Not a place for respectable people, but the ends of the earth converge there
New data, recovered by the Eastern Badia Archaeological Project, from substantial structures at Wisad Pools have provided insights into the nature and context of eastern Jordan’s Black Desert Neolithic cultural complex, dating to between c. 7000 and 5000 cal. BC. Hunter-herder-trapper communities, with economies based partially on ante-mortem exploitation of domestic sheep, were adept at maintaining a balance between local and non-local adaptatio…
The prehistoric site of Oued Beht, Khémisset, Morocco
This report presents the first in-depth publication of preliminary data from Oued Beht, northwest Morocco, a remarkable site initially identified in the 1930s and now newly investigated. It is based on fieldwork undertaken in 2021–2022 (photogrammetry, survey and excavation), and associated study and analyses. Oued Beht is shown to be a large site of ca. 9–10 hectares in main extent, with many deep pits and convincing evidence for a full package …

Collecting myself
This paper reflects on an interior design practice developed within the specialist area of exhibitions and museums. Re-examining discussions around the contested territory of interiors, the paper argues for taking up perspectives and processes outside of the familiar, being unfixed whilst remaining inherently ‘of the interior’. Using exhibition design as a distinct lens, ‘the collection’ and its mediation are examined through a personal creative …
Epipalaeolithic and Neolithic gazelle hunting in the Badia of north-east Jordan. Reconstruction of seasonal movements of herds by stable isotope and dental microwear analyses
In the north-east Jordan steppe, gazelle were of considerable economic importance to human groups during the Epipalaeolithic and Neolithic. An influential model argues that gazelle herds migrated through the region and were only seasonally available to hunters. This study tests that model, asking whether gazelle were indeed highly seasonally mobile during these time frames, or whether they could have remained more local, adapted to periodically r…

Environment, seasonality and hunting strategies as influences on Natufian food procurement
Analysis of the faunal assemblage from Shubayqa 1 allows detailed discussion of food procurement through the sequence of occupation spanning the Early and Late Natufian. The influence of climate, season of occupation and hunting techniques on the subsistence economy is discussed. It is argued that targeted prey varied throughout the year, with mass hunting methods providing a large proportion of the meat. In the Late Natufian a decrease in passag…
Faunal turnover in the Azraq Basin, eastern Jordan 28,000 to 9000 cal yr BP, signalling climate change and human impact
Recent zooarchaeological analyses of game exploitation in the Epipalaeolithic of the Southern Levant identify a decline in large game in the Natufian, with corresponding increase in small prey, interpreted as hunting pressure driven by population expansion. To date, studies focus on the Mediterranean zone. This paper adopts similar approaches to examine Epipalaeolithic to Neolithic faunal data from 16 sites in the steppic Jordanian Azraq Basin. R…
Analytical Surveys of Stonehenge and its Environs, 2009–2013
Non-invasive survey in the Stonehenge ‘Triangle’, Amesbury, Wiltshire, has highlighted a number of features that have a significant bearing on the interpretation of the site. Geophysical anomalies may signal the position of buried stones adding to the possibility of former stone arrangements, while laser scanning has provided detail on the manner in which the stones have been dressed; some subsequently carved with axe and dagger symbols. The prob…
Data Sharing Reveals Complexity in the Westward Spread of Domestic Animals across Neolithic Turkey
This study presents the results of a major data integration project bringing together primary archaeozoological data for over 200,000 faunal specimens excavated from seventeen sites in Turkey spanning the Epipaleolithic through Chalcolithic periods, c. 18,000-4,000 cal BC, in order to document the initial westward spread of domestic livestock across Neolithic central and western Turkey. From these shared datasets we demonstrate that the westward …
Analytical Surveys of Stonehenge and its Immediate Environs, 2009–2013
Integrated non-invasive survey in the Stonehenge ‘triangle’, Amesbury, Wiltshire, has highlighted a number of features that have a significant bearing on the interpretation of the site. Among them are periglacial and natural topographical structures, including a chalk mound that may have influenced site development. Some geophysical anomalies are similar to the post-holes in the car park of known Mesolithic date, while others beneath the barrows …
Seasonal aggregation and ritual slaughter
Benjamin Franklin, William Hewson and the Craven Street bones
Renovation of the house in London where Benjamin Franklin lived has led to the discovery of the remains of a late eighteenth-century anatomy school. Investigations by bioarchaeologists from the Institute are revealing William Hewson's remarkable contribution to the development of anatomical science
UCL Institute of Archaeology Research Networks
During the 2010-11 academic year, the Institute of Archaeology undertook a re-evaluation of its internal research structures, which until then had been in the form of five overarching Research Groups (Environment and Culture, Material Culture and Data Science, Social and Cultural Dynamics, Complex and Literate Societies, Heritage Studies) which academic staff and researchers joined for seminars and discussion.The new proposal in 2010-11 was to di…
Hunting, herding, feasting
The Neolithic site of Catalhoyuk became world famous in the 1960s when it was excavated by James Mellaart, who was then on the staff of the Institute of Archaeology. He obtained detailed evidence of the daily and ritual lives of the people who lived there, including wall paintings and other elaborate decoration of buildings, with frequent representations of animals. Since 1993, Catalhoyuk has Become the focus of a major new research project, whic…
Cattle Cults of the Arabian Neolithic and Early Territorial Societies
At the cusp of food production, Near Eastern societies adopted new territorial practices, including archaeologically visible sedentism and nonsedentary social defenses more challenging to identify archaeologically. New archaeological and paleoenvironmental evidence for Arabia's earliest-known sacrifices points to territorial maintenance in arid highland southern Yemen. Here sedentism was not an option prior to agriculture. Seasonally mobile pasto…
Fauna from the Natufian and PPNA Cave Site of Iraq ed-Dubb in Highland Jordan
L’occupation de la grotte Iraq ed-Dubb a pris place pendant le Natoufien récent et le PPNA. Elle nous procure une rare occasion d’étudier le comportement humain dans un même site au cours d’une période de changements climatiques importants. Les chasseurs-cueilleurs utilisaient alors des techniques novatrices de gestion des plantes, préludes au futur style de vie fermier. Cet article se penche principalement sur les analyses zooarchéologiques et t…

The age of Stonehenge
Stonehenge is the icon of British prehistory, and continues to inspire ingenious investigations and interpretations. A current campaign of research, being waged by probably the strongest archaeological team ever assembled, is focused not just on the monument, but on its landscape, its hinterland and the monuments within it. The campaign is still in progress, but the story so far is well worth reporting. Revisiting records of 100 years ago the aut…
A rival to Stonehenge? Geophysical survey at Stanton Drew, England
The development of geophysical survey remains a spearhead-priority for new research and cultural resource management alike - since geophysics can find and map sites without destroying them. However, there are current weaknesses of sensitivity and resolution - the instruments cannot easily "see" small features like graves and post-holes of which so many ancient sites are principally composed. Great hopes have been invested in caesium vapour magnet…

Prehistoric Environment and Settlement in the Azraq Basin
Recent excavations in the south-west Azraq Basin (Jordan) have shed significant new light on the origins of pastoralism, the “burin site” phenomenon and arid-land adaptations between the Early Pre-Pottery Neolithic B and the Early Phase of the Late Neolithic. This article outlines results of excavations at four neighbouring sites in the Wadi el-Jilat which were occupied at stages between c. 7,500 and 5,500 B.C. uncalibrated.
Prehistoric Environment and Settlement in the Azraq Basin
The Azraq project conducted excavations at the Neolithic sites of Azraq 31 and Wadi el-Jilat 32 in 1989. At Azraq 31 we wished to establish whether distinct late PPNB and Late Neolithic occupations existed and whether caprines (= sheep/goat) were herded as early as the late PPNB. Very low numbers of caprines in the late PPNB were documented at Azraq 31. Substantially higher proportions of caprines were found in the Late Neolithic phase. This rais…
