Urban Landscapes
Development of synanthropic beetle faunas over the last 9000 years in the British Isles
The development of late-Holocene farmed landscapes
Global agricultural intensification and expansion has led to the spread of a fairly cosmopolitan insect fauna associated with arable land and pasture. Studies of modern expansion and intensification of agriculture have shown profound effects in terms of declines in biodiversity, with implications for current nature conservation. However, modern entomological studies of farmland faunas do not consider if such effects occurred over a longer period …
Middening and Manuring in Neolithic Europe
This chapter presents the evidence from archaeological plant macrofossils and insect remains, alluding only briefly to some other lines of evidence germane to the study of manure in the past-such as phosphates, mites, the spores of coprophilous fungi and the eggs of intestinal parasites. Most Roman sites in England with waterlogged preservation produce at least some evidence for stable manure, and it seems to have been a major constituent of a si…
Six-Legged Hitchhikers
Grain-associated insect species are economically important and archaeologically significant. Their dispersal around the globe and eventually across the North Atlantic region surely occurred through human transport rather than naturally. Most beetle cereal pests are now nearly cosmopolitan in their distribution, but their prehistoric ranges appear to have been more restricted. What is known or surmised of the early dispersal of these insect specie…
Well, Sextus, what can we do with this?’ The disposal and use of insect-infested grain in Roman Britain
Beetle (Coleoptera) pests of stored products such as the granary weevil may have entered the archaeological record by various routes, including: (1) deliberate dumping, and usually burial, of spoilt grain with the aim of preventing further infestation of grain in storage; (2) the use of infested grain as human and animal food; (3) the incorporation of infested grain and living or dead grain pests into deposits by accident and by reworking. It is …
Turf roofs and urban archaeological build-up
Studies of turves used to line the thatched roof of an old farm building in north-west England showed that they might have been a major source of mineral particles and plant and insect remains in some archaeological deposits. Conversely, it might be possible to recognise the remains of turf roofs on occupation sites from characteristic elements of the biota. Analysis of a sample of the accumulation on the floor of the building prompts reconsidera…
Recovery of DNA from archaeological insect remains
Insect invaders of reconstructed Anglo-Saxon houses at West Stow, Suffolk, England
The insect fauna, particularly beetles (Coleoptera), of four modern reconstructions of Anglo-Saxon houses at West Stow, Suffolk, UK, has been investigated by pitfall trapping. Modest numbers of insects were recovered from each structure. The overlap with the fauna recovered from archaeological floor deposits of about the same period was notable, being greater than predicted, since the reconstructions lacked the litter and waste believed to have b…
Urban organic archaeology
Waterlogged' organic archaeology beneath historic towns represents a major archaeological resource, but changing ground conditions are seemingly leading to its decay. This issue should not concern just archaeologists and others in the heritage industry: there will be significant loss of data concerning past ecology, micro-evolution and human daily life, as well as ground settlement and release of greenhouse gases. The information that will be los…
Interpreting the Plant and Animal Remains from Viking-age Kaupang

The visibility of past trees and woodland
Insect species associations characterise past occupation sites
Development‐driven Archaeology
Through much of the world there is a move towards policies of in situ preservation of the buried archaeological heritage, typically supported by small‐scale investigative excavations (often called ‘evaluations’). In this review we attempt to judge the success of these policies in England and Wales, from the standpoint of bioarchaeology. We consider particularly the value of data for plant and insect macrofossils from trial excavations associated …
Archaeological Implications of Plant and Invertebrate Remains from Fills of a Massive Post-Medieval Cut at Low Fisher Gate, Doncaster, U.K.
Plant and invertebrate remains from a series of fills of an enigmatic early post-medieval cut feature at a site in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, were studied as part of a site-wide investigation. Some rich and diverse assemblages were recovered whose interpretation was not simple. It is argued that the material represents infill of a feature deliberately dug for water management, probably originally used as a pond for livestock, but latterly also f…
Do Insect Remains from Historic-Period Archaeological Occupation Sites Track Climate Change in Northern England
Remains of true bugs (Heteroptera) and beetles (Coleoptera) from archaeological occupation deposits of the past two millennia appear to provide evidence that temperatures in northern England in the 1st–4th and 9th–15th centuries AD were 1–2 C higher than those of the mid-20th century. It is argued that, although they derive from artificial conditions, if used appropriately the abundant records from occupation sites represent an important source o…

The Preservation of Invertebrates in 16th‐Century Cesspits at St Saviourgate, York
The taphonomy of invertebrates from 16th‐century cesspits at St Saviourgate, York, was investigated. Earthworms, fly larvae and puparia are preserved through replication in calcium phosphate, a process facilitated by acidic cesspit pore water and by the presence of abundant organic matter, bones and shells. Features preserved by mineralization include muscles, blood vessels and setae. Non‐mineralized invertebrate remains include puparia and beetl…
Pattern in Thinly-Distributed Plant and Invertebrate Macrofossils revealed by Extensive Analysis of Occupation Deposits at Low Fisher Gate, Doncaster, U.K.
Urban archaeological deposits of 11th-18th century date from an excavation in Doncaster were subjected to an extensive survey of macrofossil plant and animal remains. For the most part, the deposits contained few remains but the strategy adopted proved useful in revealing repeated occurrence of certain kinds of fossils. These were used to make deductions concerning various aspects of the nature of the occupation of the site.

Preservation of Urban Archaeological Deposits
The City of York Council has been pursuing a strict policy of in situ preservation of archaeological deposits since April 1990. Planning consent is normally granted in the historic core of York for a new development so long as less than 5% of the archaeological deposits that are preserved on a site are destroyed. During archaeological evaluation work carried out as part of the redevelopment and expansion proposals for Marks and Spencer plc on Par…

Cottam
The presence of Anglian and Anglo-Scandinavian settlements at Cottam, East Yorkshire, was first indicated in 1987 by numerous finds of copper alloy coins, dress pins and strap ends by metal detector users. This report presents the results of fieldwork carried out on behalf of the Department of Archaeology, University of York, between 1993–95, including fieldwalking, geophysical survey, and excavation. This revealed an enclosure of the eighth to n…
Down, but not out
Views of the Late Roman period in England have changed considerably in the past few years, with a tendency towards acceptance of a survival or resurgence of economic and political organization despite earlier decline. Traditional evidence provides some insights into the differential nature of these changes. Here it is argued that 'environmental' (in this case biological) evidence can provide unique insights into economic systems, and that bones a…

Recording the Preservational Condition of Archaeological Insect Fossils
The state of preservation of archaeological fossils may provide information crucial to their interpretation and for making curatorial decisions concerning the buried heritage. An established scheme for recording the condition of archaeological insect remains preserved by anoxic waterlogging is examined and found inadequate, failing to represent the complexity of decay properties and pathways. A particular weakness was its focus on whole assemblag…

Palaeoclimate in urban environmental archaeology at York, England
Recent excavations at York, which has a continuous history from Roman times to the present, have produced much biological evidence for early environmental conditions. Climate seems to have had only a minor role in causing the observed changes though it is difficult to separate its effect from that of other factors. Insects appear to offer the best hope of demonstrating minor climatic fluctuations, though artefacts may also provide evidence. Human…

Three Saxo-Norman Tenements in Durham City
A WELL-PRESERVED SEQUENCE of craftsmen's premises and their associated refuse was found in three tenements off Saddler Street in Durham City. The earliest occupation took place in the second half of the 10th century and a tenement area had been defined within a few decades. The destruction of the occupied tenement by fire took place sometime in the second half of the 11th century and was contemporary with the collapse of the local late Saxon pott…

Insects in Urban Waste Pits in Viking York
A large number of samples of deposits with anoxic waterlogging from pits of Anglo-Scandinavian (mid 9th to mid 11th C) date at 16-22 Coppergate, York, have been analysed for their content of insect remains. In order to investigate the prospects of determining the duration of exposure of foul deposits, an attempt has been made to establish whether any components of the insect fauna can be regarded as indicators either of particular seasons of form…

Excavation of a cropmark enclosure at Brixwold, (Dalhousie Mains), Bonnyrigg, Midlothian
Excavation recorded a large, sub-rectangular, ditched enclosure, previously identified from aerial photographic evidence as a cropmark. The deep U-shaped ditch contained waterlogged deposits with preserved organic materials. The radiocarbon dates obtained from waterlogged seeds in the ditch indicate two phases of activity, one in the fourth to second centuries BC and one in the first to second centuries AD. Analyses of the macroplant and insect a…
