Mowaa Archaeology Project
Pre-construction archaeology in West Africa presents new avenues for understanding historic urban development. Excavation of two building plots for the Museum of West African Art, Benin City, Nigeria, provides new perspectives on the Kingdom of Benin, a significant polity in the West African forest zone during the second millennium AD
Fenscapes
The Fenscapes project investigates trajectories of landscape, habitat and species change in the Fens of eastern England from the Neolithic to the present, with the aim to build self-reflective understandings of land-use and wetland management. Yet underlying biases exist in data patterning linked to burial depth and archaeological practice
What Rivers Did
Countering the passive representation of rivers in many previous accounts of later prehistory – as static vessels for spectacular deposits, highways for transport and communication, and backdrops for settlement and farming – this paper asks if and how rivers actively shaped prehistoric lives. Rivers have long been hailed as conduits for prehistoric materials and ideas. However, positive archaeological correlates of the processes involved are noto…
Early cultivation of broomcorn millet in southern Britain
A single pit containing a mixed assemblage of charred plant remains, including broomcorn millet, was discovered during excavation of a Middle-Late Bronze Age settlement at Old Catton, Norfolk. Radiocarbon dating of this assemblage dates it to the Late Bronze Age-including a date of 910-800 cal BC for the millet itself-making this the earliest securely dated use of broomcorn millet in Britain
Post‐middenism
This paper considers recent discussions of ‘deliberate’, ‘formal’, ‘placed’, ‘special’, ‘structured’, or ‘token’ deposits on later prehistoric settlements in Britain. It argues that while these concepts have certainly been very important in raising and forefronting the interpretative possibilities that depositional practices might offer, the idea of structured deposition has, at times, been adopted and applied somewhat simplistically. In such ins…
