The Domestication and Exploitation of Plants and Animals
The domestication of plants and animals was one of the greatest steps forward taken by mankind. Although it was first achieved long ago, we still need to know what led to it and how, and even when, it took place. Only when we have this understanding will we be able to appreciate fully the important social and economic consequences of this step. Even more important, an understanding of this achievement is basic to any insight into modern man's rel…
Domestication and Exploitation of Plants and Animals
Human environment at the Institute of Archaeology, 1964-1979
Geoffrey Dimbleby succeeded Frederick Zeuner as the senior environmental archaeologist at the Institute in 1964, on his appointment to the newly named Chair of Human Environment. He retired in 1979, and here recalls how he first became involved in environmental archaeology and how research in the subject developed during his years at the Institute. (Fig. 1)

The Palynology of Archaeological Sites.
A pioneer in the area of soil pollen analysis, the author distills his wealth of practical experience in this volume to show how soil pollen sheds light on the relationship between ancient man and his environment. The uses and dangers of these techniques are discussed and illustrated with the help of over thirty pollen profiles. Numerous references to similar studies in Europe, Africa, and America place the author's work in the widest possible pe…

The Excavation of an Iron Age Souterrain and Settlement at Carn Euny, Sancreed, Cornwall
The ancient village of Carn Euny, formerly known as Chapel Euny, lies on a south-west slope just above the 500 foot contour in the parish of Sancreed in West Cornwall (fig. 1). The granite uplands of the region are rich in antiquities, as a glance at a recent survey shows (Russell 1971), not least those of the prehistoric period. The hill on which the site is situated is crowned by the circular Iron Age Fort of Caer Brane (pl. 27). Across the dry…

The Excavation of a Neolithic Settlement on Broome Heath, Ditchingham, Norfolk, England
The excavation of the earthwork and part of the interior of a C-shaped enclosure in south Norfolk produced evidence of a Neolithic occupation from the mid fourth to the late third millennium B.C. The earthwork was constructed at the end of the third millennium B.C. and palaeobotanical analyses of the fossil soil beneath it produced information concerning the environment of the time. Quantities of pot-sherds and stone tools were recorded from the …

Excavations at the Early Neolithic Site at Nea Nikomedeia, Greek Macedonia (1961 season)
The site of the early prehistoric farming settlement at Nea Nikomedeia, Western Macedonia, was first noted in 1958 by Mr Photios Petsas, Ephore of Antiquities of the area for the Greek Archaeological Service: he investigated the reported discovery of archaeological finds exposed during the course of removing earth from an inconspicuous mound to make a road embankment, and forthwith stopped further destruction of the site. His willing advice and a…

The Experimental Earthwork on Overton Down, Wiltshire, England
The Overton Down earthwork was constructed in 1960, the first of a series designed to study the changes which take place with time in a bank and ditch, and in selected materials buried within the bank. Full details of the construction of the earthwork are given by Jewell (1963); as this report will be referred to repeatedly, for simplicity it will in future be called the Basic Manual . The experiment was designed to be sectioned at intervals of 2…

Further Excavations at a Mesolithic Site at Oakhanger, Selborne, Hants
The author has already published a full account of the investigation of a mesolithic chipping-floor (Warren V) on the Lower Greensand of East Hampshire in the parish of Oakhanger, near Selborne (fig. 1). The present report is concerned with another (Warren VII), discovered early in 1957 only a few yards to the north-west (fig. 2) and excavated later that year and in 1958. The interest of the new site is partly that it supplements and enlarges cer…
A Mesolithic Site on Iping Common, Sussex, England
The Iping Mesolithic site, found by Mr O. Knowles of Iping, lies on undulating Lower Greensand near the edge of a marsh which extends down to a pond and permanent spring (Sheet 181 O.S. 1′′. 8485–2221). The site was totally excavated in 1960–61, by the West Sussex Excavation Group, following its accidental discovery. It consisted of a roughly circular area, about 25 feet across, of stained sand (Layer C) stratified between white sands (Layers B a…

The Lanhill Long Barrow, Wiltshire, England
The destruction of barrows and other monuments of antiquity has become an everyday occurrence. In earlier centuries many things survived, as in Ireland in more recent times, by reason of public superstition or veneration, in which the invocation of the fairies and the little people has played a lively part. It is astonishing how much survived the ages of ignorance. There is irony in the situation. For the main onslaught of destruction, it must be…

The Ancient Forest of Blackamore
The wildness and desolation of moorland, even when seen on a fine summer’s day, can give an overpowering impression of land untamed by man, land in which man is the interloper and not the master. The word primaeval usually comes to mind and, indeed, even modern geography books sometimes describe these areas as the last strongholds of wild nature. It is recognized, of course, that man burns the moor at intervals to facilitate turf-cutting or to pr…
Pollen Analysis as an Aid to the Dating of Prehistoric Monuments
In the course of enquiries into the nature of the primary vegetation of Britain and its associated soils, the soils buried under prehistoric earthworks have provided valuable material. Such work is usually carried out on barrows which can be dated by the archaeological finds in them, but occasionally samples have been examined from undated barrows. Pollen analysis of the old land surface under an earthwork gives a broad picture of the vegetation …
Excavation of a Barrow near the Hardy Monument, Black Down, Portesham, Dorset
The barrow whose excavation is described below was situated about 770 feet above Ordnance Datum a hundred yards south of the Hardy Monument on Black Down Hill, Portesham, on the edge of a large gravel pit. In the winning of gravel during the war the face of the pit had been worked round the barrow on both sides destroying the southern half of the ditch and part of the south side of the mound. As the mound was slowly falling into the gravel pit, i…
