  • Bog Bodies from Scotland

    Open AccessTrevor Cowie, John Pickin et al.ARTICLEJournal of Wetland Archaeology2011Cited by: 1References: 4

    This paper draws attention to records of a number of historical discoveries of human remains from Scottish bogs that have been omitted from previous published lists of such finds. They mostly comprise a range of 'paper' bog bodies and, like many lost archaeological finds, they can tantalise as much as inform. However, taken together, the 'new' finds account for an additional 27 sites and at least 35 individuals. This represents a significant incr…

  • Reconnecting Thomas Gann with British Interest in the Archaeology of Mesoamerica

    Open AccessColin WallaceARTICLEBulletin of the History of…2011Cited by: 1References: 15

    ‘He [Thomas Gann] was lecturer in Central American archaeology at the University of Liverpool (1919–1938), and adviser to the British Museum expeditions to British Honduras’ ( Dictionary of National Biography 1931–1940 [1949]: 306). Thus wrote the great archaeologist of the Maya, Sir John Eric Thompson (1898–1975), who knew Thomas Gann, the subject of this paper, from around 1926 until his death, and memorialised him elsewhere in the Boletín Bibl…

  • Excavation of the defensive ditches at Balmuildy Roman Fort, Glasgow, 1999

    Open AccessAlan Leslie, Gavin Macgregor et al.ARTICLEScottish Archaeological Journal2007

    Excavation by GUARD in 1999 on the southern defences of Balmuildy Roman fort exposed small sections of three ditches: two to the W of the S gate of the fort, one to the E. All were found in locations consistent with Miller's 1922 excavation plan of the site, though, contrary to expectations, none of these features appeared to have been previously excavated. The limited investigations produced no information which would substantially alter our und…

    Open AccessColin WallaceARTICLEOxford Journal of Archaeology2002

  • A Late Iron Age Burial Enclosure at Maldon Hall Farm, Essex

    Open AccessN J Lavender, S Browne et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the Prehistoric…1991Cited by: 1References: 7

    This report describes the total excavation of a small, rectangular ditched enclosure measuring 23.5 m by 15 m. It was shown to have been a cemetery enclosure (probably that of a small family group), belonging to the second half of the 1st century BC. Three vessels containing cremation burials were found in pits within the enclosed area, along with nine other funerary bowls, urns and jars. Whilst cremation burials of this date are fairly common, t…
