A site for all seasons? Prehistoric coastal subsistence in northwest Sicily
There has been much debate about the role of marine resources, including shellfish, in prehistoric human diets, but there have been few studies that combine archaeological and present-day ecological investigations of coastal sites. This dual approach is being applied in a new field- and laboratory-based project that focuses on a group of coastal sites in northwest Sicily
The ninth issue of Archaeology International
Mesolithic middens and molluscan ecology
Large accumulations of marine shells are characteristic of mesolithic coastal sites in northwest Europe, but how intensively shellfish were exploited remains controversial. Excavation of a midden on the Isle of Portland and ecological study of presentday molluscs suggest that prehistoric human exploitation may have had a significant impact on local shellfish populations
Archaeology on the North-West Frontier
Since 1985 a team of British and Pakistani archaeologists have been carrying out surveys and excavations in the remote Bannu area close to the Afghanistan border. The Bannu Archaeological Project is investigating ancient settlement, subsistence and cultural change in the area, and here a member of the team describes discoveries that relate to the Late Neolithic, Chalcolithic and Bronze Age periods

The Achaemenid Empire in South Asia and Recent Excavations in Akra in Northwest Pakistan
The impact of the Achaemenid annexation of northwestern Pakistan has remained a focus for archaeological research for more than a century. A lack of well-stratified settlements and a focus on artifacts that are not necessarily appropriate for assessing the effects of imperial control have until now obfuscated our understanding of this issue. In this article, we present the results of three seasons of excavations at Akra located in the North West …

Offsetting racial disadvantage in employment
This paper gives an account of the use of access training in order to enhance the performance of ethnic minority candidates in the process of selection for the West Midlands Police Force. Following the location of the initiative in an equal opportunities framework, the new Police Initial Recruitment (PIR) Test is described. This test was introduced in 1991 to replace the original test, first used in 1974, and is the first element in the selection…
A study of the research and development of a Civil Service equal opportunities initiative
This paper gives an account of an action research project into the use of access training as a means of increasing ethnic minority recruitment into the British Civil Service. The background to the project is outlined, and attention drawn to the way in which monitoring revealed the extent to which the ethnic minorities are under‐represented at the Executive Officer (EO) grade. The Qualifying Test (EOQT) was identified as having an adverse impact o…
