title: Fieldwalking the cropmark landscape on the Sherwood Sandstone of Nottinghamshire

description: Cropmarks on the Sherwood Sandstone of Notts, discovered and published by Derrick Riley, are analyzed in combination with artefacts recovered through a programme of fieldwalking. A coherent landscape of fields, mostly laid out in a pattern resembling brickwork, is seen to be integrated with small enclosures, presumed farmsteads, situated at approximately 1km apart where the cropmarks are best represented. Fieldwalking covered 491 hectares in 97 areas, including 76 of the enclosures plus a sample of related fields. It was undertaken in transects of 10m width, plotting all artefacts individually. The distributions of Romano-British artefacts are assessed in relation to the morphology of the cropmarks. Most numerous are potsherds ranging from diffuse scatters to well-defined clusters, mostly from the sites of the enclosures. Other finds include metalwork (coins, lead-weights/spindle-whorls, fragmentary brooches), quernstones and a single bead. Fire-cracked pebbles seem to coincide with some enclosures.

title: Mapping the Medieval Townscape: a digital atlas of the new towns of Edward I

description: This resource derives from the Mapping the medieval urban landscape research project which began in 2003 with two years funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council. The project focused on a group of 'new towns' situated in Wales and England and established in the reign of King Edward I. A digital historical atlas of these new towns is made available here. It contains information about each of the towns studied, including an interpretative essay and detailed maps of how the towns looked at around the time they were founded. As well as the atlas text and images there is also an accessible and searchable GIS database of all the towns with historical maps and archaeological data. For those who wish to conduct their own analyses of our project data there are also datasets of raw data which are downloadable.

title: Neanderthal climate preferences and tolerances: the need for a better chronology

description: This project aimed to investigate whether the present chronological data for late Mousterian sites in Europe are biasing our perception of Neanderthal populations by making them appear more cold-adapted than the incoming anatomically modern Early Upper Palaeolithic humans. In this study we focused on the part of the Neanderthal world that experienced the most continental climatic environments - namely, European Russia north of the Black Sea - for it is in such a region that the environmental preferences, in particular tolerance to temperature, are most discernible. By applying a series of cross-validated non-14C chronological methodologies (OSL, TL, palaeomagnetic intensity, and tephrostratigraphy) to late Middle Palaeolithic assemblages the project sought to identify spatial and temporal patterning which, when correlated with local environmental proxies and wider climate data, would provide a better understanding of Neanderthal climate tolerances. The project has produced a suite of new age determinations from a selection of archaeological sites that had previously undergone investigation and which were available to sample without requiring new excavations; the corresponding data on the cultural, lithic and environmental associations of the new age measurements derive mostly from earlier existing studies.

title: Modelling Exclusion Zones for Marine Aggregate Dredging

description: The Modelling Exclusion Zones for Marine Aggregate Dredging project is funded through the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund as disbursed by English Heritage. The project investigates the potential impact of aggregate dredging on submerged archaeological sites (principally but not exclusively wreck) through an enhanced understanding of the physical processes of site formation. This information will be used in turn to define exclusion zones around such sites both within and adjacent to licensed aggregate dredging areas, as well as any proximal inter-tidal sites.

title: Wasperton Anglo-Saxon Cemetery

description: The archaeological site found at Wasperton on the River Avon in central England (SP 2658) was investigated over several years. But the opportunity was seized, and its reward was not only the complete excavation of an early medieval cemetery but of its setting in an extensive piece of prehistoric landscape (Fig 1/1). The excavated area, extending for 10 ha around the cemetery, included a Neolithic hengi-form enclosure and possible long barrow, at least one early Bronze Age burial mound, a later Bronze Age/IA double-ditched enclosure, a number of IA farmsteads, an IA/RB field system and a late Roman centre of agri-business with corn-driers, ovens and wells.

title: Roman Piercebridge

description: This project publishes the results of the excavations carried out by Dennis Harding and Peter Scott between 1969 and 1981.

The site lies at the point where Dere Street, one of the main north/south Roman roads crosses the River Tees (excavated area centring on NGR NZ452115). There is a Roman fort on the north bank, the interior of which is now occupied by the modern village of Piercebridge. To the east is an area of civil settlement in the Tofts Field. South of the river there was further civil settlement along the line of Dere Street and, east of that at Holme House, a native roundhouse developed into one of the most northerly Roman villas known in England.

title: Novum Inventorium Sepulchrale - Kentish Anglo-Saxon graves and grave-goods in the Sonia Hawkes archive

description: The county of Kent is exceptionally rich in Anglo-Saxon cemeteries. Systematic excavations of some of these cemeteries in the 18th and early 19th centuries provided a wealth of finds that reflect Kent's close political and economic ties to the Frankish world in the 5th to 7th centuries. Excavations by the Revd Bryan Faussett in 1757-73 uncovered c. 750 graves from sites at Crundale, Guilton, Kingston Down, Bishopsbourne, Barfrestone and Sibertswold Downs, Bekesbourne and Chartham Down. Further excavations, in particular those carried out at Bifrons and Sarre in the 19th century, raised the number of excavated graves to well over 1000. The bulk of information was made available to subscribers in the Inventorium Sepulchrale (Faussett 1856) and in the journal Archaeologia Cantiana.

In 1961, the need to re-publish this important material to a modern standard led Sonia Hawkes of the University of Oxford's Institute of Archaeology to undertake the publication of Kentish cemeteries as the first stage of a national monograph series, the Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Graves and Grave-Goods. Work carried out between 1961 and 1971 dealt with the c. 1140 graves and large numbers of unassociated objects from Bifrons, Sarre and the seven sites excavated by Faussett, resulting in an extensive archive comprising object descriptions, drawings, photographs and X-rays. The Bifrons burials have been posthumously published elsewhere (Hawkes 2000). This website, made possible by a grant from the is Arts and Humanities Research Council, makes the remainder of the archive widely available for the first time. It is hoped that it will enable future generations of researchers to gain a better understanding of the origins of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms.

title: Hayton Roman Pottery Database

description: This project originated as an English Heritage funded project to develop an easy way of depositing the digital archive generated by the cataloguing of pottery. Another aspect of the project was to try to attempt to address the long standing tension inherent in the dissemination and publication of pottery within the context of archaeological reports, not only to pottery specialists but the audiences beyond. The dataset used for this project was pottery discovered during excavations at the late Iron Age/Romano-British settlement of Hayton in East Yorkshire.

title: Thornhill Farm, Fairford, Gloucestershire

description: Between 1979 and 1989 the Oxford Archaeological Unit (now Oxford Archaeology) undertook extensive excavations of a late prehistoric cropmark complex at Claydon Pike and Thornhill Farm, Fairford. The excavation of the western element of the complex, Thornhill Farm, forms the subject of the current report.  The excavations were implemented with the co-operation of the Amey Roadstone Corporation (ARC) and formed part of a co-ordinated archaeological response to the threat posed by gravel extraction during the creation of the Cotswold Water Park. The work at Thornhill involved the excavation of numerous evaluation trenches, four open area excavations and extensive salvage operations over a total area of approximately 40.5 ha.

title: Koros culture settlement, subsistence and environment: investigations of the Early Neolithic Koros culture site of Ecsegfalva 23, Co. Bekes, Hungary

description: This dataset comes from the excavations in 1999-2001 at Ecsegfalva. Apart from a small sondage at Ecsegfalva 18, these consisted of areas within Ecsegfalva 23: A, B and C. Since fine stratigraphic control was a principal objective of the project, we used a context system for recording what proved to be complex deposits. The areas were dug in small individual units, and many context numbers were used. A simplified version is given in the published report. The files available here give details of all the contexts used, and their principal relationships as set out in simple Harris matrices.

title: Transition Zone Mapping for Marine-Terrestrial Archaeological Continuity (Contiguous Palaeo-Landscape Reconstruction)

description: The primary objective of this project was to produce a contiguous palaeo-landscape reconstruction across the marine to terrestrial boundary therefore enhancing the archaeological continuity across space and through time within an area of landscape previously examined through a series a stand-alone investigations. It is suggested that only by completing this successfully will marine sites that are of present and future concern to aggregate dredging, be fully interpreted with their correct archaeological context. Furthermore, this will importantly reduce the regional uncertainty associated with the interpretation of marine sites thus allowing marine sites to fully contribute to not only the local palaeo-landscape reconstructions but also the regional and National understanding of their archaeological significance. The project investigated this methodology on an area in the West Sussex coastal corridor between Havant and the Arun Valley.
