Matériel Culture
Materiel culture encompasses the material remains of conflict, from buildings and monuments to artefacts and militia, as well as human remains. This collection of essays, from an international range of contributors, illustrates the diversity in this material record, highlights the difficulties and challenges in preserving, presenting and interpreting it, and above all demonstrates the significant role materiel culture can play in contemporary soc…
Monuments of war
The editor of ANTIQUITY remembers travelling, as a child, on the main A1 highway to see relatives in southeast England, watching the banks of sharp-nosed Bloodhound missiles ranged close by the road - pointing east, to meet incoming Soviet bombers. The obsolete monuments of the Cold War, and before that of the Second World War, are history now, famously the Berlin Wall (Baker 1993 in ANTIQUITY). Many, like the concrete runways of the airfields, a…
Lithic artefacts from test-pit excavations on Lundy
Lundy is a small offshore island set in the approaches to the Bristol Channel. Prior to the late 1980s several excavations and artefact collections demonstrated the presence of prehistoric and historic communities on the island. Yet, despite this, little was understood of the intensity of occupation and the archaeological context within which the excavated sites occurred. Two surveys, one by the National Trust and one directed by the author, have…
Lithic Distributions in the Upper Meon Valley
The results of an area-intensive surface collection survey are described and evidence for a coarse-grained response to the distribution of resources is presented. Surface collection surveys have occurred over many areas of southern England with attention focused especially on the neolithic landscape of the monument zone. The results of such surveys provide an indication of the social landscape within which monument building occurred. However, to …

Understanding early medieval pottery distributions
In field survey, some periods announce themselves by an abundance of artefacts, for example Roman ceramics in the Mediterranean and prehistoric flints in northern Europe. Others are elusive; among the least conspicuous in England is the early medieval period, when ceramics would seem to have figured little in material culture. When such wares did exist, tempered with soft material like grass, they are often destroyed by the plough and weathering …
Putting Lithics to the Test
The earliest farming communities in Southern England were for a long time represented solely by the structural remains left behind in the form of burial monuments, henges and causewayed enclosures; only recently, through problem‐oriented surface collection, has any attempt been made to locate their settlements. This paper suggests that such attempts have been limited by the very desire to locate ‘sites’ which made the technique attractive in the …
