellten Thermogrammen geschehen. Der hier vorgestellte Beitrag zeigt, wie die QualiThermo‐Methode dafür die Skalierungs‐Vorgaben liefert. Diese Methodik ist auf rein empirischer Basis entstanden und wurde im Rahmen eines durch das schweizerische Bundesamt für Energie (BFE) geförderten Forschungsprojektes überprüft und weiterentwickelt. Dazu wurde ein Testgebäude über einen längeren Zeitraum wärmetechnisch detailliert ausgemessen und gleichzeitig mit zwei IR‐Kameras beobachtet. Danach konnte mittels Simulationsberechnungen und anschließenden Sensitivitätsanalysen aufgezeigt werden, welche Meteo‐Faktoren für die Genauigkeit der Abschätzung von Wärmeverlusten von Bauteilen entscheidend sind. Mit dem QualiThermo‐Verfahren steht dem Praktiker somit ein Instrument zur Verfügung, welches in beschränktem Rahmen vergleichbare und nachvollziehbare IR‐Bildauswertungen zulässt. Aus den gewonnenen Erkenntnissen und den gesammelten Erfahrungen wurden zudem Hinweise und Tipps für die Praxis abgeleitet, welche dem Thermografen helfen, in einer kalten Winternacht hochwertige und zielgerichtete IR‐Aufnahmen zu erstellen und auszuwerten.

A proposal for standardized thermal images. Statements on the thermal transmittance of building details based on thermal images should be delivered by means of standardized “thermograms“. The presented “QualiThermo” method gives the guidelines for the temperature scaling. The empirically developed method has been validated during a project supported by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE) and enhanced further. For this purpose a test house was instrumented with temperature sensors and measured for several weeks. For certain short periods the building was simultaneously monitored by two infrared cameras. By means of numerical simulations and consecutive sensitivity analysis the major parameters influencing the accuracy of heat losses of building details were identified. “QualiThermo” is a helpful method at the disposal of thermography practitioners which – within certain limits – allows comprehensible and reproducible analysis of thermograms. Out of the findings of this project practical procedures and tips can be deduced to support practitioners producing correct thermograms during a winter night and adequate interpretation.
A survey on hardware‐aware and heterogeneous computing on multicore processors and accelerators
Authors: Buchty Rainer , Heuveline Vincent , Karl Wolfgang , Weiss Jan‐Philipp
Published: November 2011

In the last few years, the landscape of parallel computing has been subject to profound and highly dynamic changes. The paradigm shift towards multicore and manycore technologies coupled with accelerators in a heterogeneous environment is offering a great potential of computing power for scientific and industrial applications. However, for one to take full advantage of these new technologies, holistic approaches coupling the expertise ranging from hardware architecture and software design to numerical algorithms are a pressing necessity. Parallel computing is no longer limited to supercomputers and is now much more diversified – with a multitude of technologies, architectures, and programming approaches leading to increased complexity for developers and engineers.

In this work, we give – from the perspective of numerical simulation and applications – an overview of existing and emerging multicore and manycore technologies as well as accelerator concepts. We emphasize the challenges associated with high‐performance heterogeneous computing and discuss the interfaces needed to fill the gap between the hardware architecture and the implementation of efficient numerical algorithms. By means of this short survey – which stresses the necessity of hardware‐aware computing – we aim at giving assistance to users in scientific computing entering this fascinating field and help understanding associated issues and capabilities.

Electrochemical Quantification of Hygroscopicity of Ionic Liquids with Solution‐Dissolved Potassium Ferricyanide as the Redox Probe
Authors: Qian Qin , Yu Ping , Cheng Hanjun , Wang Xiang , Yang Lifen , Mao Lanqun
Published: November 2011

Quantification of hygroscopicity of ionic liquids (ILs) is of great importance in both fundamental studies and practical applications of ILs. This study demonstrates an electrochemical method for effectively quantifying the hygroscopicity of ILs through electrochemically monitoring water contents absorbed into ILs. The measurements of water content absorbed into the ILs are performed with square wave voltammetry (SWV) based on the water‐induced enhancement of diffusion of solution‐dissolved potassium ferricyanide (K3Fe(CN)6) redox probe. For demonstration, two kinds of ILs with different hygroscopicity (i.e., hydrophilic Bmim+Gly− and hydrophobic Bmim+PF6−) are employed in this study. The dissolution of K3Fe(CN)6 redox probe into ILs is found to have little effect on the hygroscopicity of ILs. The hygroscopicity of ILs is thus able to be quantified by monitoring water content absorbed into ILs as a function of time when ILs are stored at room temperature and standard atmospheric pressure under 55 % relative humidity (RH). Under the conditions employed in this study, the hygroscopicity of Bmim+Gly− and Bmim+PF6− is determined to be 1.33 M per hour and 0.05 M per hour, respectively, which are almost consistent with those measured with Karl Fischer titration under the same conditions. The electrochemical method demonstrated in this study is experimentally simply and environmentally benign and may be potentially extended for general quantification of hygroscopicity of ILs.
Dabigatran etexilate: What do hospitalists need to know?
Authors: Zeidan Amer , Faltas Bishoy , Streiff Michael
Published: November 2011

Dabigatran etexilate (dabigatran) is a novel, oral, reversible, direct thrombin inhibitor that exhibits several advantages over warfarin for therapeutic anticoagulation. The predictable pharmacokinetic profile and minimal food and drug interactions of dabigatran allow for a fixed‐dosing regimen and obviate the need for routine laboratory monitoring. Dabigatran has been approved in the United States for prevention of stroke in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation and in the European Union and other countries for primary prevention of thromboembolic events after total knee or hip replacement. More indications for the use of dabigatran are under review by regulatory authorities and are undergoing active clinical investigation. Due to its rapid onset of action, dabigatran may omit the need for a parenteral anticoagulant for acute treatment of thromboembolic conditions. Because wide‐scale use of dabigatran is expected in the near future, hospitalists need to familiarize themselves with this agent. The lack of a standardized reliable laboratory method to monitor the anticoagulant effects of dabigatran complicates verifying compliance, measuring the effects of drug interactions, evaluating cases of dabigatran toxicity, and conducting preoperative evaluations. The lack of an antidote to dabigatran complicates the management of toxicity and makes it largely supportive. The elimination of dabigatran is dependent on renal function, with the potential for drug accumulation and toxicity with renal impairment. The noninferiority design of the clinical trials that evaluated dabigatran and the absence of long‐term safety and efficacy data and issues related to the cost effectiveness of dabigatran should all be considered when prescribing this agent.

Spectral properties of polarized light from semipolar grown InGaN quantum wells at low temperatures
Authors: Schade L. , Schwarz U. T. , Wernicke T. , Ploch S. , Weyers M. , Kneissl M.
Published: November 2011

The polarization dependent photoluminescence at low temperatures of strained semipolar and nonpolar InGaN quantum wells was studied as a function of the emission wavelength. We found for semipolar QWs that the maximum of the spectral resolved optical polarization is either red‐ or blue‐shifted with respect to the maximum of the emission.

In contrast, the nonpolar emission exhibits no clear maximum. We assign all effects to an inhomogeneous broad‐ ening of the emission caused by indium fluctuations and explain this behavior here in the light of the optical polarization switching. (© 2012 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
Protease and Amylase Stability in the Presence of Chelators Used in Laundry Detergent Applications: Correlation Between Chelator Properties and Enzyme Stability in Liquid Detergents
Authors: Lund Henrik , Kaasgaard Svend Gunnar , Skagerlind Peter , Jorgensen Lene , Jørgensen Christian Isak , van de Weert Marco
Published: November 2011

Chelators are a common ingredient in most laundry detergents. They have a number of different functions such as reducing water hardness, assisting in keeping particulate soil in suspension and the removal of certain stains, thus complementing the action of the anionic surfactants. Another important group of components in a modern liquid detergent is enzymes, mainly proteases and amylases. As the most commonly used enzymes within the detergent industry are dependent on bound calcium ions to maintain conformational stability and function, the presence of both chelators and enzymes in a liquid detergent presents a challenge. The three commonly used Ca2+ chelators: citrate, DTPA (diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid) and HEDP (1‐hydroxyethane‐1,1‐diyl)bis(phosphonic acid), were studied with regard to their impact on protease and amylase stability in buffer and in a model liquid detergent. Enzyme stability was characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and activity studies, and correlated to the chelator‐Ca2+ interaction properties. The results show that a chelator's ability to reduce water hardness and its Ca2+ affinity are in reality two separate aspects in the context of their use in liquid detergents. In the presence of DTPA, stoichiometric surplus of free Ca2+ is required to maintain sufficient amylase and protease stability. In the presence of the weaker chelators, HEDP and citrate, the total Ca2+ concentration is more important to protein stability than stoichiometric balancing between chelator and Ca2+. Thus, for these chelators their total concentration only has a minor impact on the Ca2+ concentration required to maintain or improve enzyme storage stability. The results underline the importance of Ca2+ in liquid detergent formulations, and suggest how proper balancing of chelators and Ca2+ can be used to improve overall enzyme stability.
Academic freedom and international standards in higher education: Contestation in journalism and political science at Moscow State University
Authors: Butterfield Jim , Levintova Ekaterina
Published: November 2011

Recently two new departments, the School of Broadcast Journalism and the Department of Political Science, were created at Moscow State University while leaving the two traditional departments that engendered them intact. The result has been a contestation over academic freedom, standards, and the very definition of both disciplines at Russia’s premier university. The new departments are both closely associated with United Russia, the dominant political party in Russian politics and the political movement designed to promote the priorities and policies of Prime Minister and former President Vladimir Putin. This paper examines the self-definition of each of the four departments by means of open-ended, semi-structured interviews with faculty and content-analytic examination of curricular materials, including syllabi and assigned readings. We conclude that the newer departments are somewhat more attuned to certain aspects of the international standards of both disciplines, but demonstrate little adherence to key ethical and pedagogical norms, leaving them more susceptible to political influence.
A Pair of Fifteenth-Century Spectacle Frames from the City of London
Authors: Rhodes Michael
Published: November 2011

The riveted spectacle frames from Trig Lane (City of London) are the earliest from a deposit of known date. Their method of construction, from two bull metacarpal bones, is suggested, and their form compared with contemporary representations and the only other surviving examples from Wienhausen. Their possible mode of use is deduced from constructional details, contemporary illustrations and literary sources. A cluster of pinholes at the rim ends of both handles were probably intended to extend the field of view, acting as simple lenses, and as such probably represent the earliest European evidence of the utilization of pinholes in an optical instrument. There follows a survey of English medieval documentary references to spectacles which indicates that the Dutch spectacle industry had a vital influence upon developments in this country.
The Romano-Celtic Head from the Bon Marché Site, Gloucester: A Reappraisal
Authors: Greene Kevin T.
Published: November 2011

The limestone head from the Bon Marché site, Gloucester, has long been considered one of the finest examples of Romano-Celtic sculpture. A detailed description is accompanied by a discussion of its original architectural context, and the possibility of a Romanesque date is argued. The essential similarities between many simple facial representations of different dates is, however, emphasized.
The Seals of John IV, Duke of Brittany, 1364–1399
Authors: Jones Michael
Published: November 2011

The seals used by Duke John IV of Brittany (1364–99) are described. Frequent changes in the four main series are linked to his oscillating political fortunes. It is argued that the symbolism in the designs of some of the seals reflects Breton aspirations to independence from the duke's sovereign, the king of France.
A Thirteenth-Century Ismā ‘īlī Ḥammām at Qal‘at al-Kahf
Authors: Phillips John
Published: November 2011

The aim of this paper is to record for the first time the architectural remains of a thirteenth-century public bath (ḥammām) located at the Assassin castle of al-Kahf in the Syrian Jabal Anṣariya. After describing the site, the paper examines the design and layout of the ḥammām and attempts to reconstruct those parts of it which have disappeared either because of structural decay or because of subsequent modifications to the plan. Building materials and decorative techniques are among the topics discussed, and there is an account of the ḥammām's heating apparatus and of the arrangements made to store and articulate its water supply. Two phases of construction are identified in the ḥammām, the second being necessitated, apparently, by a need to restore the building after it had fallen into disrepair at some later stage in its history. Finally, the ḥammām is compared and contrasted with a number of other Islamic public baths in order to establish the extent to which it followed earlier traditions of planning and design.
A Drawing for a Thames Embankment after the Great Fire, 1666, by Robert Hooke

The page of the volume to which the drawing is in part affixed is also inscribed (in the same later hand), ‘An Actual Survey Plann or Draught of a Key to be left open from London Bridge to the Temple.’ (pl. LXVIII).
Anniversary Address
Authors: Myres J. N. L.
Published: November 2011

When I addressed you at the Anniversary Meeting a year ago I mentioned several matters of policy which your Council had been considering, and on which I said that I hoped to have more to tell you in a year's time. The factual record of progress in these matters is mostly contained in the Report of Council and in the Treasurer's statement on the year's accounts which you have already received this afternoon. But I would like to go into a few of them in rather more detail now, partly because you are entitled to have a fuller explanation of their significance than can be given in this way, and partly because this Address, when printed in the Journal, is the most convenient vehicle for conveying such matters to the attention of Fellows who for one reason or another are unable to be present in person at the Anniversary Meeting.
Excavations at Fishbourne, 1961. First Interim Report
Authors: Cunliffe Barry
Published: November 2011

For many years ever-increasing reports of Roman buildings and other finds from the neighbourhood of the village of New Fishbourne, one mile west of Chichester, have indicated the existence of an extensive early Roman settlement in the area (fig. 1). Early in 1960, during the construction of a water main across fields to the north of the main Chichester-Portsmouth road, a trench was cut through a Roman building which was found to incorporate massive masonry blocks and a mosaic floor. The pottery from the trench was predominantly first century. Accordingly, the Chichester Civic Society arranged a three-week trial excavation at Easter 1961, on the results of which further excavations were undertaken during the period 22nd July to 31st August. The work was made possible by generous grants from the Chichester Corporation, the Ministry of Works, the Society of Antiquaries, the Haverfield Trustees, the Marc Fitch Fund, the Sussex Archaeological Society, and by the public's response to the appeal. Nine students, mainly from Cambridge and Oxford, were employed throughout the excavations.
The Great Seal of James II: A Reply to Sir Hilary Jenkinson
Authors: de Beer E. S.
Published: November 2011

The conventional story of the fate of James II's Great Seal, that he cast it into the Thames in the course of his flight from Whitehall in the early hours of 11th December 1688, was challenged by the late Sir Hilary Jenkinson in an enthralling article in the Antiquaries Journal in 1943. He perceived that in design and size the counterseal used by William and Mary for their Great Seal (1689) is wellnigh identical with that used by James II, except that a figure of Mary mounted on horseback has been crudely intruded into it; the inscription is new. With this in mind he examined the statements of a number of contemporary writers and later historians about what happened to James's Great Seal and, finding a number of discrepancies among them, argued that the conventional story is extremely doubtful, if not false, and that William and Mary made use of James's counterseal—the actual matrix—with comparatively slight alterations. In a final section he noted the resemblance between impressions of both seal and counterseal of James II and those of William III's seal and counterseal (1695), and suggested, with only a slight reservation (‘I am afraid we cannot say with absolute certainty that the actual matrices engraved by John Roettier in 1685 were still in existence in 1702’), that William was now using both of James's matrices. The suggestion appears as a statement of fact, with no reservation, in Sir Hilary's Guide to the Seals in the Public Record Office, 1954.
The Early Building-History of St. Andrews Cathedral, Fife, and its Context in Northern Transitional Architecture
Authors: Cambridge Eric
Published: November 2011

Structural and stylistic analysis of the earliest remains of St. Andrews cathedral reveal the following building-sequence: east and south presbytery walls: north presbytery wall: choir-aisle walls: choir piers, south transept west wall, and nave south wall: presbytery clerestory. Documentary evidence implies work began in 1162 and proceeded without major interruptions until 1178 at least. The date and style of those architectural details attributable to the initial constructional phases imply the existence of a hitherto unrecognized phase in the transitional architecture of northern Britain which antedates the Byland group of designs. The influence of St. Andrews on the abbeys of Arbroath and Jedburgh, and the priories of Hexham and Tynemouth emphasizes the seminal importance of its design, which is in part due to its historical position as the national shrine and mother church of the Scottish kingdom.
Excavations at Portchester Castle, Hants 1966–1968: Third Interim Report
Authors: Cunliffe Barry
Published: November 2011

The area-excavation towards the centre of the fort has shown that well-defined traces of occupation exist, ranging from the Roman period to the early nineteenth century. The nature of the Roman occupation, though still uncertain in many aspects, is becoming much clearer and can now be divided into phases tentatively linked to a broad historical framework. Early in the fifth century settlement of Germanic type appeared, with which was associated a gilded bronze disc of apparently sub-Roman form. Then followed more regular Saxon occupation, beginning in the late fifth or early sixth century and probably continuing to the eighth or ninth century. The late Saxon period provides a very detailed picture of a hall with its ancillary buildings, land boundaries, and rubbish-tipping area, all of considerable potential significance on more than a local scale. The later periods are more sporadically represented, but interesting correlations can be made between the archaeological evidence and contemporary documentary and graphic accounts.

To understand the internal landscape of the fort more clearly it is evident that much more of the central area will have to be fully excavated and this will occupy most of the effort throughout the next five seasons' work. At the same time it is planned to continue with the investigations of the Priory and the Castle, and to devote some time to the outstanding problem of the defences.
The Excavation of Two Barrows, One of Saxon Date, at Ford, Laverstock, near Salisbury, Wiltshire
Authors: Musty John
Published: November 2011

Circular soil marks were shown by excavation to mark the line of the ditches of two ploughed-out barrows one of Early Bronze Age Wessex II date, the other Saxon. The grave of the Bronze Age barrow contained a cremation with a pair of bone tweezers. The ditch of the Saxon barrow was interrupted by a causeway and evidence is adduced for an external bank and a small internal mound similar to that of prehistoric disc barrows. The grave was very large and contained the skeleton of a male individual equipped with a hanging bowl containing onions and crab-apples, seax, a shield with sugar-loaf boss, two spears, a buckle, and a bone comb. The burial is of seventh-century date and the seax is of special significance because of the elaborate nature of its scabbard fittings.
Excavations at South Cadbury Castle, 1967: A Summary Report
Authors: Alcock Leslie
Published: November 2011

The situation, character, and antiquarian history of South Cadbury Castle, Somerset, have already been described (Alcock (1967a); (1967b)). A reconnaissance excavation in 1966 hinted that occupation of the hilltop had begun in the Early Neolithic, and after a hiatus had been resumed sometime in the Late Bronze Age. It demonstrated that from early in the pre-Roman Iron Age there was a rich and intensive occupation, during which the defences were probably built. This appeared to have been ended by a sack at the hands of the Roman invaders c. A.D. 45. Late Roman pottery, metalwork, and coins showed that activity was renewed in the third-fourth centuries A.D. Imported pottery of well-known forms proved that the site was reused in the fifth—sixth centuries. Finally, it was refortified with a mortared stone wall as a Late Saxon burh. The reconnaissance also showed that on top of the hill (fig. 1, c) rock-cut pits and post-holes were readily discernible under the turf; that on the slopes within the defences (fig. 1, B) traces of buildings of various dates had survived many centuries of ploughing; and that in the rear of the inner rampart (fig. 1, A), a great depth of hill-wash and plough-soil overlay stratified levels of the Iron Age.
The Zoomorphic Pelta in Romano-British Art
Authors: Thompson F. H.
Published: November 2011

The discovery of two fragmentary inscriptions at the auxiliary fort of Castell Collen (pl. xxia) and the newly discovered legionary fortress of Carpow (pl. xxib) has made a notable addition to the interesting group of Romano-British inscriptions in which the text is flanked by peltae, the terminals of which have been treated as birds' (or griffins') heads. The Castell Collen fragment was found during excavation of the extramural bath building in 1956 where it appeared face downwards, reused as a paving slab; the excavator suggested that it might originally have stood over the east gate of the fort and used it as supporting evidence, for reasons which will be considered below, for the view that the fort was rebuilt in stone in the Antonine period. The Carpow fragment was found during excavations of the east gate in 1964, where presumably it once commemorated the building of the fortress in the Severan period. In neither case is there enough of the inscription to identify the unit explicitly but the presence of the Pegasus and Capricorn emblems, in whole or in part, makes it clear that both fragments are to be attributed to the Second Legion Augusta.
The 1857 Law Farm Hoard
Authors: Coles John M.
Published: November 2011

In the spring of 1857 a ploughman on The Law Farm, in the parish of Urquhart, Morayshire, Scotland, turned up a group of gold ornaments. The exact number of objects is uncertain, and the relics were widely dispersed. This paper records the results of an attempt to discover the whereabouts of the surviving pieces, and makes some suggestions about the significance of the find. Although a considerable number of the torcs have been located, several still remain hidden to view, and it is one of the purposes of this paper to publicize the find in the hope that the missing objects will be identified and made known. I would be grateful for any information which could be sent to me at the Faculty of Archaeology and Anthropology, University of Cambridge.
Early Pre-Roman Iron Age Communities in Eastern England
Authors: Cunliffe Barry
Published: November 2011

The pre-Roman Iron Age communities of eastern England have not received the attention afforded to those of other parts of the British Isles. Admittedly, individual sites such as West Harling and Fengate have been published in detail, and the affinities of their materials have been discussed, but little attempt has been made to study the region as a whole. The nature of the problem, however, was vividly underlined by the admirable summary published by Clarke thirty years ago (Clarke, 1939). Although at the time many scraps of evidence were available, few sites had been adequately excavated, and still fewer published. In recent years the situation has improved and it is now possible to offer a tolerably coherent consideration of the earliest phases in the Iron Age occupation of the region. Even so, the evidence is thin and without support from further controlled excavations the framework offered below can be regarded only as a basis for further discussion.

Henry Lakenham, Marbler of London, and a Tomb Contract of 1376
Authors: Blair John
Published: November 2011

The marblers Richard and Henry Lakenham, perhaps father and son, worked in London during the period c. 1355–87. In 1376 Henry contracted to supply a tomb comprising a freestone effigy resting on a plain marble chest with a moulded ledger and brass shields and inscription. This monument (now lost) seems to have resembled the standard tomb-chests of London ‘series B’ brasses. Henry Lakenham's suggested association with this workshop tradition is strengthened by the fact that William West, a known major producer of ‘B’ brasses in the early fifteenth century, was his apprentice.
Incunabula in the Library of the Society of Antiquaries of London: a Handlist
Authors: Clayton Janet F.
Published: November 2011

The Society's library has grown considerably in size and stature during the 270 or so years of its existence. Reflecting as it does the tastes of the Fellows, many of whom have been bibliophiles both as collectors and writers, it has inevitably acquired by various means a large number of early printed books. Exactly how many was revealed when a shelf list of those published before 1700 was prepared in 1967. Of those fifty-one are incunabula, and they were thought to be of sufficient interest to be published in this extended list for the benefit of Fellows in general and bibliophiles in particular.
A Bronze Cult-Wagon from Lezoux (Puy-de-Dôme) in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford
Authors: Freidin Nicholas
Published: November 2011

The three bronze fragments from Lezoux belong to a particular type of cult-wagon manufactured in central Italy in the seventh century B.C. Their presence in Lower Auvergne, together with other largely contemporary Italo-Etruscan bronzes, suggest that they are a result of a commercial exchange in return for tin ores. Such trade links between France and central and northern Italy were close and continuous in the centuries preceding the foundation of Massalia by the Phocaeans in c. 600 B.C. The cult-wagon from Lezoux is a particular central Italian creation drawing on a variety of Urnfield decorative techniques and symbolic motifs from eastern and central Europe. Whether or not the wagon was used at its ultimate destination for the cult practices intended by its creators remains open to debate.
The Excavation of A Red Hill at Peldon, Essex, With Notes on Some Other Sites
Authors: de Brisay Kay
Published: November 2011

This description of the structure and function of the salt-making site at Peldon, together with comparable evidence from other sites, demonstrates a degree of specialization within Iron Age society with interesting consequences for any view of social structure. The possibility of trade in salt, over and above production for local needs, must also affect our view of the extent to which economic factors could over-ride the basically tribal organization of Britain at this time.
The Monkton Brooch
Authors: Hawkes Sonia Chadwick
Published: November 2011

The Monkton brooch was found in 1971 when mechanical trench digging disturbed a large Anglo-Saxon cemetery north of Monkton village on Thanet, east Kent. It is a large composite disc brooch made of electrum, silver, and gilded bronze, set with garnets, blue glass, and shell Consideration of its design, construction, and very pale, silver-debased, gold suggests that it was made no earlier than c. A.D. 640–50 and is amongst the latest of Kentish composite brooches.
A Roman Barrow at Knob's Crook, Woodlands, Dorset
Authors: Fowler P. J.
Published: November 2011

A small round barrow near Knob's Crook, Woodlands, Dorset, covered three pits, the largest containing a cremation burial accompanied by samian ware dated to C. A.D. 70–85, broken metal and steatite objects, and an unburnt trepanned roundel. A section was cut through the bank and ditch around one of the supposedly Roman barrows at Badbury Rings, Dorset (Appendix I), in re-examining the evidence for Roman barrows in Wessex (Appendix II). For comparison, details of three of the most recently excavated Roman barrows in England have been summarized (Appendix III).
Statuettes of Horsemen and Horses and other Votive Objects from Brigstock, Northants
Authors: Taylor M. V.
Published: November 2011

In 1956–7 a bronze statuette of horse and rider and another bronze object (a poletip or rattle) were found in a field a quarter of a mile south-west of Luscotes Lodge, Brigstock, and were published in Antiq. Journ. xxxvii, 71 with pi. xviii. In June 1958 a bronze statuette, cast solid, of a second horse, without rider, was found in the same field and is described below (no. 1). These finds seemed to confirm the possibility of a shrine or temple in the neighbourhood, and in consequence when deep ploughing seemed imminent the excavations described above by Mr. Greenfield were undertaken by the Ministry of Public Building and Works. In the course of this work further votive objects, including a third bronze statuette of horse and rider were discovered as recorded above. Of these, the statuettes and certain other objects form the subject of the following article.
The Early Romanesque Tower at Restenneth Priory, Angus
Authors: Simpson W. Douglas
Published: November 2011

In the latter part of the seventh century the power of the Anglian kingdom of Northumbria reached its height. Upon its northern frontier, over against the Picts, a vigorous forward policy was adopted; and here, as so often in our early history, the Roman Church revealed herself as the ally of the State. Some part of the Pictish borderlands, south of the Forth, had by this time passed under Northumbrian control; and on the strength of this an Anglian churchman, Trumwin, was planted in 681 at Abercorn, with the portentous title of ‘Bishop of the Picts’. The Northumbrian Church thus intruded at Abercorn has left its monuments today in a hog-backed stone and some cross shafts, one of great beauty showing among its enrichments the characteristic Anglian vine-scroll. These ecclesiastical measures were the prelude to an invasion of Pictland on a great scale, upon which the whole power of the Northumbrian kingdom was bent under its able and warlike monarch, Egfrith. But the High King of the Picts, Brude MacBile, proved himself equal to the crisis. At the famous battle of Dunnichen, or Nechtan's Mere, on Saturday, 20th May 685, he utterly destroyed the Anglian army of invasion—Egfrith and the flower of his nobles being numbered among the slain. This memorable victory dealt a blow at the power of Northumberland from which that haughty and resplendent kingdom never recovered; and its rapid military, political, spiritual, and moral decline is rightly dated from that event.
An Iron Cauldron-Rim from Letchworth, Herts
Authors: Moss-Eccardt John
Published: November 2011

During excavations carried out for Letchworth Museum with the support of the Ministry of Public Building and Works in August 1961, the iron rim of a cauldron was discovered in the ditch of an Early Iron Age enclosure (fig. 1). The latter formed part of a large settlement site at Blackhorse Road which is situated about a mile from the centre of Letchworth (Nat. Grid. Ref. TL/233339). The cauldron-rim was joined to an iron collar and still retained its two ring-handles: the fragment was fairly complete (pl. XLV a).
A Helmet from Upper Winchendon, Buckinghamshire

Published: November 2011

Rather more than forty years ago the late Francis Henry Cripps-Day compiled a county-by-county survey of the weapons and armour still to be found in English churches, either as parish armour, kept there originally against a moment of national emergency, or as a memorial to some person of quality. It appeared as an appendix to the Record of European Armour and Arms which had been left unfinished by Sir Guy Laking at the time of his death, and which Mr. Cripps-Day completed and saw through the press. The information in this appendix was gathered in from various sources, and the editor gave due credit to the individual observers who had had the perception to notice odd helmets or swords in this church or that, and had taken the trouble to communicate with him upon the subject.
William Brown's Hospital at Stamford: A Note on its Early History and the Date of the Buildings
Authors: Newton P. A.
Published: November 2011

The documentary evidence relating to the foundation and early history of the almshouse founded by William Brown at Stamford is somewhat extensive and contradictory. The project was in hand towards the end of Edward IV's reign: an undated petition for letters patent for licence to establish the almshouse is extant, wherein reference is made to its chapel as being ‘lately built’. There is no record of this petition having been presented. However, on 27 January 1485 William Brown was authorized by letters patent to found and endow the almshouse. Here again the chapel and other houses and buildings are referred to as ‘newly built’. William Brown and his wife Margaret both died in 1489. The management of the hospital then passed to Thomas Stokke, brother of Margaret Brown. He obtained fresh letters patent from Henry VII on 28th November 1493. The text of these letters patent contradicts the licence of 1485 as it states: ‘Whereas William Browne of Staunford, county Lincoln, one of the Staple of Calais, had proposed to build a chapel and houses in the town of Staunford for divers chaplains and poor of both sexes for an almshouse, but was prevented by death, licence for Thomas Stokke, clerk, the brother of Dame Margaret Browne, relict of the said William Browne and executrix of the will of the said William, to found an almshouse at Staunford aforesaid, (etc.)’. The chapel was consecrated on 22nd December 1494 and Thomas Stokke issued the Statutes for the management of the hospital on 9th October 1495.
The mail-maker's technique
Authors: Burgess E. Martin
Published: November 2011

Mail has been used since very early times and it is therefore surprising that so little is known about the methods and tools used for its construction. As it appeared unlikely that original tools or further information would come to light, recent research has been carried out on new lines. It was hoped that the methods found to be the most practical would produce mail similar in appearance to the medieval riveted mail. These methods would have to be accessible to armourers of the past and as far as possible be methods still in use in the present day, for basic techniques seldom die out. Many of these techniques are so fundamental that it is doubtful if they have changed much in the last 2,000 years. Because so much mail was produced the method would have to be a fast one allowing for division of labour within the workshop. The most skilled task, which is the final linking, would have to be done by the master craftsman, who could be kept supplied with the necessary rings and rivets. The early stages in the production of mail—the simple, laborious tasks—would be left to apprentices and assistants. Such a system is often found in a small workshop.
Anniversary Address

Published: November 2011

I have once more to thank you for the renewal of your confidence and to express my intention of continuing to serve the interests of the Society with such ability as I possess. There never was a period when our work was more necessary, for the destruction brought by peace is even greater than the destruction wrought by war on the visible evidence of past history. The excavation of sites before they are built over or used for other purposes is a matter of constant urgency. The destruction of country houses no longer required for their original purpose must be controlled. But as our material becomes restricted, the increasing knowledge which we acquire through research throws ever more light on the past. The task of this Society, and it has never been pursued with greater zeal, is the dissemination and enlargement of our knowledge of the cultures of the past of all dates and in all lands.
The Price family of glass-painters
Authors: Knowles John A.
Published: November 2011

The work of the Price family, William known as ‘the elder’, Joshua, and William the younger, is of considerable interest in the history of glass-painting in England, not merely because they lived during a period in which, for lack of patronage, glass-painters were few, but from the degree of accomplishment, both artistic and technical, shown in their work.
A glass bowl of Dark Age date and some medieval grave-finds from Shaftesbury Abbey
Authors: Harden D. B.
Published: November 2011

Towards the end of 1951 the Countess of Shaftesbury presented to the Dean and Chapter of Winchester a brass-bound wooden casket of nineteenth-century neo-Gothic design which contained a glass bowl and several other ancient objects. The casket and its contents had only recently come into Lady Shaftesbury's own possession, but they had been in the possession of the Grosvenor family (to which she belongs) for some time before that.
The Neolithic causewayed camp at Abingdon, Berks.
Authors: Case Humphrey
Published: November 2011

The situation of the Neolithic Causewayed camp at Abingdon, discovered by the Rev. Charles Overy and made famous by the late Mr. E. T. Leeds, is well known and only requires summarizing. It lies on a spur bounded by the valleys of two brooks at the south edge of an expanse of Summertown-Radley terrace gravel, three-quarters of a mile north of the Thames. The two concentric ditches, to which reference is made below, lay between the brooks; a third similar ditch, of which pit A was possibly a section, may have lain to the south. The site was at its highest (about 202 ft. O.D.) at about the centre of arc of the outer ditch, whence there was a gentle southerly slope. The expanses of Summertown-Radley gravel in the Oxford region have been found rich in prehistoric finds, that between Radley and Abingdon being no exception.

I must first express to you a double debt of gratitude. You most unexpectedly elected me at our last anniversary; and you have failed to avail yourselves of the amended statutes on nominations, and have honoured me by re-election this year. I thank you sincerely; and I thank you still more for the steady and unfailing encouragement and support I have received from everyone, officers, Fellows, and staff.
The Old Deanery, Salisbury
Authors: Drinkwater Norman
Published: November 2011

An inspection of the Old Deanery in 1948 failed, for some reason unknown, to disclose the early date of the building. Neither the medieval form of the plan nor the antiquity of the Hall roof were recognized. In default of any clear case for preservation on archaeological grounds, and though the case on scenic grounds was very strong, the decision was made to demolish the building to make way sooner or later for the development of a Ladies' Training College, despite pleas for preservation from the Local Planning Authority and from Mr. H. de S. Shortt, Curator of the Salisbury Museum.
Neolithic Occupation Sites in East Kent
Authors: Dunning G. C.
Published: November 2011

The purpose of this paper is to place on record several discoveries of Neolithic pottery and flint implements which have been made in East Kent during the past seventy years. The preservation of most of the pottery is due to our late Fellow Mr. W. P. D. Stebbing of Upper Deal, who also possessed a manuscript notebook kept by the late Captain C. F. Newington giving details of the finds. Mr. Stebbing also conducted a rescue excavation of the pit at Ramsgate, and kept the fragments of pot and parts of two human skulls. On the other hand, the bulk of the flint implements had been given on various occasions to the Corporation of Deal, and formed part of a collection of local antiquities housed in the Town Hall at Deal.
The Excavation of an Iron Age Round Barrow near Handley, Dorset, 1969
Authors: White D. A.
Published: November 2011

The Handley barrow (no. 19 on Grinsell's list) had a small, low, round mound and a surrounding ditch that was almost square in plan. The mound covered a cremation pyre, among the ashes of which were found potsherds of probable Iron Age date.
July 1878: Lukis and Dryden in Drente
Authors: Bakker J. A.
Published: November 2011

In 1878 the Society of Antiquaries, acknowledging the need for the protection of prehistoric monuments, delegated the Revd. W. C. Lukis and Sir Henry Dryden to the Netherlands to document the megalithic chamber tombs, or hunebedden, of Drente. In the face of well-meaning but erratic local ‘restoration’, Lukis and Dryden produced plans, descriptions and drawings of forty tombs and pottery from them. Although these remained unpublished, the copies sent to Assen helped to establish the high standard of A. E. van Giffen's Atlas and description of The Hunebeds in the Netherlands (1925, 1927).
Preliminary Report on the Excavation of a Cotswold-Severn Tomb at Hazleton, Gloucestershire
Authors: Saville Alan
Published: November 2011

Hazleton North Cotswold-Severn tomb was totally excavated between 1979 and 1982. It was shown to be a laterally chambered cairn of complex cellular construction with a blank dry-stone forecourt wall. The two chambered areas, located centrally within the cairn, contained well-preserved burial deposits. Below the cairn the buried soil contained evidence for previous Mesolithic and Neolithic occupation.
Rhodes and the origin of the bastion
Authors: O'Neil B. H. St. J.
Published: November 2011

The delightful island of Rhodes is famous for a variety of reasons, and not least because of its possession for over two centuries by the Knights Hospitallers or Knights of St. John. After retreating from the Holy Land the Knights took Rhodes from the Byzantine Empire in 1309; they left it on 1st January 1523, according to the terms of the capitulation, after a most arduous siege by the Turks in the preceding year. They had also been besieged by the Turks in 1320, by the Egyptians in 1444, and by the Turks again in 1480. These sieges and the almost constant danger of attack by hostile neighbours laid upon the Knights the necessity of maintaining their defences in a high state of readiness. The mainland of Asia Minor is normally visible from the island at a distance of twelve miles.
