     Interview in british archaeology with the colourful Director of the notably successful Oxford Archaeological Unit.  
     http://www.britarch.ac.uk/ba/ba9/ba9int.html
     
     Extractions: Simon Denison talks to David Miles It is not uncommon to hear field archaeologists say that `there's not much going on in archaeology' any more. They tell you that in the era of developer-funded archaeology, historical inquiry has more or less died. It is a response you rarely get from the Oxford Archaeological Unit. Instead, its Director, David Miles, will typically run off five or six interesting current projects; and as a result, the Oxford Unit is probably cited more often in national newspapers - and in British Archaeology - than any other outfit save English Heritage. Recent work has included the redating of the Uffington White Horse, the tracing of continuous occupation at Yarnton from the Neolithic to the present, the conservation battle over development at Tewkesbury, and this month the discovery of possible Bronze Age bridges at Eton. How do they do it? Some units condemn them as `highly predatory', and it is true that the Oxford Unit operates in about 20 counties, hunting out interesting work wherever it may occur, and selling themselves to get it. Yet Oxford's media success also has, I suspect, much to do with the interpretive flair and salesmanship of the Director himself. David Miles is unusual among archaeologists in that he would quite happily not be one love the subject though he undoubtedly does. He is equally interested in interior design, textiles, art and architecture, novels and poetry. For years he wrote a gardening column in the

     Extractions: ISSN 1357-4442 Editor: Simon Denison REGIONS The Vikings transformed culture and society in 9th-11th century East Anglia, writes Andrew Rogerson The Vikings arrived in force in East Anglia in 866, and in 870 they killed the East Anglian king, Edmund. However, it was not until after the Treaty of Wedmore in 878, agreed between Alfred the Great of Wessex and Guthrum of Denmark, that Viking settlement of East Anglia began in earnest. As the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle put it, Guthrum's Viking army proceeded to `share out' the land, which remained part of the Danelaw for the next 40 years. The great questions that have always been asked about this Viking settlement include how numerous the newcomers were, and how much of the land they `shared out'. Were new settlements established by wholesale migration of farmers, with indigenous agricultural communities displaced, or was an upper class of warriors and their families imposed on a densely populated land? The likelihood, in my view, is that the actual number of settlers was relatively small, even though their cultural influence in the region was large. Archaeological evidence from East Anglia over recent years shows that, whatever the number of immigrants, Scandinavian-influenced artefacts achieved very wide circulation in the 9th-11th centuries. More remarkably, evidence from towns in the region shows that the arrival of Vikings provided a kick start to English urbanisation after the long Anglo-Saxon lull, mirroring evidence from elsewhere in eastern England.

     Extractions: ISSN 1357-4442 Editor: Simon Denison FEATURES Mike Parker Pearson recalls the site that revealed the religious significance of water in later prehistoric Britain The years of the Second World War were a curiously productive period for archaeology in Britain. The famous Anglo-Saxon treasures of Sutton Hoo were hastily dug out in the months before war broke out, and `rescue archaeology' - the emergency excavation of construction sites - was born in the work carried out by WF Grimes on new defence installations all around Britain. Few wartime discoveries, however, proved to be as dramatic or far-reaching as the chance finds made by RAF engineers building a remote airfield in North Wales in 1942. RAF Valley, near Llanfihangel-yn-Nhowyn on Anglesey, was built over the former lake of Llyn Cerrig Bach, and the finds were made when engineers began digging out sediments from the lake to stabilise sand dunes and level the ground surface. In amongst the heaps of peat they noticed iron weapons and chains. In July 1943 the director of the National Museum of Wales, Sir Cyril Fox, received a letter from RAF Valley's resident engineer informing him of the finds. Fox visited for two days in August and arrangements were made to ship the material to the National Museum, a task which was finally completed in 1945. Despite wartime secrecy

109. British Archaeology, No 19, November 1996: Obituary
     Obituary by Richard Bradley in british archaeology of the late Professor at Edinburgh University and leading British prehistorian.  
     http://www.britarch.ac.uk/ba/ba19/ba19obit.html
     
     Extractions: British archaeology has lost the last of its `three wise men'. The death of Stuart Piggott, so soon after Christopher Hawkes and Grahame Clark, means that an entire generation of prehistorians who began their careers in the late 1920s has now passed. More than anyone else, they laid the foundations for the study of British prehistory and between them they taught most of the senior figures in the discipline today. Stuart Piggott was very different from both his great contemporaries. He was self-taught and never attended university. He began his career as a field archaeologist, working first in field survey and then as Alexander Keiller's assistant in the excavations at Avebury. He acquired his practical archaeology through his professional work, but he was always a man of wide sympathies. In his early years in Hampshire he learned his distinctive draughtsmanship from the work of Heywood Sumner, one of the last survivors of the Arts and Crafts Movement. He studied the life and work of William Stukeley, and during his wartime service he gained a first-hand acquaintance with the archaeology of India. This provided the subject matter of his first book, published in 1946. His second, Fire Among the Ruins , was a complete contrast, for this was a collection of poems in the manner of AE Housman.

     Extractions: ISSN 1357-4442 Editor: Simon Denison INTERVIEW Simon Denison talks to Tom Hassall No doubt about it, the new National Monuments Record Centre, which opened in Swindon last year, is an intriguing idea. Photos, surveys and building records, produced by the English Royal Commission over the past century, are now on one site for the first time and thrown open to the public. This turning outwards, this reformulation of itself as an open-access, public-service outfit, marks a brave new direction for the Commission - and one not without risk. Whether the type of record held will ever interest more than a specialist audience, time alone will tell. But as an idea, as a new democratic for the Commission, the NMR Centre is beyond reproach. Presiding over the Commission's rebirth, and enormously proud of the new infant, is Tom Hassall, Secretary of the Commission since 1986. The opening of the Centre, he told me on the phone, was `the most important event for the national heritage in years'. I had to come down, he insisted, to see for myself.

115. British Archaeology, No 10, December 1995: Interview
     Interview in british archaeology with archaeologist Francis Pryor (1945 ) best known for his remarkable work at Flag Fen, the famous Bronze Age site.  
     http://www.britarch.ac.uk/ba/ba10/ba10int.html
     
     Extractions: Simon Denison talks to Francis Pryor He said he was the world's worst photographic subject, because he couldn't keep his face still for a moment. `Oh, and Christ, Maisie will kill me, 'cause I haven't combed my hair . . .' So far, so good. The man who can't feign an unctious smile, and who maintains a tousled appearance despite his wife's strictures, is Francis Pryor - a man as well known for his outspoken opinions, and his maverick refusal to conform to archaeology's `safe, middle- class culture' (as he puts it), as for his remarkable work at Flag Fen, the famous Bronze Age site near Peterborough which he found, and has excavated for over a dozen years. Green-jacketed, check-shirted, he is an upper-class countryman, a part-time sheep farmer as well as a prehistorian, disdainful of shallow urbanities and without much conventional ambition. We pace about Flag Fen on a bright, cold winter afternoon, at a time when the place is empty of visitors, a silent, watery outpost amid acres of flat dark soil. He is master of this, his own small domain, and it suits him well. Francis Pryor claims to be unemployable, because of his inability to tolerate a superior telling him what to do. Yet, recently elevated to the Ancient Monuments Advisory Committee (AMAC) at English Heritage, he has now been invited to deliver, next month, the first lecture sponsored by the British Archaeological Awards. Does it all mean that he's sliding peacefully, in middle age, into a cosy place in the establishment? `Good God, I hope not. I'll still be a rebel on AMAC,' he promised, ominously.

     Extractions: Modules York Home Arch Home Arch UG Home ... Contacting People This module is designed to introduce the broad chronological schemes that exist in British Archaeology. The course will survey the various phases of colonisation of what became the British Isles and thus illustrate the links between Britain, its neighbours, and to a certain extent, the wider world. Various members of the Department will introduce you to the principal types of evidence available to archaeologists for each of the major chronological periods. They will then go on to explain the main environmental, cultural, economic and social processes that characterise these periods. By the end of this module you should have: A basic understanding of the major chronological phases; from early prehistory through to the modern and industrial periods. An awareness of what types of evidence archaeologists study and what type of processes we can infer from that material. A greater appreciation of the depth of chronology and the breadth of evidence that exists in the archaeological study of the British Isles.

     Extractions: ISSN 1357-4442 Editor: Simon Denison FAVOURITE FINDS Mick Aston recalls the day he stumbled on a deserted medieval village My favourite discovery took place in the summer of about 1976, when I was county archaeologist in Somerset. I was on my way back from Richard Bradley's wedding [he's now Professor of Archaeology at Reading University], and there were four of us in the car, the archaeologists Pete Leach and Ann Woodward, plus my wife. The wedding had been great. There were lots of archaeologists and I remember drinking a lot of champagne. Anyway, at this stage in the journey I was desperate to relieve myself and we had to pull the car over. It was a nice bright low-sun day, getting towards the evening. I climbed over the gate and was standing against the hedge, when I looked around and there was this amazing great sea of earthworks. One little walk out into it showed there was a holloway down the middle, and there were house platforms along each side. It was very, very clear. The cattle must have been in there and eaten all the grass down, otherwise it would have been overgrown. What I'd found was the remains of Nether Adber, one of the best preserved deserted villages in Somerset. The village is mentioned in Domesday Book. The fact was, the thing was sitting there, in the middle of the Somerset countryside

     Extractions: ISSN 1357-4442 Editor: Simon Denison COMMENT The new plans for Stonehenge deserve support, writes Francis Pryor Sun temple, waymarker, computer, observatory, Tess's rendezvous, New Age icon, witness of 5,000 years, World Heritage Site, traffic jam - Stonehenge is a universe of identities. It is also, according to the Parliamentary Public Accounts Committee, a national disgrace. One of the oldest, most mysterious buildings in the world is today bracketed by noisy roads, approached via a dismal concrete subway, and displayed like a beast in a third-rate zoo. When bemused visitors depart few realise that they have been standing in the midst of an astonishing ceremonial landscape. After years of dithering by successive Governments, Culture Secretary Chris Smith has unveiled proposals which aim to redeem the disgrace. The Stonehenge `Masterplan' provides for closure of the A344 alongside the stones, burial of the A303 in a tunnel, removal of the nearby carpark and visitor facilities, and the creation of a new visitor centre outside the World Heritage Site. Frequent shuttle buses would carry visitors free of charge along existing roads to a point about half a mile from the stones, whence all but the less able would walk. Anyone disinclined to use the visitor centre would be free to enter the landscape on foot. Since distance will be a deterrent to rapid visits, pressure on the stones will be relieved.
