Le Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Stone Sculpture in England
After almost half a century of research, the Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Stone Sculpture (CASSS) project, coordinated by Professor Rosemary Cramp, is coming to an end. It brings together inventories of all Anglo-Saxon sculptural remains dating from between the seventh and twelfth centuries. With the final publications in 2022, it will comprise over eighteen publications, sixteen of which are devoted to inventories from each county in England. The end o…

Medieval Archaeology
Negotiating the North
This book brings together the cumulative results of a three-year project focused on the assemblies and administrative systems of Scandinavia, Britain, and the North Atlantic islands in the 1st and 2nd millennia AD. In this volume we integrate a wide range of historical, cartographic, archaeological, field-based, and onomastic data pertaining to early medieval and medieval administrative practices, geographies, and places of assembly in Norway, Sw…
Improved behavioral indices of welfare in continuous compared to intermittent pair‐housing in adult female rhesus macaques ( Macaca mulatta )
Limiting opportunities for captive nonhuman primates (NHPs) to express species‐specific social behaviors may disrupt the adaptive drive for social companionship and may lead to increases in coping behaviors and inactivity. While captive NHPs show improved welfare when moving to pair‐housing from single‐housing, the impact of daily separation of pair‐mates, as is implemented in intermittent pair‐housing, is not fully understood. We compared behavi…
Measuring Heart Rate Variability Using Commercially Available Devices in Healthy Children
Heart rate variability (HRV) is an accepted method for determining autonomic nervous system activity and cardiovascular risk in various populations. This study assessed the validity and reliability of a commercially available finger photoplethysmography (PPG) system for measuring pediatric HRV in a real-world setting. Sixteen healthy children (4.06 ± 0.58 years) were recruited. The PPG system was compared to the Polar H10 heart rate (HR) sensor v…
Theatres of Closure
Inhumation burials are recorded in Britain and Europe during excavations in a standardized way, especially graves of early medieval date. Just a limited number of attributes are usually foregrounded and these mainly concern skeletal identification, the grave plan and, when a burial is furnished, a list of objects, particularly metalwork, as well as occasional reference to burial structures, if present. In this paper, we argue that concealed withi…
Necrogeography and necroscapes
Archaeologists work with a wealth of mortuary evidence — site-based, artefactual, bioarchaeological and monumental — reflecting the spatial agency of the dead both above and below ground. Necrogeog

Intermittent pair‐housing, pair relationship qualities, and HPA activity in adult female rhesus macaques
Laboratory rhesus macaques are often housed in pairs and may be temporarily or permanently separated for research, health, or management reasons. While both long-term social separations and introductions can stimulate a stress response that impacts inflammation and immune function, the effects of short-term overnight separations and whether qualities of the pair relationship mediate these effects are unknown. In this study, we investigated the ef…
Celebrating archaeology and the archaeology of celebrations
This volume, which marks the fiftieth anniversary of World Archaeology, is fittingly on the theme of \ncelebrations and festivities. In keeping with the theme, this editorial has been co-authored by \ncurrent members of the editorial board who, in addition to introducing the papers submitted \nwithin the volume, have added commentary on the subject of celebrations from their own \ntemporal and geographical areas of expertise
Implications of Tourist–Macaque Interactions for Disease Transmission
During wildlife tourism, proximity or actual contact between people and animals may lead to a significant risk of anthropozoonotic disease transmission. In this paper, we use social network analysis, disease simulation modelling and data on animal health and behaviour to investigate such risks at a site in Morocco, where tourists come to see wild Barbary macaques (Macaca sylvanus). Measures of individual macaques' network centrality-an index of t…
Correlates of androgens in wild male Barbary macaques
Investigating causes and consequences of variation in hormonal expression is a key focus in behavioral ecology. Many studies have explored patterns of secretion of the androgen testosterone in male vertebrates, using the challenge hypothesis (Wingfield, Hegner, Dufty, & Ball, 1990; The American Naturalist, 136(6), 829-846) as a theoretical framework. Rather than the classic association of testosterone with male sexual behavior, this hypothesis pr…
Assembly Mounds in the Danelaw
The mound as a focus for early medieval assembly is found widely throughout Northern Europe in the first millennium AD. Some have argued such features are evidence of early practices situated around places of ancestral importance, others that an elite need for legitimate power drove such adoptions. Elsewhere evidence for purpose-built mounds suggests they were intrinsic to the staging of events at an assembly and could be manufactured if needed. …
Salivary cortisol and α‐amylase responses to repeated bouts of downhill running
The 24 h period group effect for salivary α-amylase suggested an adaptation in the sympathoadrenal system that may alter the systemic inflammatory response to exercise-induced muscle damage but may also reflect enhanced mucosal immunity
Personality Traits in Rhesus Macaques (Macaca mulatta) Are Heritable but Do Not Predict Reproductive Output
A Comparison of Body Size, Coat Condition and Endoparasite Diversity of Wild Barbary Macaques Exposed to Different Levels of Tourism
Primate tourism is a rapidly growing industry with the potential to provide considerable conservation benefits. However, assessing the impact of tourists on the animals involved is vital to ensure that the conservation value of primate tourism is maximized. In this study, we compared body size, coat condition, and endoparasite diversity of wild, adult Barbary macaques exposed to different levels of tourism. Study animals belonged to three groups …
Ancestral, spiritual, and magical?
Ancient monuments were just one element of a wider numinous natural world. The supernatural opportunities of the grave, the barrow, and ancient monuments existed as components in a landscape within which all things could be potent to greater and lesser extents. This chapter moves beyond mortuary practices and examines the variety of other pre-Christian activities that exploited prehistoric monuments as a setting. The use of the prehistoric by ear…
Perceptions of the Prehistoric in Anglo-Saxon England
This title represents an unparalleled exploration of the place of prehistoric monuments in the Anglo-Saxon psyche, and examines how Anglo-Saxon communities perceived and used these monuments during the period AD 400-1100.

Assembly in North West Europe
The archaeological study of assembly practices in the medieval west is often met with scepticism. The reliance on late documentary records and place-names, and the difficulties inherent in defining what actually constituted an ‘assembly’, are just some of the issues that face researchers. This paper brings together some of the first collated and excavated evidence by the HERA TAP project 1, and offers a cross-European perspective, drawing attenti…
Places of assembly
This paper reviews recent field results from Sweden and England demonstrating that currently held perceptions of assembly-sites as archaic and cultic are only partially accurate. Evidence has emerged for the purposeful creation of assembly locations in the fourth to eleventh centuries AD as one of the many processes of kingdom formation. In common with other modes of expression such as burial, \nthe creation of assembly sites was often undertaken…
A fear of the past
Archaeological investigation is revealing a consistent tradition of Anglo‐Saxon secondary activity, occurring at Bronze Age burial mounds and Neolithic long barrows. Through a discussion of archaeological, historical, literary and linguistic sources relating to barrows and other types of prehistoric monument, this paper seeks to illustrate the distinctive place of the barrow in Anglo‐Saxon society and ideology. It is intended to demonstrate that …

Uses and recycling of brick in medieval and Tudor English buildings
Luminescence dating has been applied to ceramic bricks sampled from a selection of English medieval ecclesiastical and secular buildings in Essex, Kent and Lincolnshire, ranging in age from the fourth to the late sixteenth centuries. The results obtained for the Anglo-Saxon churches, which included Brixworth, confirmed the reuse of Roman brick in all cases. The dates for the earliest medieval brick type indicate that brick making was reintroduced…
Sexual Skin Color Contains Information About the Timing of the Fertile Phase in Free-ranging Macaca mulatta
Polities and Princes Ad 400–800
Burials, borders and boundaries are themes much pursued in early medieval research. Barrow burials, in particular, have been suggested as markers or ‘sentinel graves’; funerary monuments used to define territorial boundaries and entrance points to kingdoms. This paper assesses the burial evidence of the fifth to eighth centuries from West Sussex, England, taking a topographic perspective and examining the uses made of ancient remains and natural …

Defining the OE hearg
The OE term hearg is interpreted variously as ‘pagan temple’, ‘hilltop sanctuary’ and even ‘idol’. It is a rare survival in the English place‐name record. When it can be identified, the place name is commonly considered to refer to a location of pre‐Christian religious activity, specifically a pagan Anglo‐Saxon temple. Taking inspiration from the extensive and methodologically well‐advanced studies in Scandinavia, which have successfully related …

Illustrations of damnation in late Anglo-Saxon manuscripts
‘Many tribulations and hardships shall arise in this world before its end, and they are heralds of the eternal perdition to evil men, who shall afterwards suffer eternally in the black hell for their sins.’ These words, composed by Ælfric in the last decade of the tenth century, reflect a preoccupation in the late Anglo-Saxon Church with perdition and the infernal punishments that awaited sinners and heathens. Perhaps stimulated in part by anxiet…
The Non-Geographer
This paper is concerned with epistemological and attitudinal problems encountered in communicating geographical concepts to non-geographers. It reflects a Canadian context and offers a case study of a group of non-geographers whose special needs are often overlooked: the teachers of social studies. An inductive approach, using systematic geography only as required in order to understand a case study, is found to be effective in building bridges f…

Information content of female copulation calls in yellow baboons
In a wide variety of animal species, females produce vocalizations just before, during, or immediately after copulation. Observational and experimental evidence indicates that these copulation calls are sexually selected traits, functioning to promote competition between males for access to the calling female. In this paper, we present an acoustic analysis of variation in the form of copulation calls of female yellow baboons, Papio cynocephalus c…

The function of teeth chattering in male Barbary macaques ( Macaca sylvanus )
Teeth chattering is seen in many primate species and has been proposed to have a range of social functions. This observational study tested specific hypotheses relating to the function of teeth chattering in a semi‐free‐ranging group of Barbary macaques, Macaca sylvanus . During focal watches of males, the outcome of male–male dyadic social interactions in which teeth chattering was present or absent was compared. Using these data, we tested the …

Reciprocation and interchange of grooming, agonistic support, feeding tolerance, and aggression in semi‐free‐ranging Barbary macaques
Evidence from a range of primate species indicates that grooming can be exchanged either for itself or for other rank‐related “commodities,” such as agonistic support, feeding tolerance, or reduced aggression. Patterns of exchange behavior have been found to vary considerably between species, and understanding the causes of this variation is central to the study of the evolution of primate social systems. It is, therefore, essential that exchange…
