Understanding the early development and well-being of children from refugee backgrounds in kindergarten from the perspective of teachers and settlement workers
Children from refugee backgrounds in British Columbia, Canada, scored significantly lower in 14 of the 16 areas of development in kindergarten compared with their non-migrant peers, according to teacher-assessed Early Development Instrument results. • Focus groups with educators and settlement workers helped to create a more fulsome, nuanced understanding of the population-level results, including the unique developmental strengths of children fr…
Preconception risk and promotive factors of postpartum social support
Social support is a vital resource for parents raising young children. Yet, little is known about the developmental histories of parents that may compromise or strengthen social support in early parenthood. We explored the extent to which parents' perceived social support at 1 year postpartum could be predicted by factors from well before parenthood, assessed across 10 waves of data collected in their childhoods, adolescence, and young adulthoods…
From Middened Pottery to Pit Deposit
This paper presents the analysis of a highly significant early Neolithic midden from Threefords in the Milfield Basin, Northumberland, UK. The midden, unique in the region for its association with an early Neolithic building, sheds new light on the practice of pottery curation prior to later pit deposition. Using metric and abrasion analyses the effects on potsherds of temporary deposition in a midden are examined, before their potential removal …
Events, narrative and data
In this paper, we discuss how the history of our discipline continues to shape how we think with material culture to produce narratives. We argue that recent developments in scientific dating-in combination with New Materialist and Big Data approaches-offer the potential to produce radical new interpretations. However, we can only achieve this if we adopt 'ethically Bayesian' approaches which recognise that some of the most fundamental aspects of…
The organics revolution
Organic remains from excavated sites include a wide range of materials, from distinct organisms (‘ecofacts’) to biomolecules. Biomolecules provide a variety of new research avenues, while ecofacts with longer histories of study are now being re-harnessed in unexpected ways. These resources are unlocking research potential, transcending what was previously imagined possible. However, this ‘organics revolution’ comes with a salutary corollary: our …
Public Archaeology
In 2013, Cadw published the 'Cadw Community Archaeology Framework'. This defined community archaeology practice in Wales, and outlined: a range of aims; a definition and context for community archaeology; a background to community archaeology; a vision for community archaeology; and a commitment to working with partners and communities. In 2018, five years after the publication of this document, the authors undertook a survey of the state of publ…
Evaluating the effectiveness of land-use zoning for the protection of built heritage in the Bagan Archaeological Zone, Myanmar—A satellite remote-sensing approach
Small Works, Big Stories. Methodological approaches to photogrammetry through crowd-sourcing experiences
A recent digital public archaeology project (HeritageTogether) sought to build a series of 3D ditigal models using photogrammetry from crowd-sourced images. The project saw over 13000 digital images being donated, and resulted in models of some 78 sites, providing resources for researchers, and condition surveys. The project demonstrated that digital public archaeology does not stop at the 'trowel's edge', and that collaborative post-excavation a…
Crowd-sourcing archaeological research
Archaeologists are increasingly working with crowd-sourced digital data. Using evidence from other disciplines about the nature of crowd-sourcing in academic research, we suggest that archaeological projects using donated data can usefully be differentiated between generative projects (which rely on data collected by citizen scientists), and analytical projects (which make use of volunteers to classify, or otherwise analyse data that are provided…
The Impact of Drought on Mental Health in Rural and Regional Australia
Picture This! Community-Led Production of Alternative Views of the Heritage of Gwynedd
The digital camera has become ubiquitous. Every mobile phone has one built in, almost everyone has a mobile phone, and people use them constantly for all kinds of things, including taking pictures. In a new collaborative project, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), Bangor, Aberystwyth and Manchester Metropolitan Universities have teamed up with Gwynedd Archaeological Trust to develop tools to allow communities to picture th…

The Excavation of Duddo Stone Circle, Northumberland
This paper reports on the 2008 excavations at Duddo Stone Circle, Northumberland; the first excavation of a stone circle in the north-east of England under modern conditions. The project was successful in radiocarbon dating archaeobotanical material that suggests a date for construction at the beginning of the Early Bronze Age, and cremated human bone that dates its potential re-use for burial to around 1700 cal bc . This report provides a strati…
Three Prehistories Reviewed
These three volumes published by Blackwell are all con cerned with the interpretation of prehistoric archaeology from Europe. Prehistoric Britain and Prehistoric Europe do so directly, providing state-of-the-art overviews of their subjects from a variety of leading academics, while Creating Prehistory addresses how the nascent discipline of archaeology formed both itself and its interpretations in the process. They are also linked by the concept …
Thirlings
Excavation at Thirlings, Northumberland revealed very extensive pit and post-pit features of Neolithic date. Some were suggestive of circular, trapezoidal and possibly rectangular structures. Radiocarbon dates indicate activity commencing around the beginning of the fourth millennium BC and continuing intermittently until at least the mid-third millennium BC. The pottery assemblage was substantial, and included Early Neolithic Carinated Bowl, and…
A Henge Too Far? Reinterpreting the Neolithic Monument Complex at Milfield, Northumberland
This paper reinterprets the archaeological evidence from the Neolithic monument complex in the Milfield Basin, Northumberland; a palimpsest landscape of earlier Neolithic enclosures, later Neolithic henges and Early Bronze Age burial monuments. Recent interpretative accounts of the Early Neolithic use of this complex have stressed economic factors as the driving-forces behind enclosure construction, whilst the six major later Neolithic henges hav…
