  • Future increases in soil moisture drought frequency at UK monitoring sites: Merging the Jules land model with observations and convection-permitting UK climate projections

    Open AccessMagdalena Szczykulska, Chris Huntingford et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    Concerns exist about the viability of food security across Europe due to multiple, potentially adverse drivers. These include economic, political and climate forcing factors, all of which require quantification. Here, we focus on the climate forcing, and in particular, the soil moisture change component which crucially determines water availability for crop uptake. We estimate future soil moisture levels at 34 sites of the UK COsmic-ray Soil Mois…

  • The Myth of the Bipartisan National Popular Vote Plan

    Open AccessJ G Evans, Barry J GainesARTICLEThe Forum2019References: 4

    Advocates of the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC) promise that it can deliver plurality electoral rule (“first past the post”) for presidential elections, at the national level, without amending the Constitution or abolishing the Electoral College. They also contend that the plan has seen bipartisan support and will pass on the strength of such cross-party attraction. In fact, the NPVIC remains a polarizing scheme, strongly appeal…

  • The exploitation of molluscs

    J G EvansCHAPTERDomestication and Exploitation of…2017

    Molluscs have been exploited by man from the earliest times and for a wide variety of purposes. For instance, the extraction of the crimson dye, Tyrian Purple, from the dog winkles Murex spp. and Nucella spp., was known to both the Phoenicians and the Minoans. It is for their exploitation as a supply of food, however, that molluscs are particularly noted. The more important food molluscs are the bivalves such as oysters, cockles and mussels; the …

  • Dynamics of Diffusion: Aggregate Patterns in Congressional Campaign Agendas

    Open AccessTracy Sulkin, J G Evans et al.ARTICLEAmerican Politics Research2006Cited by: 6References: 15

    We examine patterns in campaign agendas for a sample of 1,141 House and Senate candidates in the 1984 to 1996 elections, using a content analysis of coverage of their campaigns in CQ Weekly Report’s “Special Election Issue” to extract each candidate’s priority issues. The results indicate that, contrary to some of the predictions in the broader literature on congressional campaigns and elections, these agendas are very diffuse, with a high level …

  • Political Trust, Ideology, and Public Support for Government Spending

    Thomas J Rudolph, Thomas Rudolph et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Political…2005Cited by: 223References: 20

    This article analyzes the relationship between political trust, ideology, and public support for government spending. We argue that the political trust heuristic is activated when individuals are asked to sacrifice ideological as well as material interests. Aggregate‐ and individual‐level analysis shows that the effects of political trust on support for government spending are moderated by ideology. Consistent with the unbalanced ideological cost…

  • Secular trends in proximal femoral fracture, Oxford record linkage study area and England 1968-86

    J G Evans, Valerie Seagroatt et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…1997Cited by: 1References: 12

    OBJECTIVE: To study hospital admission rates for fractures of the proximal femur over a period when incidence is reported to have increased, compensating for known lack of precision in coding, excluding nonemergency admissions and transfers, and modelling for age, period, and cohort effects. DESIGN: Validation of coding of a sample of hospital admissions followed by study of two sets of routinely collected statistical abstracts of hospital record…

  • An early-Holocene pollen, mollusc and ostracod sequence from lake marl at Llangorse Lake, South Wales, UK

    Open AccessMike Walker, M J C Walker et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene1993Cited by: 2References: 3

    An integrated analysis of molluscs, ostracods and pollen is presented from early Holocene lake marl at Llangorse Lake, Powys, South Wales. The mollusc and ostracod records reflect a littoral environment with increasing eutrophic conditions and a progressive shallowing of lake waters, although the record does not begin until around 9600 BP, probably due to the isolated location. The pollen profile provides evidence of both local and regional veget…

  • An Environmental History of the Upper Kennet Valley, Wiltshire, for the Last 10,000 Years

    Open AccessJ G Evans, Susan Limbrey et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the Prehistoric…1993Cited by: 11References: 5

    Research on the late Pleistocene and Holocene environment and archaeology of the upper Kennet valley, north Wiltshire, is described. In concentrating the work in the valley bottom, the main aims were: (1) to see if there was a record of environment and archaeology there, and if so to detail it; and (2) to redress brasses in research towards the visible archaeology of slopes and plateaus and their environmental record. Soils and sediments with bio…

  • A Neolithic Downland Monument in its Environment: Excavations at the Easton Down Long Barrow, Bishops Cannings, North Wiltshire

    Open AccessA Whittle, Amanda Rouse et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the Prehistoric…1993Cited by: 14References: 5

    Excavations at the Easton Down long barrow were part of a wider programme of research into the Neolithic sequence and context of the Avebury area in north Wiltshire. The short barrow, on high chalk downland to the south-west of Avebury and the upper Kennet valley, and containing only a few inhumations according to Thurnam's 19th-century investigation, dates to the later 4th millennium BC. Test pits around the barrow produced very little struck fl…

  • A Late Iron Age Burial Enclosure at Maldon Hall Farm, Essex: Excavations 1989

    Open AccessN J Lavender, S Browne et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the Prehistoric…1991Cited by: 1References: 7

    This report describes the total excavation of a small, rectangular ditched enclosure measuring 23.5 m by 15 m. It was shown to have been a cemetery enclosure (probably that of a small family group), belonging to the second half of the 1st century BC. Three vessels containing cremation burials were found in pits within the enclosed area, along with nine other funerary bowls, urns and jars. Whilst cremation burials of this date are fairly common, t…

  • Notes on some Late Neolithic and Bronze Age Events in Long Barrow Ditches in Southern and Eastern England

    Open AccessJ G EvansARTICLEProceedings of the Prehistoric…1990Cited by: 3References: 5

    This note draws attention to similar sequences of archaeology and environment in three long barrow ditches on the Chalk of southern and eastern England. Although the data have already been, or will shortly be, published in individual site reports, the events warrant consideration as a group because they are of regional importance. They are significant specifically for the later Neolithic use of long barrows and more generally for the identificati…

  • An Archaeological Survey of Skomer, Dyfed

    Open AccessJ G EvansARTICLEProceedings of the Prehistoric…1990Cited by: 6References: 1

    Skomer is an island off the west coast of Dyfed, the archaeology of which, consisting of fields, small enclosures, cairns, huts and dams, is well preserved. The broad outline and much detail was recorded by W. F. Grimes in 1950 and it was demonstrated that about two-thirds of the island is covered in a more or less undisturbed prehistoric landscape, preservation being due to the absence of Medieval and later settlement. The fieldwork described in…

  • Excavations at Stackpole Warren, Dyfed

    Open AccessD G Benson, J G Evans et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the Prehistoric…1990Cited by: 13References: 16

    Excavations of sites spanning the Beaker to early Roman periods at Stackpole Warren, Dyfed, are described. The sites are in an area of blown sand which enhanced their preservation and led to the separation of several horizons. The earliest is a buried soil beneath the blown sand which contained Mesolithic to Bronze Age artefacts. At site A, there was a roundhouse associated with Early Bronze Age pottery and dated to 1620±70 and 1400±70 BC uncal.,…

  • Blood pressure and stroke in an elderly English population

    J G EvansARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…1987References: 8

    The relation between blood pressure and subsequent stroke was examined in a four-year follow-up study of a geographically defined population sample of 2704 people aged 65 and over resident in South Tyneside in 1975. In men there was a significant relation between stroke and a history of diagnosed high blood pressure and the taking of antihypertensive medication. Stroke was not associated with either of these factors in women. Stroke incidence inc…

  • An Investigation into the Environment and Archaeology of the Wessex Linear Ditch System

    Open AccessJ G Evans, Maureen Vaughan et al.ARTICLEThe Antiquaries Journal1985Cited by: 1References: 5

    Investigations into a later prehistoric ditch system in an area of Wessex about 15 km. south-west of Salisbury are described. The main objectives were to study the past environment of the earthworks at various stages in their history and to investigate their form and how they may have functioned. The two parts of the system studied were just south of Blagdon Plantation, Pentridge, Dorset, and on Knoll Down, Damerham, Hants. Excavations, study of …

  • Excavations at Ardnave, Islay

    Graham Ritchie, G S Ritchie et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the Society of…1984Cited by: 1

    This paper describes the excavation of a series of structures discovered in the sand-dunes at Ardnave, Islay, between 1977 and 1980. The earliest structure was a house, probably of several periods, associated with food-vessel pottery. Subsequently the house was covered by blown sand, but later occupation was attested by midden material, also with food vessels, overlying the earlier building. There were also two hearths of late Iron Age date, one …

    Open AccessJ G Evans, I F Smith et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the Prehistoric…1983Cited by: 14References: 17

    A sequence of deposits ranging in date from Late-glacial to the present produced detailed evidence of environmental changes, reflecting both climatic fluctuations and the effects of human activities. A Later Mesolithic occupation horizon, with lithic industry and associated faunal remains, is dated at about 5280 bc. It was sealed by a deposit of tufa. An irregular linear excavation, dated at about 2765 bc, is interpreted as a quarry; the backfill…
