Historic Archaeology—Methods and Principles
The application of archaeology as a recognized method of adding to historical knowledge is very largely in its infancy in North America, and even more so in Great Britain. Historians in North America, if they think of American archaeologists at all, probably equate their work through anthropology to the sub-Freudian overtones of Margaret Mead’s columns in Redbook and to the “Topless fad a healthy sign, says US anthropologist” headline that reache…
Binford, Science, and History: The Probabilistic Variability of Explicated Epistemology and Nomothetic Paradigms in Historical Archaeology
The individual investigator with his unique combination of interpretive skills provides the only possible means for the reconstruction of the cultural context of an archaeological collection. The final judgment of any archaeologist’s cultural reconstructions must therefore be based on an appraisal of his professional competence, and particularly the quality of the subjective contribution to that competence. The other use of historical archaeology…

Churchwarden Clay Tobacco-Pipes and the Southorn Pipemaking Family of Broseley, Shropshire
The origin of the term ‘Churchwarden pipe’, now used to describe any long-stemmed clay—and sometimes even brier—pipe, is examined and the suggestion made that it was originally invented by the prominent Broseley, Shropshire, clay pipemaking family of Southorn to describe a specific type among their long-stemmed pipes. The Southorn family, whose products were possibly the premier-quality British clay pipes of the nineteenth and early twentieth cen…

The counties of Nairnshire, Moray and Banffshire in the Bronze Age, Part II
A detailed catalogue and discussion, completed in 1969, of bronzes of the 2nd and early 1st millenia BC found in three counties of NE Scotland. The importance to the area of the Great Glen as a trade route is stressed, and the problem of the origin of metallurgy in NE Scotland is discussed. AR

Statistical Methods for Dating Clay Pipe Fragments
This article describes the two major systems for dating clay pipe stem fragments by statistical methods, examines the results and suggests ways of minimizing their limitations

A Pipemaker's Mark from Gouda, The Netherlands -Then and Now
The marks of Dutch pipemakers, unlike those of their English counterparts, could be passed from maker to maker in a variety of ways and thus occur or recur over a considerable length of time. Here the author describes a mark at present being used by a Dutch firm of pipemakers which has recently also been found in a mideighteenth century context in a colonial French site in Nova Scotia, Canada
The Clava Cairns
THIS paper is divided into three parts: a discussion of the general affinities, such as they are, of the Clava cairns; a discussion of their geographical setting; and some remarks on their possible dating. n discussing possible affinities of the cairns, one is immediately struck by the uniqueness of the group as a whole compared with other groups of megalithic tombs. There are five outstanding features: firstly, the dual element of ring-cairn and…
