They are clearly Celtic, with red or yellow hair, and with caucasian features. They speak a language known as Tocharian which is related to Gaelic through the Indo European group of languages. Well preserved mummies reveal the knowledge of weaving, and tartan cloth has been found, still as colourful as the day it was woven. Also grave goods have been recovered, including chariots, ploughs, horse harness, harrows, bronze and iron tools, pottery including a grain storage jar capable of holding 120 Kgs of grain, and intricate jewellery made of bronze, pewter, copper, silver and gold. Their techniques of preserving the dead by mummification were superior to the Egyptian as the soft internal organs were not removed but preserved in situ.

It is characterized by an art style that drew upon Greek, Etruscan, and Scythian motifs and translated them into highly abstract designs in metal, pottery, and wood. The earliest phase of Tenian culture, from the 6th to the late 5th cent. B.C. , spread from the middle Rhine region E into the Danube valley, S into Switzerland, and W and N into France, the Low Countries, Denmark, and the British Isles; this was the period of the first of the great Celtic (see Celt ) migrations. Tenian culture flourished until subjected to the advances of the Roman Empire. The Celtic peoples of the La TEne period borrowed much from older civilizations, including the Etruscan chariot, woodworking tools that enabled them to clear temperate forests for planting, and Greek agricultural implements such as the rotary millstone. Native coinage appeared in Gaul during the latter part of the period, along with the fortified townships eventually conquered by Julius Caesar. An exceptional example of late Tenian culture is found in the ancient lake dwellings of Glastonbury, S England.

Extractions: ISSN 1357-4442 Editor: Simon Denison NEWS English Heritage is facing strong criticism over its attitude to local-authority `blue plaque' schemes, in particular for its refusal to press local authorities to ensure that historical information on plaques is accurate. Last year a blue plaque was put up by Calderdale District Council (without listed building consent) on a Grade II listed pub in West Yorkshire - the Old Bridge Inn at Ripponden, near Halifax - claiming the pub was `probably Yorkshire's oldest hostelry', with an `earliest recorded date of 1307'. Denouncing the claim as having `no foundation whatsoever', Donald Haigh of Halifax Antiquarian Society wrote to English Heritage for advice and help. Responding to Mr Haigh in several letters earlier this year, English Heritage refused to intervene. Stephen Johnson, Regional Director (North) of English Heritage's Conservation Group, said the fixing of a plaque to a listed building was `a very minor matter', and that although it was `desirable' that information should be accurate, there was no need for English Heritage to `issue general advice to local authorities that they should get their facts right'. Andrew Saint, the senior historian in the London Division of English Heritage, told Mr Haigh that `[we] must not be seen to rubbish local initiatives', adding that `we prefer local groups and authorities outside London to devise their own design and style for any plaques scheme rather than imitate the London blue plaques, which otherwise stand in danger of becoming devalued currency'.

Extractions: INTRODUCTION The 1995 and 1996 Field Seasons During the summer of 1995 the Baccalieu Trail Heritage Corporation conducted an eight week archaeological survey and excavation in the community of Cupids, Conception Bay, the goal of which was to determine the location and state of preservation of the Cupers Cove plantation established there in 1610 by the London and Bristol Company of Merchant Venturers (Gilbert 1996). This plantation, whose first governor was Bristol merchant and adventurer John Guy, was the first official colony established in Newfoundland, the first English colony established in what is now Canada, and one of the first European colonies established in North America. A number of documents related to the plantation, including a diary, a journal and 19 letters, all written in Newfoundland between 1610 and 1631, have survived and it was to these that we turned for clues to the site's location before beginning our survey. From these documents we learned that Cupers Cove had stood 240 paces (or twelve score) from Cupids Pond, near a brook and on the landward side of the salt water pond that lies at the bottom of Cupids harbour (Gilbert 1996:68-70). Taken together, these three clues defined an area measuring roughly 500 metres from east to west at the bottom of Cupids harbour within the boundaries of which the plantation had once been located (

Extractions: Archaeology in Ecuador Contents: As in many Latin American countries, archaeology in Ecuador is the Cinderella of the sciences, except she has yet to find her prince to pick up her crystal slipper. Ecuador is a country rich in archaeological resources, with a chronology extending from Paleoindian times to the Inka conquest. The country also has a vast legacy of historical monuments that, unfortunately, have been ignored in archaeological investigations. The other group of Ecuadorian archaeologists consists of foreign professionals or doctoral candidates conducting research in Ecuador. They have temporarily made this country the center of their research, generally financed by universities or cultural institutions from abroad. It is not surprising, therefore, that most of the scientific contributions about the Ecuadorian past have been made by this group. Ecuadorian archaeologists represent less than 10 percent of the total number of archaeologists who have worked in the country. Because science does not recognize political frontiers, we do not disparage the contributions made by our foreign colleagues. However, our country needs national archaeologists to discover and study our cultural past, thereby strengthening the national identity.

Extractions: Indo-European Chronology (V period) Comments to the table 1 AD Germanic alliance in Europe The last century BC marked the rapid change of the ethnic situation in Europe. The wide expansion of Celtic tribes which made scared all ancient European civilization, ended after Celts were stopped in Italy in the 4th century BC and on the Balkans in the 3rd century BC. Gradually Celtic regions, like Gaul and Spain, fell under the rule of Rome, and its population decreased much. Since then, the "Celtic horror" in Europe is being changed by the Germanic one. Germanic tribes initially inhabited lands in northern Europe, in Scandinavia, Low Countries and Jutland. But on the edge of the new era, their poor lands made numerous overpopulated tribes migrate south. The first conflict between Romans and Germanic armies happen in the 2nd century BC in Dacia. A century later, Caesar managed to cross the Rhine from Gaul and defeat Germans who terrified Celts in Gaul. In 1 AD, in Bohemia, a leader of the tribe of Marcomannes, Marobod, established a huge alliance of different Germanic tribes against all those who prevented the Germanic move south. His army, about 100 thousand people, slowly went south to the Alps, closer to the Roman province of Rhaetia. In 6 AD, both Roman consular armies rushed to stop the Germans, but could not do that because of the uprising in Pannonia. Three years later, Germans eliminate another Roman army in the Teutoburg Woods - Romans never again step into Inner Germany.
