Experiencing the past
Analytical fieldwork and other archaeological investigation of the topography and physical remains of Renaissance gardens increase our understanding of how such places were originally experienced, together with demonstrating technological progress and developments in garden design. The recovery of the actual details of construction, maintenance and alteration gives an immediacy to the evidence depicted in historical maps and other views or descri…

Kirby Hall and its gardens
Plans for garden-restoration by English Heritage at Kirby Hall provided the opportunity to increase the understanding of the site by combining the consolidation of its physical remains with a detailed archaeological examination. The results from investigation carried out between 1987–94 contribute important evidence for the development of the series of formal gardens from Elizabethan origins towards an apogee in the late seventeenth century, when…
The Tower of All Saints' Church, Earls Barton, Northamptonshire
The tower of Earls Barton church is an internationally famous icon of Anglo-Saxon architecture. In 1992 the temporary removal of parts of its external render offered a rare opportunity to examine and record large areas of the original fabric, which was found to be remarkably intact with very few signs of repair. For the first time a series of scaled elevation drawings can be presented, accompanied by a consideration of the builders' intent

The Manufacture of Lime and Its Uses in the Western Roman Provinces
The widespread use of hydraulic lime mortars and concretes was chiefly a Roman development, but, in addition, lime produced by burning calcium carbonate at temperatures between 900°‐1100° C was used in agriculture, tanning and medicine. Cato has described the construction and operation of a periodic lime‐kiln and with the evidence from excavated sites the original process can be reconstructed. For most farming purposes, however, lime was produced…
