Between archives and the site
A case is made that attention should shift from the archaeology of process, guided largely by the archival evidence, to the archaeology of practice by scrutinizing the material record. Holistic Context Analysis applied to the industrial soils and finds at Moffat Upper Steam Forge has led to a more coherent and realistic picture of construction and demolition at the site, as well as of its puddling industry, than could be learned from the historic…
On the Intent to Make Cramp
Vitreous slag‐like material, known as ‘cramp’, from prehistoric cremation burial sites in Orkney is, apart from cremated bone, one of the recurrent remains found within or around Bronze Age burials. Although the suggestion that cramp was formed by the fusing of sand attached to dry seaweed while it was being burnt was first proposed in the 1930s, there has never been a consideration of seaweed's contribution to cremation other than as a potential…
Assessing the influence of agrochemicals on the rate of copper corrosion in the vadose zone of arable land Part 2
This is the second in a series of three papers from a project that has attempted to answer the question ‘does the application of agrochemicals accelerate the corrosion of archaeological metals in the top 50cm of the soil?’. We have approached it through a combination of field-based experiments, by establishing laboratory microcosms and by using geochemical modelling techniques to understand the processes involved. This paper reports on two differ…

The nature of Melian alumen and its potential for exploitation in antiquity
Introduction Melian alumen is one of the industrial minerals exploited in antiquity and is broadly categorised as an earth which includes Melian, Cimolian and Samian Earths (fig. 1) as well as sulfur (Photos-Jones et al. in review). These earths are differentiated from Industrial stone like marble, pumice and emery. The Aegean island of Melos was well known in antiquity for the industrial mineral ‘alumen’ as well as sulfur and Melian Earth. Our r…
