title: Cossington, Platts Lane, Leicestershire

description: Archaeological work during gravel quarrying at Cossington, Leicestershire, included the excavation of three Bronze Age round barrows (two excavated in 1976, the third in 1999), part of a dispersed barrow cemetery, located at the confluence of the Rivers Soar and Wreake. Barrow 1 comprised a single recut ring ditch, Barrow 2 a double ring-ditch. Barrow 1 was associated with a central feature and an Early Bronze Age cremation cemetery that grew around the south-eastern edge of the monument. Within Barrow 2, a sequence of Early Bronze Age burials included a cremation burial associated with Beaker pottery sherds, the crouched inhumation of a young child with associated grave goods, and a cremation burial accompanied by a Collared Urn. Barrow 3 consisted of a single re-cut ring ditch and the surviving vestiges of an earthen mound.

In the Iron Age, a settlement grew up around the remains of Barrow 3, represented by a roundhouse to the west of the monument and enclosures to the north. The barrow mound apparently retained some significance at this time, as it was the setting for several acts of deliberate burial of ceramic sherds and whole pottery vessels. This carried on into the Roman period when similar traditions appear to have been important and further deliberate pottery burials took place. Barrow 3 acquired fresh significance in the early Anglo-Saxon period when a settlement was established close to the monument. The mound now formed the focus for a small inhumation cemetery comprising at least four burials containing spears, knives, and other metal grave goods.

The archaeological work was funded by Wanlip Gravel Company, English Heritage, and University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS). The post-excavation work - funded by the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund through English Heritage - has resulted in the following publication:

title: Technologies of enchantment: Celtic Art in Iron Age and Roman Britain

description: This AHRC funded project entitled 'Technologies of enchantment: Celtic Art in Iron Age and Roman Britain' - aimed to investigate the artefacts found in Britain between about 300 BC and 150 AD which have come to be known as 'Celtic Art'. Although, in recent years, questions have been raised about whether the Celts actually did exist as a distinct group of people, the term 'Celtic Art' continues to be used to describe a group of distinctively decorated objects found right across Europe during the later Iron Age and early Roman periods.

The Celtic Art style incorporates abstract patterns, along with semi-abstract and naturalistic human, animal and plant imagery. It is clearly distinguishable from Roman and Greek Classical art of the same date. The majority of Celtic Art objects are made of metal (including bronze, iron, gold and silver). However, the distinctive decorative patterns are also found occasionally on objects made from bone, wood and pottery. Some of the most famous items are the torcs buried at Snettisham, the Battersea shield which was deposited in the River Thames, and several bronze mirrors found mostly in southern Britain.

In the past, Celtic Art has been analysed in much the same way as more recent paintings and sculpture: people have focused on the various motifs decorating the objects and discussed how they changed gradually over time. The aim of this project, however, is to place these undeniably beautiful artefacts back into their archaeological contexts and to investigate how they fitted into the Iron Age and Romano-British societies in which they were made.

title: Landscape Archaeology and Community in Devon: An Oral History Approach

description: The project uses oral history in order to advance and enhance existing knowledge of landscape change, to test and challenge the formation of this knowledge and thereby bring greater understanding to our study of the meaning of landscape. The project has three specific research questions: To document the nature of farming history within the areas of Devon that are currently under investigation in the landscape archaeology projects. To relate landscape changes produced by the WW2 plough up campaign on both previous and subsequent landscape histories, and to evaluate socio-cultural meanings of such landscape changes in rural communities.

title: A Mortarium Bibliography for Roman Britain

description: The purpose of this mortarium bibliography is to collate the disparate literature on mortaria in order to make it more accessible to pottery specialists and other interested individuals. Undertaken principally between 1995 and 1998, with some updating in 2001 and 2004, the resulting bibliography is essentially, but not totally, comprehensive for the last thirty years. Earlier reports and monographs of particular importance were included, but much interesting earlier material had to be omitted. In addition to the bibliographic reference, set information was recorded on pro forma for each reference with illustrated profiles of mortaria.

title: Cursuses and Related Monuments of the British Neolithic: PhD Thesis, University of Leicester (1985)

description: In this nationwide survey completed in 1984 (written up and submitted 1985) all cursuses were plotted at a scale of 1:10560 and the smaller, but morphologically related, elongated ditches (oblong, trapeziform and ovate) at a scale of 1:2500. These common scales enable direct comparison and emphasize the link between large and small sites (eg. Llandegai; Holywood B (North); Thornborough). The truly massive Rudston and Dorset (Gussage & Pentridge) cursus complexes required substantial fold outs. These have been copied sectionally and reproduced here at slightly below 1:10560; sizing can be established from the smaller scale full plans and the gazetteer entries.

title: Application of Archaeological Geophysical Techniques to the Investigation of British Smelting Sites: PhD Thesis, University of Bradford (2004)

description: Many archaeological researchers regard the magnetic anomalies produced by a furnace, or a slag dump, as the most a magnetometer survey can reveal about a smelting site. The research presented in this Thesis has shown this not to be correct. By conducting an in-depth examination of the geophysical responses produced by the different stages in the various metallurgical processes the research has confirmed that smelting sites can be geophysically evaluated to a greater extent than previously achieved.

title: A Review of Animal Bone Evidence from Southern England

description: This project, funded by English Heritage, aimed to review the animal bone evidence from Late Bronze Age-Late Iron Age sites from southern England. The Regional Review report (Hambleton 2008), for which this database serves as a feely available online appendix, provides a synthetic review of published faunal assemblages. Key themes include: animal husbandry; diet and economy; agricultural diversification and specialisation; and the nature of 'special deposits'. Assessments of species frequency and relative abundance confirm that domestic mammals predominate. A total of 108 site reports were recorded in the database. These 108 'site' records correspond to reports from excavations at 101 separate monument locations. These sites generated 154 distinct 'assemblage' records for faunal assemblages. Wherever possible a full suite of data was recorded for each assemblage, including: mammal, bird and other taxa present; species quantification, ageing, sexing, body part representation, butchery and metrical observations for the main domestic mammals; and details of associated bone groups.

title: England's Historic Seascapes: Withernsea to Skegness

description: The project was carried out by the Museum of London Archaeology Service (MoLAS) on behalf of English Heritage, and was been funded by the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund (ALSF).

The project is part of the second round of seascapes analysis funded by the ALSF; the first round was carried out by Wessex Archaeology ( Liverpool Bay). This project attempts to develop the ideas developed as part of this Wessex project and apply them to a different coastal area.

The pilot area runs between Withernsea in Yorkshire to Skegness in Lincolnshire, including the Humber Estuary, and extends out into the open sea as far as the median line with Holland. The overall aim of the project is to map and interpret current sea uses in the pilot area, with a view to identifying historic significance of the maritime environment.

description: Chedworth Roman Villa is a major site of the Roman period in Britain, one of the largest rural domestic buildings known from the 4th century high point of Romano-British culture. It lies in a particularly beautiful setting which has changed little since Roman times. The site was first excavated in 1864 and bought by the National Trust in 1924.

title: Sandhills Project, Alderley Edge, Cheshire

description: The Alderley Sandhills Project (ASP) was established in 2003 to exploit the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund, a government initiative to fund projects investigating or restoring sites from which aggregates were extracted. The area south of Alderley Edge known as the Sandhills had until the 1960s been covered by a highly polluted sand residue from the copper extraction process. The aim had been to investigate both the slow regeneration process of the flora and fauna in the area of the Sandhills themselves, and to excavate two pairs of miners' cottages which had stood in their lee as a combined cross-disciplinary undertaking. However, funding arrangements and logistics meant that only the cottages could be studied. Excavation of a domestic site of the industrial period ('historical archaeology') is still novel in the UK: in this case the excavators could also use old photographs and the memories of surviving inhabitants, recreating a sense of identity with the past, heightened by involving local and Manchester schools and members of the local community. The excavation used techniques of environmental archaeology, combined with a study of the present flora of the site by the Museum's botanists to interpret the flower and vegetable gardens of the cottages, setting their conclusions beside the memories of the former inhabitants.

title: Searching for traces of the Southern Dispersal: environmental and historical research on the evolution of human diversity in southern Asia and Australo-Melanesia

description: This research sought to explore the pattern of population movement (direction, rate, permanency) along a hypothesised route from Africa to Australasia during Oxygen Isotope Stage 4. Using GIS-based analyses and hypothetical models of population movement, potential routes out of East Africa were generated and examined. The goal of these analyses was to assess the viability of particular routes, and consider them in terms of ecological and geographical constraints. As a result, several routes through Africa, Arabia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Australasia were proposed and evaluated. These routes have been further examined with regards to archaeological site location, the timing of human presence in South Asia, and biological indicators of human diversity.

description: The 'Aggregates Industry in the Trent Valley: A History and Archaeology' project was undertaken by Tim Cooper of the ARCUS University of Sheffield and funded through the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund as distributed by English Heritage. The project takes a different approach to previous archaeological work in the Trent valley in that it takes the aggregates industry itself as the object of study. The project provides a detailed account of a regionally significant industry, and contributes to an understanding of the multifarious issues related to gravel extraction at national level.
