Young people's views and experiences of person‐centred planning
Person‐centred planning (PCP) is both a philosophy and method of service delivery across varied contexts. It is used in pathway planning for young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) to promote positive transition outcomes. Due to idiosyncratic use, it is unclear how PCP meetings are organised and structured and to what extent this reflects fidelity to PCP as a philosophy. It is also unclear how young people experience P…
Resolving an Enigma
For much of the 20th century, Royal Doulton was one the major producers of china and earthenware in the UK, most of which was manufactured at the Royal Doulton Potteries in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent. Following the closure and demolition of this iconic works in the early 21st century, an archaeological excavation was undertaken in advance of redevelopment. This included the recording of the remains of an unusually large and enigmatic annular kiln th…
From Ponds to Pine Plantations in 9000 Years
This article explores the evidence for environmental change at Beck Burn, Solway Moss, on the English/Scottish border. The analysed pollen, non-pollen palynomorphs (NPP) and microscopic charcoal particles permit several palaeoenvironmental events to be interpreted, supported by radiocarbon dating. These and previously published data suggest the presence of very early Mesolithic water-edge activity, later Mesolithic woodland management, clearance …

Exploring Bristol’s historic glass industry
In 2007, extensive archaeological excavation was undertaken on an important post-medieval glassworking site at Glass Wharf, Bristol. The excavation exposed remains relating to a series of glassworks dating between the early 18th and early 20th centuries and, significantly, uncovered a sequence of five glass-melting furnaces and covering structures, which together reflect wider changes in glassmaking technology throughout these periods. Detailed s…
Excavation at Orquil souterrain, St Ola, Orkney
In July 1971 a souterrain was excavated at Orquil, St Ola, Orkney. Although it is generally typical of many Orcadian souterrains, a lower subsidiary pit feature was identified during the course of excavation which appears to be a novel feature of souterrain construction

Associations Between Premarital Sex and Leaving School in Four Sub‐Saharan African Countries
With the spread of formal schooling in sub‐Saharan Africa and delays in the age at marriage, a growing proportion of adolescents remain enrolled in school when they “come of age.” As a consequence, more and more adolescents have to negotiate sexual maturation and sexual initiation in a vastly different context from that of prior generations. Using data from the 2004 National Survey of Adolescents conducted in Burkina Faso, Ghana, Malawi, and Ugan…
Sexual Behavior and STI/HIV Status Among Adolescents in Rural Malawi
This study investigates the reporting of premarital sex in rural southern Malawi. It summarizes the results of an interview‐mode experiment conducted with unmarried young women aged 15–21 in which respondents were randomly assigned to either an audio computer‐assisted self‐interview (ACASI) or a conventional face‐to‐face (FTF) interview. In addition, biomarkers were collected for HIV and three STIs: gonorrhea, chlamydia, and trichomoniasis. Prior…
Archaeological evidence for the first Mesolithic occupation of the Western Isles of Scotland
The examination of eroding coastal dunes at the prehistoric site of Northton, Harris, has produced the first archaeological evidence of Mesolithic activity in the Western Isles in the form of two midden-related deposits. The first phase of Mesolithic activity is dated to 7060-6650 cal. BC based on AMS dating of charred hazelnut shells. This discovery appears to validate the frequent pollen-based inferences of Mesolithic impact for the area and, a…
Excavations at Kaimes Hill, Ratho, City of Edinburgh, 1964 -72
Kaimes Hill, City of Edinburgh, has been the focus for both antiquarian and modern archaeological research since at least the mid-nineteenth century and has produced evidence for activity dating from the Mesolithic through to the medieval period. The paper assimilates this evidence, provides a complete account of the excavations undertaken over the ramparts, `hut circles', prehistoric ritual and funerary monuments by D D A Simpson between 1964--7…
Post-Beaker Period Death and Burial at Northton, Isle Of Harris, Scotland
The prehistoric site of Northton, Isle of Harris, is best known for the important settlement evidence that it has produced. A total of 15 burials, however, have also been recovered from the site. These have recently been subject to a new programme of osteological and palaeopathological analysis and radiocarbon dating, the results of which indicate that the burials date from the immediate post-Beaker period through to the later Iron Age. As such, …

Excavation at Manish Strand, Ensay, Western Isles
Survey and excavation at Manish Strand, Ensay, Western Isles in 1965, identified two midden deposits which date to the later Neolithic and Early Bronze Age. Two ‘pit’ burials containing Late Bronze Age human inhumations were also discovered during the course of the excavation
Rediscovering the Denaby pottery
Excavation in advance of the A6023 road diversion at Denaby Main, South Yorkshire, successfully identified the remains of the mid 19th-century Denaby pottery, of which the location, form and range of products were largely unknown. The excavated remains include three buildings/work areas, four kilns and a sizeable assemblage of pottery and kiln furniture. Evidence for the site’s later conversion into a bone works was also recovered in the form of …
Excavations by the late G D B Jones and C M Daniels along the moray Firth littoral
Between 1984 and 1990 the late G D B Jones and C M Daniels undertook excavation at four large rectilinear cropmark sites at Easter Galcantray (Nairnshire), Thomshill and Balnageith (Morayshire) and Boyndie (Banffshire). This work successfully identified discrete phases of activity dating from the Neolithic through to historic times. The excavators believed that the rectilinear enclosures had been Roman military fortifications linked to the Agrico…
Survey and excavation at Tarradale, Highland
Report on the trial excavation between 1991 and 1993 of a cropmark enclosure. Excavation revealed three possible phases of activity. These include possible Mesolithic activity; a probable unenclosed phase of settlement dating to the Late Bronze/Early Iron Age; and finally a phase of enclosure which may be associated with the formation of a substantial settlement dating to the middle centuries of the first millennium AD. Includes
The excavation of a medieval ring-ditch enclosure at Hayknowes Farm, Annan, Dumfries and Galloway
Excavation at a crop-mark site found close to Annan, Dumfries and Galloway, revealed evidence of a ring-ditch containing a number of intriguing internal structures. Initially this was presumed to be a prehistoric monument, but pottery and radiocarbon dating, unexpectedly, indicated that the main structural phase of the site falls between the 11th-13th centuries AD. This suggests that a degree of caution is required when interpreting crop-mark sit…

Science in the History of Civilisation
The history of science may be approached from two points of view. It may be regarded purely as growth of knowledge of natural objects and phenomena along the corridors of time, or it may be viewed selectively according to its influence upon social and economic conditions. Knowledge becomes power only when it is used. To trace the development of any particular aspect of it in scientific fields is the work of the specialist, but it is not until dis…
