Impeachment as Constitutional Weapon
For over a decade the EU has experienced a rule of law crisis characterised by, inter alia , attacks on judicial independence at national level by some Member State governments. This crisis represents an existential one for the EU owing to the Union’s functioning as a multi-level, intertwined legal order being dependent on respect for the rule of law at national level. This article asks whether impeachment, as an accountability mechanism focussed…
Symposium on Role of Archaeology in Historical Research, Summary and Analysis
Archaeology for the anthropologist is a technique. The journal of the Society, called Historical Archaeology—probably a slick paper affair publishing summaries of projects and achievements, with illustrations. Ivor Noel Hume has viewed the status and problems of the archaeologist as historical investigator with the detachment of one entering the field in America from England. Both Kenneth Kidd and Hubert Smith have pointed to the perspective whic…

Anglo-Saxon and Earlier Settlement near Drayton Road, Sutton Courtenay, Berkshire
Since E. T. Leeds' excavations of the Anglo-Saxon settlement at Sutton Courtenay in the 1920s and 1930s, aerial photographs revealing large timber buildings, as well as finds of metalwork and coins have suggested that the settlement was more extensive and of higher status than Leeds had imagined. This report reviews this evidence and describes the results of fieldwalking, geophysical survey and small-scale excavation which have provided further d…

Update on Natchez Man
On October 6, 1846, M. W. Dickeson, a physician from Natchez, Mississippi, exhibited a collection of specimens of mastodon and sloth fossil bones that he had found in 1845 at the base of a bayou cut through the loess above the Mississippi River near his home. He had brought them to the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia to which he donated them. Among the specimens was a fragment of human pelvis, implicitly also fossil, from a deposit of…

Comment on Turnbaugh
Replies to Turnbaugh's “An on-campus alternative to the archaeological field school” (American Antiquity 41:208-11) argue that the context in which the on-campus alternative is undertaken is important, as with any field school. At the same time the on-campus field school has significant value. An additional alternative to field schools is proposed.

Stratigraphic and Area Tests at the Emerald and Anna Mound Sites
The tests made at the Emerald mound site (MAd-5; also known as the Selzertown site) located on the proposed right-of-way of Natchez Trace Parkway twelve miles north of Natchez, Mississippi, were performed in order to salvage archaeological information and cultural materials along the route of roadway construction. The work was confined to two stratigraphic tests and one area test, the former on the primary mound and the latter in the area to the …

Excavations at Jamestown, Virginia. Site of the First Permanent English Settlement in America
On a bit of marsh-mound land cast up in the James River was planted the first permanent English settlement in America. The landing at Jamestown, 13 May (o.s.), 1607, did not represent the first attempt to found an English colony on the eastern seaboard. In 1585 an expedition under the command of Sir Richard Grenville and with Ralph Lane as Lieutenant-Governor established the ill-fated Roanoke Island colony off the coast of North Carolina. By 1590…

The Gordon Site in Southern Mississippi
The Gordon site has been mentioned previously by Ford (1935, 1936) as site 61, the type site for the Coles Creek ceramic complex originally identified by a surface collection of 175 sherds. In his initial survey of the site, Ford placed it uppermost in the Coles Creek horizon, although the exact relationship of that horizon to other Southeastern cultures was at that time uncertain. Ford states: perhaps this name is a little unfortunate. Neither o…

Indications of a Paleo-Indian Co-Tradition for North America
It is time to consider some recent trends in thought on the paleo-Indian and certain inferences which may be derived from trait evidence so. far discovered. Recently, some specialists on the problem have begun to realize that, although a good number of flaked blade types from the 'early man' horizon have been found scattered over North America, there are also certain associated artifacts which bear significant similarities over a continental area…
The Mangum Plate
The Mangum Plate consists of three fragments of elaborately embossed copper sheeting formed of separate parts overlapped and hammered together and riveted where necessary. The pieces were found in 1936 by Spurgeon C. Mangum on a knoll situated on his farm 5 miles northeast of Port Gibson, Mississippi, 1 mile south of Bayou Pierre (R 3E, Tn 12N, S 28). The site has since been acquired by the State of Mississippi for the National Park Service for d…

Historic Site Archaeology at Jamestown
Jamestown, site of the first permanent English settlement in the New World, furnishes an interesting example of the use of archaeological techniques to put factual meat on abstract or theoretical bones. For over half a century, off and on, a succession of historians, architects, engineers, and archaeologists have sought physical evidence in the earth to identify the location of vaguely defined landholdings and buildings, the first fort built in 1…

Winter Archaeology
Once in a while in American archaeology, funds limited by an expiration date or a pressing need for information before site destruction demand carrying on field operations during winter months. When either or both emergencies occur - both did in the 1954-55 winter at historic Jamestown, in Colonial National Historical Park - certain questions arise as to what type of excavating may be efficiently carried on under adverse weather conditions. Possi…
