  • Carved stone in Mesolithic Cornwall

    Chris Carey, A M Jones et al.•ARTICLE•World Archaeology•2026

    Shaped and carved stone is a fundamental component of the archaeological record from the Mesolithic period across the UK. Whilst flint is the central element of this archaeological record, there is also a significant non-flint lithic component to many British Mesolithic sites that has been somewhat understudied. Within Cornwall, south-west Britain, research into this non-flint lithic component, partially retrieved through innovative methods of wh…

  • Thermal‐Infrared Measurements of the North‐East Tower at Ardrossan Castle

    Open Access•M Bowry, Amanda Simpson et al.•ARTICLE•Archaeological Prospection•2025

    Thermal‐infrared imaging of buildings is used to investigate a range of phenomena including the accumulation of moisture. In general, the presence of moisture poses a direct danger to historic structures and must be characterized prior to any intervention. Many low‐cost imaging solutions are available which has made the technology more accessible. In the current work, TIR imagery (10 m) of a likely gatehouse in the north‐east corner of Ardrossan …

  • From Land's End to the Levant

    Open Access•R Alan Williams, Mariacarmela Montesanto et al.•ARTICLE•Antiquity•2025•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 30

    Bronze Age–Early Iron Age tin ingots recovered from four Mediterranean shipwrecks off the coasts of Israel and southern France can now be provenanced to tin ores in south-west Britain. These exceptionally rich and accessible ores played a fundamental role in the transition from copper to full tin-bronze metallurgy across Europe and the Mediterranean during the second millennium BC. The authors’ application of a novel combination of three independ…

  • The Evolution of a Social Problem

    A M Jones, Adrian Jones et al.•ARTICLE•Deviant Behavior•2024•Referencias: 14

    We illustrate the evolution of a social problem by describing the history of the switchblade knife and claims used by moral entrepreneurs to change the switchblade’s legal status in American. To investigate this issue, we conduct a historical-event analysis using legal documents, newspapers, magazines, advertisements, books, and testimonials. We argue that the switchblade’s deviant status evolved not from the objective harm it caused, but rather,…

  • The Early Bronze Age Log Coffin Burials of Britain

    Open Access•A M Jones, Griffith et al.•ARTICLE•Proceedings of the Prehistoric…•2023•Referencias: 53

    This paper describes the results from a project to obtain radiocarbon determinations from Early Bronze Age log coffin burials. Log coffins have been recognised as a burial tradition since antiquarian excavations uncovered the first examples. However, comparatively few are associated with radiocarbon determinations and many old determinations are very imprecise. To address this, seven log coffin burials were identified across England, and 11 sampl…

  • Tregiffian

    Open Access•A M Jones, Derek A Hamilton et al.•ARTICLE•Oxford Journal of Archaeology•2023•Referencias: 26

    The Tregiffian project involved the analysis and dating of the archive from unpublished excavations in the 1960s and 1970s at an entrance grave in Penwith, Cornwall. A major aim of the project was to establish a robust chronological basis for the use of the entrance grave for burial: 10 samples of cremated human bone were submitted for radiocarbon dating and Bayesian modelling undertaken. The modelling indicates that the use of the chamber for bu…

  • Beaker and Early Bronze Age Tin Exploitation in Cornwall

    Open Access•Chris Carey, Christina Tsoraki et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Archaeology•2022•Citada por: 6•Referencias: 4

    The appearance of Beaker pottery in Britain and Ireland during the twenty-fifth century bc marks a significant archaeological horizon, being synchronous with the first metal artefacts. The adoption of arsenical copper, mostly from Ireland, was followed by that of tin-bronze around 2200 bc . However, whilst the copper mine of Ross Island in Ireland is securely dated to the Early Bronze Age, and further such mines in the UK have been dated to the E…

  • The social organisation of metalworking in southern England during the Beaker period and Bronze Age

    Open Access•Chris Carey, A M Jones et al.•ARTICLE•Internet Archaeology•2019•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 24

    This paper attempts to consider the social dimensions of metalworking during the Beaker period and Bronze Age in southern England. However, any attempt to discuss the social context of metalworking in these periods, i.e. who was working metals and where these activities occurred, is confronted with an extremely low evidence base of excavated archaeological sites where metalworking is known to have taken place. This lack of data and subsequent und…

  • Loose Howe; A North Yorkshire Log Coffin Boat Burial(s) Revisited

    Open Access•A M Jones, Richard Brunning et al.•ARTICLE•Oxford Journal of Archaeology•2019•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 23

    In 1937 a large barrow in north‐east Yorkshire was excavated by Mrs H. W. and Dr F. Elgee. A primary deposit comprising a ‘canoe’‐shaped log coffin and what were described as two ‘log boats’ or ‘canoes’ was uncovered beneath the mound. The burial did not survive; however, the ‘canoe’‐shaped coffin was found to contain an Early Bronze Age Merthyr Mawr‐type dagger, flints and some hazelnuts. Subsequently, a cremation was inserted into the top of th…

  • Hendraburnick ‘Quoit’

    A M Jones, Thomas Goskar•ARTICLE•Time and Mind•2017

    In 2013 a small-scale excavation was carried at Hendraburnick ‘Quoit’, which is located north Cornwall. The project was undertaken to establish whether the site was a ruined megalith and to obtain dating for the cup-marks which had been recorded at the site. The excavation revealed that the ‘quoit’ was a large propped ‘axe-shaped’ stone that had been set upon a low platform of slates, and that a second fallen standing stone was located at the eas…

  • Ritual, Rubbish or Everyday Life? Evidence from a Middle Bronze Age Settlement in Mid-Cornwall

    A M Jones•ARTICLE•Archaeological Journal•2015•Citada por: 3•Referencias: 12

    The recognition of ritual and ritualized practices within the setting of Middle Bronze Age settlements has undoubtedly provided a useful way of interpreting archaeological deposits. There is, however, a danger that now that ritual has become widely accepted, the application of ‘meta’ or generic paradigms for explaining the archaeological record will lead to a loss of subtlety in interpretation, and that variation and diversity between settlements…

    The B ronze A ge barrow groups of W essex have primarily been classified as places of burial where lineages were marked and mourners deployed to create mythologized links with the recently dead and the ancestors. These chalkland barrow cemeteries are associated with a range of barrow forms – bowl barrows and ‘fancy’ barrows, the latter comprising disc, bell, pond and saucer types. Whilst funerary activity was undoubtedly an important activity wit…

  • From Landscape to Portable Art

    Open Access•A M Jones, Graeme Kirkham•ARTICLE•European Journal of Archaeology•2013•Citada por: 5•Referencias: 5

    South-west Britain—Cornwall, Devon and west Somerset—has featured little in discussions of British rock art. However, although it lacks the complex motifs found in northern Britain or the rich ornamentation of the Irish passage graves, it has a growing number of sites with simple cup-marks and stands at a pivotal location in the wider distribution of this form of rock art within north-west Europe. This paper considers the cup-mark tradition in so…

    In 1984 two roundhouses within the Bronze Age settlement at Bosiliack were partially excavated by Jeannette Ratclife and Charles Thomas on behalf of the Institute of Cornish Studies. Six radiocarbon determinations have now been obtained on charcoal from these. The dates fall into two groups, with three in the later part of the Bronze Age in the centuries between 1390 and 1000 cal. BC, and three in the Iron Age between 750 and 200 cal. BC. The rad…

    In 1990 a stone covered pit containing a Trevisker Ware vessel was found eroding from the cliffs at Harlyn Bay and excavated. The vessel contained cremated bone from several individuals with some animal bone, quartz pebbles, and a small bronze pendant. A radiocarbon date on the cremated bone fell in the range 2120–1880 cal bc and is a valuable addition to the small number of securely-dated Early Bronze Age burials in Cornwall with metalwork assoc…

  • Misplaced Monuments

    Open Access•A M Jones•ARTICLE•Oxford Journal of Archaeology•2010

    Both large‐ and small‐scale ceremonial monuments are a well‐known feature of the third and second millennia cal BC. However, from the middle of the second millennium cal BC the character of the evidence changes, firstly with the appearance of widespread settlement remains, and then in the earlier first millennium cal BC with the appearance of hillforts. This paper considers the evidence from a number of newly discovered enclosures in Cornwall, wh…

  • Houses for the Dead and Cairns for the Living; A Reconsideration of the Early to Middle Bronze Age Transition in South‐west England

    Open Access•A M Jones•ARTICLE•Oxford Journal of Archaeology•2008•Citada por: 3•Referencias: 28

    The Early to Middle Bronze Age transition period has often been interpreted as involving a move to ‘rational’ food‐producing societies. More recently, models have been advanced which have highlighted the presence of ritualized practices within Middle Bronze Age society. However, many of these interpretations have largely been based upon evidence from excavated settlements in central southern England. This paper examines the need to consider the t…

    The European Neolithic has often been figured in ideational terms. The transformations that gave rise to sedentism, agriculture and the construction of monuments have been explained either in terms of abstract symbolic schemes or as a change in worldview and cosmology. As an alternative, this article suggests that a greater emphasis needs to be placed on the constitution of the person during this period of transformation. Instead of focusing on t…

    There are two standpoints from which to survey African music. One is the impressionist point of view. This seeks to evaluate the total effect of the music on the listener or the performer. It is concerned more with quality than with detail; with descriptions of the people and the instruments engaged in making the music and the sort of sound they produce. It is an aesthetic approach and is therefore essentially subjective in character. It attempts…

    THIS ESSAY IS AN APPEAL to scholars of various disciplines to bring their knowledge to bear on a thesis which has arisen in the first place purely from musical evidence.

    But Professor Mantle Hood maintains that the Pelog tuning has an elastic quality, whereby intervals may be stretched or compressed, so that to speak of a fixed standard tuning is not in accord with the actual situation. Indeed Kunst himself (1949:251-2) states that gamelans of the Principalities are classed into different species both according to their absolute pitch and according to the mutual relation between the intervals.

Recently an opportunity has presented itself to the writer to test the tuning of one of these xylophones, and it is this tuning which is the subject of this essay: at the same time the opportunity is taken to discuss some of the factors attending an exercise of this sort. For some ten months last year, Miss Ann Osborn, du…
