title: Meggeson Avenue (Southampton Regeneration), Townhill Park, Southampton: An Archaeological Evaluation Report (aocarcha1-124784).

description: An archaeological investigation was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group on behalf of Lovell Partnership Ltd in June 2012 at the site of Meggeson Avenue, Townhill, Southampton. The archaeological investigation consisted of a two trench evaluation. The earliest features encountered during the evaluation appeared to be late 18th or 19th century in origin relating to the landscaping and construction of an ornamental lake. The late 18th or 19th century landscaping that took place appears to have removed all pre-existing in-situ soil horizons and potentially any earlier features that may have been present overlying the natural sand. All deposits encountered overlying this late 18th or 19th century phase of activity were associated with further landscaping of the area during the late 19th or 20th century. No features pre-dating the late 18th or 19th century activity on site were identified. Due to the limited significance of the archaeological deposits encountered it is recommended that no further archaeological fieldwork be undertaken. The final decision with regard to the requirement for further archaeological fieldwork lies with Stephen Appleby, Archaeology Advisor to Southampton City Council. The results of the evaluation will be summarised for inclusion in the Hampshire Archaeology Round-up and published via the Archaeological Data Service (ADS) website. The archive will be deposited at the Seacity Museum, Southampton.

title: A Whole-site First-assessment Toolkit for combined Mineral Resource and Archaeological assessment in Sand and Gravel deposits

description: Ground investigations are essential components of site assessment for both mineral resources, and archaeological remains. The techniques used for both mineral and archaeological assessment are often similar. Since investigations for both purposes must be performed in areas of potential mineral resource, and there is considerable overlap between them, there are potential benefits to mineral operators, heritage protection, and the planning process, in developing a systematic integrated approach to these investigations. It is important to remember that both mineral deposit and archaeology occupy essentially the same physical space, broadly defined as the soil layer. The project has been timely in relation to the very recent emergence of commercial availability of both airborne, and ground geophysical high resolution survey methods. The project team have the combined expertise in the separate new methodologies and data integration. They also have experience of the current practice in extractive industry, heritage protection and planning to assess critically the value of the information gained using the proposed methods. The project two example sites, at Sturton-le-Steeple and Shelford, both in the Trent valley. Both sites combine the presence of a known aggregate resource with known archaeological remains, as well as being part of a populated and worked landscape, with issues such as soil quality, hydrogeology and bio-diversity to be considered.

title: Blackwater Estuary Fish traps, Essex

description: The Essex tidal estuaries are the site of a number of timber-built fish traps, their distribution being particularly dense in the Blackwater estuary where six sites have been identified through the work of local archaeologists and aerial reconnaissance. The Blackwater examples are Saxon in date (Strachan 1998) and comprise large and complex monuments, comprising numerous wooden posts in various alignments, along with wattle-work (sails and rods) and basketry. The recovered information adds to the understanding of these and other fishtraps in the Blackwater estuary and provides measurable data with which to assess the nature and rate of erosion taking place in this inter-tidal environment. Additionally, a number of methodological lessons have been learnt that are of benefit to the improved investigation of such monuments in the inter-tidal zone.

title: Somerset and Exmoor Historic Landscape Characterisation (HLC)

description: The Historic Landscape Characterisation (HLC) project for Somerset and Exmoor National Park (NP) was carried out between 1999-2000 with funding from English Heritage by the Environment & Property Department of Somerset County Council. The project developed a method of identifying the historic landscape character of the present-day landscape, defining the landscape through a series of attributes, primarily the morphology of field boundaries, as well as processes of enclosure and measurement of past landscape changes. The Somerset method was based on the philosophy used in the Cornwall's Historic Landscape Characterisation, though the increased use of GIS and its adoption in the techniques of characterisation since that project allowed a more complex characterisation method to be used.

description: Trierweiler C, Klaassen RHG, Drent RH, Exo K-M, Komdeur J, Bairlein F, Koks BJ (2014) Migratory connectivity and population specific migration routes in a long-distance migratory bird. Proceedings of the Royal Society B 281(1778). doi:10.1098/rspb.2013.2897
description: Knowledge about migratory connectivity, the degree to which individuals from the same breeding site migrate to the same wintering site, is essential to understand processes affecting populations of migrants throughout the annual cycle. Here, we study the migration system of a long-distance migratory bird, the Montagu's harrier Circus pygargus, by tracking individuals from different breeding populations throughout northern Europe. We identified three main migration routes towards wintering areas in sub-Saharan Africa. Wintering areas and migration routes of different breeding populations overlapped, a pattern best described by ‘weak (diffuse) connectivity’. Migratory performance, i.e. timing, duration, distance and speed of migration, was surprisingly similar for the three routes despite differences in habitat characteristics. This study provides, to our knowledge, a first comprehensive overview of the migration system of a Palaearctic-African long-distance migrant. We emphasize the importance of spatial scale (e.g. distances between breeding populations) in defining patterns of connectivity and suggest that knowledge about fundamental aspects determining distribution patterns, such as the among-individual variation in mean migration directions, is required to ultimately understand migratory connectivity. Furthermore, we stress that for conservation purposes it is pivotal to consider wintering areas as well as migration routes and in particular stopover sites.

title: Great flexibility in autumn movement patterns of European Gadwalls (Anas strepera) (Gehrold et al. 2014)-reference data

description: The annual migration cycle of waterbirds often involves several distinct movement stages, for example within-winter movements or the moult migration during summer, which require a high degree of individual flexibility in migration direction. Here, we investigate whether such flexibility is a common characteristic of waterbird migration by analysing movement behaviour of a dabbling duck, the gadwall Anas strepera, during the little studied, intermediate autumn period. The tracking of individuals via satellite transmitters (n = 7) as well as the ring re-encounter analysis of three European gadwall populations (Germany, England, Russia) revealed that autumn movements were multidirectional. Furthermore, the comparison with winter re-encounters suggested that autumn movements were partly independent of the movements towards subsequently used south to southwestern wintering areas. Some individuals even travelled long distances north- or eastwards. Accordingly, some autumn locations were characterized by a harsh climate, thus serving as temporary staging sites but necessitating further movements when wetlands freeze during winter. The occurrence of such detours or reversals of migration was confirmed by the transmitter data. Inter-individual variability in distance and direction of autumn movements was found for both sexes and age-classes indicating that gadwalls, in general, followed flexible movement strategies. Based on the extent of multidirectional autumn movements, we hypothesize important benefits of such flights and suggest that the analysis of year-round movement patterns of individual animals during their distinct life-history stages is essential to understand how they can successfully reproduce and survive.

title: Small punch creep test data for P91 material at 600 °C and a load of 250 N (second repeat test)

description: The main aim of the thesis is to demonstrate the suitability of Small Punch (SP) testing for lifetime prediction of metallic materials operating at high temperatures. The lack of standardisation of this technique and doubts about the correlation of the data with that obtained from conventional creep tests, supports the need to exploit the recently launched Code of Practice for Small Punch Testing (CEN/WS 21). The present work is specifically concerned with investigating the creep behaviour of P91 steel weldments at 600 deg.C along with low-temperature fracture behaviour. Thin discs, 8 mm in diameter and 0.5 mm thick, were manufactured from different zones of a component containing a P91 welded joint: base metal (BM), service- exposed material (SE), weld metal (WM), fine-grain and coarse-grain heat affected zones (FG-HAZ & CG-HAZ). The results of SP creep tests on these disks, performed at 600 deg.C under different loads carefully following the Code of Practice, could be correlated with standard creep data. The SP test is shown to be a reliable method to depict creep behaviour of this alloy and its weldments and a creep model derived, useful for life time prediction, could also be demonstrated through FEA to predict the creep deformation of the SP discs. Additionally, the SP testing method shows potential to evaluate the fracture properties of P91 weldments, in particular the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature and fracture toughness estimations.
