I. Étude archéologique
In 1999, after the felling of the pine trees which had covered and protected it until then, this long barrow presented a breach, evidence of the early 20th-century exploration of the monument. It was decided merely to clear this trench in order to define the barrow 's internal structure and verify the presence of a possible burial chamber before filling in the breach to consolidate the tumulus. The exceptional state of conservation of a monument …
On the urns of a dilemma
Radiocarbon dates are presented for distinctive types of British Late Neolithic pottery, identifying questions which cannot yet be resolved
The discovery of the past
This study investigates the ways in which mankind, from antiquity to the 19th century, became conscious of the past. From Nabonidus, King of Babylon, to Jefferson, via St Augustine, Petrarch and Newton, the book looks at the various ways in which the past has been used as a means of both understanding and manipulating the present. The work presents archaeological research and discovery through the extensive use of quotations from primary sources
Radiocarbon Results for the British Beakers
The beginning of the Bronze Age in the British Isles has traditionally been marked by the appearance, in the archaeological record, of Beaker assemblages, mainly characterized by the Beaker pottery form itself. Ceramic typologies based on this style, which is undoubtedly continental in origin, have been used both for relative dating and as evidence of the social and economic developments of the period. Systematic radiocarbon dating has been attem…
Le Gardien Du Tombeau
The unique carving of an armed human figure on a capstone in the Déhus passage grave, Guernsey, has been known for some 70 years but has hitherto eluded parallels and explanation. With the stimulus of recent researches in Brittany, it is now possible to suggest that here too is an example oficonoclasm and incorporation associated with the inception of the Neolithic and the formative stages of megalithic traditions
Megaliths in Action
The wealth of evidence for Channel Islands megaliths is surveyed, with some attention to the contribution of the archaeological family Lukis. Detailed studies of distribution and relative survival demonstrate one advantage of the insular circumstance. A review of structural diversity, associations, and mortuary rites provides a local schema and this is placed within the framework for north-west France. The effects of insularity versus wider devel…
Bush Barrow gold
The group of gold objects excavated in 1808 from Bush Barrow, a little to the south of Stonehenge, are among the best-known and best-regarded artefacts from British prehistory. Here they are fully published, with an account of the recent restoration of the larger lozenge from the group
Circumstance not context
An overall survey of the relative strengths and weaknesses of research on the Scottish Neolithic is attempted, focusing particularly on recent work. The high quality of much of the evidence is stressed as is the variability of the attention paid to it. Particular themes have been chosen to exemplify these and to provide some opportunity for a wider perspective

Megalithic Science
Les Fouaillages and megalithic origins
The island has a fine series of surviving megalithic monuments with passage graves such as La Varde and outstanding examples of ornate statue-menhirs as at Câtel (Kinnes, 1981). There are distinctive local variants, as in the cellular elaboration of the Déhus tomb and the regional style of cist-in-circle monument. In terms of islands as laboratories of prehistory it is instructive to note that these structures survive only where protected from th…

British Museum Natural Radiocarbon Measurements XII
The following list consists entirely of dates for archaeologic samples from the British Isles, mainly measured over the period from May 1979 to June 1980 1 . The dates were obtained by liquid scintillation counting of benzene using the laboratory procedures outlined in previous lists (see, eg, BM-VIII, R, 1976, v 18, p 16)

Excavations at a Neolithic Causewayed Enclosure, Orsett, Essex, 1975
The Causewayed Enclosure at Orsett, Essex, was trial trenched in 1975 to determine the state of site preservation and confirm its postulated Neolithic date and site sequence. The enclosure consisted of three incomplete circuits of discontinuous ditch with an associated timber palisade slot lying inside and concentric to the middle ditch. Within the interior was an oval post hole structure of a contemporary date. Quantities of Mildenhall style pot…
The Excavation of a Multiple Round Barrow at Barnack, Cambridgeshire 1974–1976
A multiple round barrow with three ditches and a double circle of stakes. The first phase was a bowl barrow with a buried inner ditch and a Beaker primary accompanied by a fine group of grave goods; the second phase was a ditchless refurbishing with a stake revetted mound for a cremation; the third phase was a bell barrow with an outer bank for an unaccompanied inhumation. There were at least twenty-two inhumations and one cremation interred over…

Monumental function in British Neolithic burial practices
The basic contention of this paper is that the monumental mound aspect is not invariable in Neolithic chambered tombs, and that its function is not identical with that of the burial area proper. An assignment of linked roles for components within a planned long‐term concept is substituted for a multi‐period explanation. The fundamental identity of megalithic and non‐megalithic practice is emphasized, and a context provided for the emergence of ch…
