Bead making and making beads in the African past
The papers in this volume provide a timely and coherent set of studies of a particular kind of material culture that have a relevance that extends beyond the boundaries of artefactual form and geog
Not All That Glitters is Gold? Rock Crystal in the Early British Neolithic at Dorstone Hill, Herefordshire, and the Wider British and Irish Context
Evidence for working rock crystal, a rare form of water-clear type of quartz, is occasionally recovered from prehistoric sites in Britain and Ireland, however, very little has been written on the specific methods of working this material, and its potential significance in the past. This paper presents the first synthesis of rock crystal evidence from Britain and Ireland, before examining a new assemblage from the Early Neolithic site of Dorstone …
Taking Risks on Behalf of Another
A growing number of decision theorists have, in recent years, defended the view that rationality is permissive under risk: Different rational agents may be more or less risk-averse or risk-inclined. This can result in them making different choices under risk even if they value outcomes in exactly the same way. One pressing question that arises once we grant such permissiveness is what attitude to risk we should implement when choosing on behalf o…

Neolithization and Population Replacement in Britain
Investigation of British Mesolithic and Neolithic genomes suggests discontinuity between the two and has been interpreted as indicating a significant migration of continental farmers, displacing the indigenous population. These incomers had already acquired some hunter-gatherer genetic heritage before their arrival, and this increased little in Britain. However, the proportion of hunter-gatherer genetic ancestry in British Neolithic genomes is ge…
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 …
A British Perspective on Bjørnar Olsen’s “After Interpretation”
Response to Apel and Darmark
observe, the conceptual ap- proaches that we employ in archaeology have fundamental implica- tions, affecting not only the questions that we ask about the past, but the way that we understand both our evidence and the place of our in- vestigation within contemporary society. Theory matters, and debates like the present one are critical to the continued vitality of our disci- pline. However, I disagree strongly with their arguments for an evo- lut…
Insignificance
In their introduction to the discussion ofBeiläufigkeitin archaeology, Pollock, Bernbeck, Appel, Loy and Schreiber build pleasingly on the theme of what Daniel Miller refers to as the ‘humility’ of physical things (2010, 50). By this he means that objects do not determine or prescribe the actions of human beings, but mutely establish the circumstances under which we operate, conditioning our expectations of how to proceed. Things are often not co…

This article provides insights into the ethnicity of academics employed by Aotearoa New Zealand's eight universities, with a particular focus on Mori academics. We show that, despite values espoused by universities in terms of diversity and within their equity policies regarding Mori staff, there has been no progress in increasing the Mori academic workforce. Mori academics were severely under-represented at universities between 2012 and 2017, co…
Influence of gender on the tactical skill and motivational aspects in invasion sports in Physical Education
The main purpose of the present study was to compare the objective, perceived and conceptual tactical skill in invasion sports (indoor football and basketball) between male and female elementary schoolchildren; and secondarily was to compare between genders, physical activity ́s levels, intention to be physically active, perceived coordination/competence, intrinsic satisfaction in sport and climate task in Physical Education.

Cattle, consumption and causewayed enclosures (response to Parmenter, Johnson and Outram)
This article takes issue with Parmenter, Johnson and Outram’s (2015) characterization of the faunal assemblages from causewayed enclosures as indistinguishable from those from domestic sites. Their study of bone processing at Etton is helpful and innovative, but they neglect other aspects of assemblage variability, while their account of Neolithic subsistence in Britain underplays differences across space and time. A distinction can be made at ca…
Al-Ashoosh
The archaeological site of Al-Ashoosh is a third-millennium BC settlement located in the Rub al-Khali Desert (or Empty Quarter), 70km south of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) (Figure 1). This site provides an excellent example of the type of occupation of the inland deserts of the Oman peninsula during the period following the Holocene Climatic Optimum. Between November 2015 and May 2016, the Dubai Municipality and the Sanisera Archaeolog…

Analgesic and antipyretic effects of Sansevieria trifasciata leaves
The ethanol and water extracts of Sansevieria trifasciata leaves showed dose-dependent and significant (P < 0.05) increase in pain threshold in tail-immersion test. Moreover, both the extracts (100 - 200 mg/kg) exhibited a dose-dependent inhibition of writhing and also showed a significant (P < 0.001) inhibition of both phases of the formalin pain test. The ethanol extract (200 mg/kg) significantly (P < 0.01) reversed yeast-induced fever. Prelimi…
Representing Children's Identities in Core Assessments
This paper reports findings from a qualitative research study of twenty-six core assessments, concerning thirty-two children, completed over a six-month period in one Welsh local authority. The data reported in the paper come from the twenty-six written assessment reports and interviews with the thirteen social workers who completed the assessments. The study was concerned with how social workers assess and report on children's identities. Identi…

t was the final gathering of pastors at the Joe R.

Women and Abortion in 1930s Britain
This paper examines over 3,000 questionnaires on abortion that were distributed through the National Birthday Trust Fund, a non-governmental orrganization, to working-class women in municipal hospitals in 1930s Britain. The aim of the survey was to "discover the proportion of induced to spontaneous abortions". Although the study was abandoned due to weaknesses in its design, the collected data contain a mass of detailed information about the live…
Independence and Collective Action
Recent articles published in this journal by Pollnac and Poggie (1991) and Durrenberger (1992) have presented contrasting views on commercial fishermen's independence and inclination to act collectively. The respective claims of the two articles are evaluated in the context of recent social scientific theory and research on unionism and the labor movement. Further, historical evidence of collective organizing, including documentary records and co…
Cartel Stability in an Exhaustible Resource Model

Pulmonary Ventilatory Functions of Coalminers in Various Areas in Relation to the X-ray Category of Pneumoconiosis
Although medical opinion is in general agreed that progressive massive fibrosis can cause pulmonary disability, there is little evidence from unselected populations and there is considerable difference of opinion about simple pneumoconiosis. The early literature on the subject has been well summarized by Gilson and Hugh-Jones (1955), and Higgins, Oldham, Cochrane, and Gilson (1956), Carpenter, Cochrane, Gilson, and Higgins (1956), and Newell and …

The Dominican Model
August 16,1980, marked the second anniversary of the inauguration of Antonio Guzman as president of the Dominican Republic. On election day in the spring of 1978, military forces had seized the ballot boxes when it became clear that their favorite, the incumbent president, Joaquin Balaguer, was losing to the candidate of the Dominican Revolutionary Party (PRD). A stern warning from the Carter administration, plus an outcry from a cross section of…

Cross-Cultural Discourse as 'Unequal Encounter'
In a previous paper in this journal (Thomas 1983a), I put forward the notion of ‘pragmatic failure’ (which I distinguished from linguistic error) and I discussed some of the underlying reason for the fact that non-native speakers often seem inappropriately over-assertive or domineering when talking English. In a second (unrelated) paper on the language of asymmetrical discourse (see Thomas 1983b), I described a range of pragmatic and discoursal f…

Stress and Distress among Gulf of Mexico Shrimp Fishermen
Previous research documents that shrimp fishing is physically and mentally challenging work. Workers typically encounter intense exposure to such stressors as work overload, concerns about safety, dangerous weather conditions, and separation from family. In addition, recent regulatory changes and increased competition from imported shrimp have intensified the difficulties U.S. shrimpers face. From Fall 1993 through Fall 1994, data were collected …

Time, Culture and Identity
Culture and identity
Throughout its history, archaeology has concerned itself with the cultural lives of past peoples. Moreover, throughout the twentieth century, nationalist and ethnocentric interpretations of the past have been built upon the understanding that there was some direct relationship between assemblages of material culture preserved in the present and human groups which existed in the past (Champion and DiazAndreu 1995; Graves-Brown et al. 1995). Howeve…
