Early Medieval Ecclesiastical Sites in South-western Britain: Their dates, characters and significance
This paper considers the historical, topographical, and morphological characteristics of burial sites in south-western Britain between ad 400 and 1000, looking for evidence of patterns of Christian development across the region. The study concludes that there is no one simple set of characteristics that exclusively identifies sites of this period. It demonstrates the very considerable complexity of the long, slow cultural shift that turned a paga…

Particular Thanks and Obligations’: The Communications Made by Women to the Society of Antiquaries between 1776 and 1837, and their Significance
This paper brings together the evidence bearing on the relationship between the Society of Antiquaries and the women who contributed to it during a significant period when archaeology, through the work of such men as Samuel Lysons and Richard Colt Hoare, was beginning to emerge as a distinct field with its own conceptual and technical systems. It takes its departure from the first substantial appearance by a woman in the Society's publications in…

Museums of Anthropology or Museums as Anthropology
During 1995 the Pitt Rivers Museum, University of Oxford, marketed a postcard depicting 14 early handwritten labels from the museum's archive. This commercially orientated, self-reflexive museum production is taken as the starting point for an analysis of the relationship between the collection, the collector, the museum exhibition and the visiting public. The roles of documentation as an aspect of colonial appropriation, and that of artists in r…
Objects in the Contemporary Construction of Personal Culture: Perspectives Relating to Gender and Socio-Economic Class
The construction of heritage: The domestic context and its implications
A fundamental question in heritage studies is how heritage is constructed, how selection processes operate to transform some places, objects and practices into heritage and not some others. A significant site for heritage construction is the family and its relation to its material culture. The present Survey analyses how individuals within families relate to favoured objects and shows that the creation of material identity is crucial to a family'…
The construction and analysis of the cultural heritage: Some thoughts
Notions of the cultural heritage are a key intellectual and political issue for the twenty‐first century, but practical problems relating to the cultural heritage seldom find their way into front‐line political debate, in either the developing world or electoral issues in the developed world. In part this is because at an academic level the cultural heritage lacks a strong disciplined presence and correspondingly an agreed framework of reference …

Studying museum material and collections
In modern post‐Renaissance western society, museums are the political and cultural institutions entrusted with holding the material evidence, real things, which constitute much modern knowledge. The paper considers some aspects of museums as institutions holding this material evidence – the institutional relationship to accepted knowledge and value, the implication in the social and economic system and the visible architectural display, – which m…

Amber beads from the Late Bronze Age hoard from Glentanar, Aberdeenshire

A Late Bronze Age hoard from Glentanar, Aberdeenshire
NJ 482953. A hoard of about 60 bronzes was found in a cairn in 1843 and subsequently lost until 16 objects reappeared in 1971. Four socketed axes, six penannular armlets, a semi-tubular ring, two sets of triple-rings, a ring and two unique cast bronze cups are described and discussed in terms of their strong Covesea connections.

The Cornish Elements in the Arthurian Tradition
CORNWALL and the West Country looms large in the Arthurian tradition as it has become known to insular readers. Naturally, therefore, much has been claimed in the past for Cornwall's part in the origin and growth of the tradition. In the years around the turn of the century it was urged in a series of papers by F. Lot (I), W. Gruffydd (2), G. Paris (3), and most of all by J. Loth (4), that Cornwall played a very considerable part in the formulati…
