Contacts About the Ship In July 2002 the remarkably well preserved remains of a medieval ship were discovered during excavation works for a new Arts Centre on the banks of the River Usk in central Newport, South Wales. Unusually, the hull remained largely intact, and it is estimated to have been in the region of 25 metres in length and 8m beam. The vessel was scheduled for destruction to allow the completion of the Arts Centre to its original timetable. However following a high profile campaign launched by local people - originally under the title "Save our Ship" and now as "The Friends of the Newport Ship" - which was supported by local and national archaeological organisations, almost all of the Ship was archaeologically excavated and recovered. Why is the Newport Ship Significant ?

ISSN 1357-4442 Editor: Simon Denison Issue no 4, May 1995 OBITUARY Leslie Grinsell by Paul Ashbee Leslie Grinsell, though an amateur archaeologist most of his life, to a great extent determined the direction of field archaeology in the second half of this century. He came to prehistory via the classification of flint implements, but soon turned to barrows, long and round. With rucksack, maps, notebook and tape, he had by 1941, when he produced The Bronze Age Round Barrows of Wessex , made inventories of Surrey, Sussex, Berkshire, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, scrutinising some 6,000 barrows. His widely acclaimed book The Ancient Burial Mounds of England , which outlined numbers, forms, and regional distributions, had been published in 1936. In 1941 he became a Pilot Officer in the Air Photographic Branch of the RAF. Posted to Egypt, his sparse spare time was devoted to a succinct account of the pyramids. After the war he left Barclays Bank, for whom he had worked as a bank clerk since 1925, and became the Devizes professional archaeologist, producing the magisterial gazeteer volume of the Victoria County History of Wiltshire . He was Treasurer of the Prehistoric Society from 1947-1970, and his financial skills secured its post-war reconstruction and rise to eminence.

British Archaeology , no 12, March 1996: Features Bone analysis suggests Neolithic people preferred meat, writes Mike Richards `First farmers' with no taste for grain The Neolithic period is traditionally associated with the beginning of farming, yet in Britain - by contrast with much of the rest of Europe - the evidence has always been thin on the ground. Where are the first farmers' settlements? Where are the fields? The almost complete absence of this kind of evidence has led some archaeologists, over recent years, to question the view that people in Britain actually grew most of their food in the 4th and 3rd millennia BC. Now, a scientific study of Neolithic human bone seems to point in the same revisionist direction. The small-scale study - the first of its kind - of the bones of about 23 Neolithic people from ten sites in central and southern England, suggests that these `first farmers' relied heavily on animal meat for food, or on animal by-products such as milk and cheese, and that plant foods in fact formed little importance in their diet. The bones date from throughout the Neolithic, c c The study was based on the idea that our bodies are made up of organic and inorganic components derived from the foods we have eaten. There are a number of ways of tracing the original food source of some of our tissues, and one way is to look at the relative ratios of certain elements, known as `stable isotopes', in bone protein.

Networked Information in an International Context A CONFERENCE ORGANISED BY UKOLN IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE BRITISH LIBRARY, CNI, CAUSE AND JISC 9th and 10th February 1996 at the Ramada Hotel, Heathrow, UK INTERNET ARCHAEOLOGY: OVERCOMING THE OBSTACLES AND USING THE OPPORTUNITIES SEAMUS ROSS, Assistant Secretary (Information Technology), The British Academy This account was drafted for this report by The Marc Fresko Consultancy. It is based on notes taken during the presentation and slides used. ABSTRACT Archaeology is a particularly appropriate subject to promote the use of electronic media. Much archaeological work is by its nature destructive; archaeologists therefore need to preserve access to primary data in order to repeat and test conclusions. Traditional publishing methods have not provided the functionality that archaeologists require to manipulate the data types involved. The Internet Archaeology project aims to establish both a new definitive electronic publication and a model for subsequent developments. Key issues are touched on, with proposed approaches. THE PROJECT It is clear that electronic publications can be more flexible and more effective than paper publications could ever be. One brief example illustrates this: during the 1920s, an archaeologist painstakingly reconstructed the design of a theatre which had been excavated. His reconstruction was widely accepted until it was re-examined during this decade using solid modelling tools. Because of the facilities offered by solid modelling, this re-examination proved that the earlier work was not completely feasible, and ideas about the form of the theatre were revised. This probably would not have happened without the use of powerful computer-assisted techniques.

ISSN 1357-4442 Editor: Simon Denison Issue no 45, June 1999 FEATURES Neanderthals, sex and modern humans A boy buried 24,000 years ago proves the two species did interbreed, writes Paul Pettitt The relationship between modern humans and Neanderthals has been the subject of vigorous debate for many years. Did the two species inter-breed? Did they come into contact at all, during the tens of thousands of years of their co-existence on Earth? (See BA March , and Letters , May.) In 1996, DNA from the original Neander valley Neanderthal remains was extracted and analysed. This work demonstrated that there were at least 500,000 years of evolutionary divergence between our own species and the c 40,000 year old Neanderthal in question, diminishing the likelihood that the two species intermixed. Now, however, direct evidence has come to light from Iberia, demonstrating unequivocally that contact took place and was probably quite extensive on the peninsula. The evidence was the discovery in November last year of an Early Upper Palaeolithic burial, over 24,000 years old, at the Abrigo do Lagar Velho in central western Portugal. The burial was of a young boy who was part Neanderthal, part modern human. His discovery has dramatically changed our perspective on Neanderthal extinction and the spread of our own species across Europe. The Ebro river, which runs NW-SE across the neck of the Iberian peninsula, has recently come to be seen by some researchers as a major environmental boundary in the Upper Pleistocene.

Archaeology in Sussex A history of Romano-British archaeology in Sussex Sussex's Romano-British heritage has attracted attention from archaeologists and antiquarians for many centuries. This was especially so in the 19th and early 20th centuries, when the Roman empire was felt in many ways to have been a precursor to Britain's own empire. It was at this time that a number of Roman villas in the county were dug, including that at Bignor pictured here in a 19th century painting. The mid 19th century also saw the founding of the Sussex Archaeological Society, whose annual collections allowed for the publication of many archaeological sites and finds. During the first half of the 20th century - especially the inter-war years - there was a dramatic increase in the number of sites excavated, in addition to vastly improved techniques and recording methods. A number of influential archaeologists, including Eliot and Eliot Cecil Curwen and S.E. Winbolt, left an important legacy for the discipline in Sussex. During this time, it was not just the large impressive villas that were excavated, but a whole range of Romano-British and prehistoric settlement sites. In the early post-war years, excavations continued at sites such as the Iron Age settlement and Romano-British shrine at Muntham Court, pictured in the photograph. This was still a time when nearly all of the work was carried out by volunteers, and nowhere is this better illustrated than by the excavations at Fishbourne Roman Palace. The site was rediscovered in 1960 and within the course of a decade, around 900 unpaid amateur diggers - under the direction of Barry Cunliffe - meticulously excavated large parts of the site. The personal generosity of Sussex archaeologist Ivan Margary also enabled a cover building to be erected over the north wing, and a museum to be established on the site.
