Contracting
The article reveals the tensions engendered for voluntary organisations by the necessity to operate in a commercial situation. It argues that a strength of the contract culture is that it requires much greater clarity from voluntary bodies about their raison d'etre, goals and values. It maintains. however, that government claims that contracts are entirely consistent with principles of partnership cannot be sustained The concept of purchaser‐prov…
The Early Settlement of Scotland
The Mesolithic settlement at Morton lies some six miles north-north-west of St. Andrews in Fife, Scotland (fig. 1). The area around the site, north-eastern Fife, is surrounded on three sides by water, and projects as a blunt peninsula into the North Sea. The river Eden and the Firth of Tay serve as southern and northern boundaries of this peninsula, which consists today principally of the wind-deposited sands of Tentsmuir. The area of Tentsmuir, …
Culture and economy in the north Italian Neolithic
This paper discusses economic change in northern Italy in the 5th to 2nd millennium B.C. as a basis for reconsidering the nature and importance of Neolithic culture evidence. Neolithic artefacts are seldom good indicators of economic behaviour, and the advent of pottery‐bearing cultures may not have great economic significance. Mesolithic communities may have practised animal husbandry at an earlier date, and the full impact of the modern domesti…
The Prehistory of Upper Pleistocene and Recent Cattle. Part I
There is a considerable literature concerning the prehistory and palaeontology of cattle, both at the infra- and inter-species levels. In spite of the wealth of published material, however, deficiencies remain. The majority of the publications concern small areas of study, and few general syntheses are available; the few syntheses which do exist, such as those of Reed (1961) and Zeuner (1963) do not do justice to the information at present availa…
The Origins of Agriculture
In recent years increasing attention has been focused on the economic aspects of the changes that took place in human groups in their evolution from 'Palaeolithic' to 'Neolithic' ways of life. Braidwood and Howe carried out valuable pioneer work in this field and it is appropriate to quote their view of the problem [I]. How are we to understand those great changes in mankind's way of life which attended the first appearance of the settled village…
Knossos Neolithic, Part II
All the axes are of Cretan materials. The majority, fifty-nine out of seventy-one, are of altered basic igneous rock consisting of various minerals, usually with much chlorite and serpentine. Group A is called serpentine as this mineral is predominant. In appearance the axes are blue/grey/black mottled, sometimes with brown mottling also. Group B is called greenstone since the minerals epidote and chlorite are present in large quantities and the …
