Extractions: Early Medieval studies for 50 years evaded the Belgian historian, Henri Pirenne, and his celebrated thesis linking Mohammed and Charlemagne through an apparent discontinuity caused by the interruption of contact between north-west Europe and the Mediterranean. So, for example, editors of archaeological journals like Antiquity could dispatch volumes to be reviewed as though, as in prehistory, they had no historical framework. Now the circumstances in Early Medieval studies have radically altered. Drawn together by the economies of travel and publication, students of the Early Middle Ages are making an increasing effort to write the kind of multi-disciplinary history using, as often as not archaeology, that would have won Pirenne's approval. See, for example, the European Science Foundation's 'Transformation of the Roman World' project that, over the course of many workshops and in the form of a dozen volumes of essays, bridged disciplines and regions, bringing archaeologists and historians of all kinds face to face across the breadth of Latin Christendom.

Extractions: Council met on 7 June at the Institute of Archaeology in London. This meeting was the first since the appointment of a new President (Clive Orton) and a new Secretary (Lorraine Mepham). Council expressed their thanks to the outgoing President and Secretary for their hard work over the past few years. The report from the Editorial Committee was as full and varied as ever. Volume 21 of Medieval Ceramics is published and all members should have received their copies by now. Volume 22 is well advanced and should be published later in 1999. Several items have already been submitted for Volume 23, which may also contain an Index to Medieval Ceramics, one of the ideas mooted to celebrate our 25th Anniversary. Our first Occasional Paper, The Guide to the Classification of Medieval Ceramic Forms, is selling well - about 240 after the Sheffield Conference. Other Occasional Papers, such as the volumes on Ipswich Ware and Trondheim Redwares, are still in progress. The Bibliography is well in hand. Council has promised to investigate the points raised at the AGM in Sheffield regarding the MPRG web-site, which some members have experienced difficulty in accessing. Ann Jenner reported on the joint conference in Sheffield in May. This was a very successful event, and we should make a clear profit from it. Feedback so far, from both MPRG and Prehistoric Ceramics Research Group members, has been very positive and Anne is to be congratulated on the organisation of the Conference. It is hoped that the proceedings will be published, although the precise format remains to be decided.

Extractions: (Ranulf of Waterford) The economies of late medieval and renaissance Europe were heavy users of forest products for heating, industrial processes, and as building material. While unspecialized uses could generally be supplied from heavily managed local woodlands, the long economic and population expansion that began in the late 13 th century and the recovery and economic expansion following the Black Death resulted in an increasing inability of local sources to meet economic needs. These needs were met by a rise in long-distance trade to supply quality timber for building and joinery. While the beginnings of the trade can be documented to the 9 th century, large-scale trade in timber had to await both a sufficient population to produce demand and the development of shipping techniques that reduced transport costs to a profitable level. The falling cost of long-distance trade combined with shortages of local timber led to imported lumber supplanting local products in some markets. Forest products can be divided into timber, underwood, and derivative products such as turpentine and charcoal. Timbers are large pieces of wood from mature trees, suitable for large-scale construction or for conversion into boards and planks. Underwood is composed of smaller pieces of wood, frequently from coppiced or immature trees, used for poles, firewood, hurdles, turnery and other such uses. Derivative products are those produced by burning or other conversion such as charcoal, turpentine, ash, and resin. This paper is concerned with trade and production of timbers.

The department offers direction of research in every period of Irish history, including local history. The Maynooth Libraries have substantial holdings of primary reference material for significant areas of Irish history: proximity to Dublin and the major national repositories such as the National Library and the National Archives makes Maynooth an ideal location for Irish historical research. The ALCID card, obtainable by all registered students, allows access to the libraries of Trinity College Dublin, the Royal Irish Academy, and University College Dublin. Among the themes of research are Irish historic settlement, church and society in pre-Norman Ireland, political and religious reform in Tudor Ireland, social, economic and cultural change in the seventeenth century, political thought in the eighteenth century, poverty, emigration and medicine in the nineteenth century, and political mobilisation in modern Ireland. Irish and comparative urban history is a particular research strength, as is Irish migration overseas, especially to continental Europe in the early modern period.

The aim of the session is to study the links between trade and local productions through urban archaeology, settlement archaeology, landscape and underwater archaeology, by means of papers focusing on general issues or specific case-studies. Within the specific frame, suggested topics interest are: the mechanisms and organization of trade (local and long-distance exchange); relation between State and free market; the links between the productive areas and the commercial flows; the peculiar role of single areas, harbours, sites.
