The importance to archaeology of undertaking and presenting experimental research
Environmental influences on healthy and active ageing
This paper explores the evidence for environmental influences on older adult health and activity participation, identifies current knowledge gaps and limitations within this literature, and offers recommendations for future research via a systematic appraisal of 83 quantitative and qualitative studies. A Cochrane-type review procedure was followed, which incorporated structured database searches, inclusion and exclusion criteria, quality appraisa…
A place for visual research methods in the field of leisure studies? Evidence from two studies of older adults’ active leisure
Few researchers have explored perceptions of the local environment as a potential precursor to older adults’ active leisure participation; fewer still have employed visual research methods as a tool for examining the modalities of environmental influences on leisure behaviour. This article introduces leisure researchers to the visual research techniques of Q method with photographs and photovoice and highlights the opportunities and challenges re…
Creep of Lead Dyeing Vessels in Pompeii
The scale of manufacture of the dyeing industry in Pompeii is a controversial subject. Previous studies have taken a theoretical approach. This study used full‐scale replicas of dyeing apparatus to investigate their operating parameters. To explore the physical effect within the materials during the dyeing cycle, a virtual replica was constructed. Finite element analysis was used to explore the long‐term mechanical effects of the dyeing process o…
Temporality and Reflexivity
All experience is located in consciousness in some temporal order. This is assigned meaning through reflexivity and integrated into an enduring concept of self. However, experiences which are inconsistent with the individual's self-concept will constitute a threat creating division between those experiences which are under the control of the self and those which are not. In this way, work imposes a distinction between time which the individual ca…
