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…
The Moderating Role of Poverty on Parenting, Family Climate, and Early Adolescent Emotion Regulation
Among infants and children, family climate (e.g., warmth, cohesion, support) and parent emotion regulation (ER) modeling are found to shape ER development. Few studies have attended to this process during early adolescence, and most have neglected to examine the role of poverty, which creates additional challenges for parents and families. The current study examined the relationship between parent ER strategy use, family climate, and participatio…

Archaeology of Industrialization
The Industrialization of the Staffordshire Potteries
By the second half of that century a significant skills base was developing. Archaeological excavations within the Staffordshire Potteries provide tangible evidence for greatly-increased production, of very fine quality earthenwares from c. 1660 onwards, and of salt-glazed stonewares from the 1680s. Between 1766–70 they invested £2,000 in the Trent and Mersey Canal, which was destined to improve the business of all north Staffordshire manufacture…

Indigenous Knowledge
Indigenous knowledge (IK) is the dynamic and complex body of know‐how, practices, and skills developed and sustained by peoples and communities with shared histories and experiences. It is community‐based, culture‐specific, and location‐specific. It is impressive in content and practical in application, and critical to successful livelihood strategies. Its utility has been extensively documented and researched among small‐scale farming communitie…
Business as usual’
The Great War had a dramatic impact upon the manufacturing industries and trade of the United Kingdom, and not least upon the ceramics industry. Manufacturers faced tremendous difficulties, including a massive decline in the overseas trade essential to their survival. At the same time, however, the war itself presented opportunities for the expansion and development of British ceramic manufacture and the repositioning of British ceramics in the g…
The Contemporary Caribbean
This text focuses on the contemporary economic, social, geographical, environmental and political realities of the Caribbean region. Historical aspects of the Caribbean, such as slavery, the plantation system and plantocracy are explored in order to explain the contemporary nature of, and challenges faced by, the Caribbean. The book is divided into three parts, dealing respectively with: the foundations of the Caribbean, rural and urban bases of …
Sexting and Sexual Behavior in At-Risk Adolescents
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to examine the prevalence of sexting behaviors (sexually explicit messages and/or pictures) among an at-risk sample of early adolescents as well as the associations between sexting behaviors and sexual behaviors, risk-related cognitions, and emotional regulation skills. It also aimed to determine whether differences in risk were associated with text-based versus photo-based sexts. METHODS: Seventh-grade adolescents pa…
Surveying Caribbean Cultural Landscapes
The first systematic archaeological investigation on Barbados since the 1970s at Mount Plantation, St George, Barbados, has yielded significant material and landscape data relating to world-changing economic and social structures, from the dramatic early 18th-century escalation of slavery to the agro-industrial production in the British Caribbean during the late 19th century. This article focuses on two related research aims. It offers the evalua…
Climate Change, Drought, and Jamaican Agriculture
The purpose of this study is to reach a basic understanding of drought and climate change in southwestern Jamaica through an integration of local knowledge and perception of drought and its physical characteristics manifested in remotely sensed precipitation and vegetation data. Local knowledge and perception are investigated through a survey of sixty farmers in St. Elizabeth Parish and physical characteristics of drought are examined through sta…
Adaptation, innovation and domestic food production in Jamaica
Small‐scale farmers' experimental innovations have not generally been considered for on‐farm research trials as those in the traditional sector have been perceived as recipients, rather than originators, of technical knowledge and sustainable and viable practices. Yet there is abundant evidence throughout the tropics that small‐scale farmers are adaptive and experimental problem solvers, and experts at devising innovative survival strategies. Whi…

The role and value of local knowledge in Jamaican agriculture
Local knowledge has played an active role in the lives of rural communities in virtually every part of the world. In Jamaica, traditional cropping systems based on local informal knowledge have been practiced since the days of slavery and play a vital role in meeting food security. Yet, some negative attitudes remain about the legitimacy and relevance of small-scale farmers' local and traditional knowledge. This paper discusses some conceptual an…
Ceramic studies in historical archaeology
Ceramic studies have played a central role in the development of archaeology – a fact that is equally true for historical archaeology as for studies of earlier periods. Ceramics represent by far the largest class of artefacts recovered during excavations of historical sites. As in other periods, ceramic materials survive in the ground when objects made from other materials do not, and their archaeological value is very high even though they gener…
The Cambridge Companion to Historical Archaeology
The Cambridge Companion to Historical Archaeology provides an overview of the international field of historical archaeology (c. AD 1500 to the present) through seventeen specially-commissioned essays from leading researchers in the field. The volume explores key themes in historical archaeology including documentary archaeology, the writing of historical archaeology, colonialism, capitalism, industrial archaeology, maritime archaeology, cultural …
Plastic Yam and Plastic Yam Sticks – Perspectives on Indigenous Technical Knowledge Among Jamaican Farmers
Yam farming in Jamaica has been one of the few success stories in agriculture since Independence in 1962. Production is entirely dominated by small farmers who have intensified production systems. Over the last decade yam farmers experienced a ‘yam stick problem’ due to the scarcity, poor quality and high prices of yam sticks. This paper focuses on the content and contextualisation of indigenous technical knowledge among yam farmers. The intrinsi…

Political Talk Radio and Public Opinion
This article examines the relationship between listening to political talk radio (Rush Limbaugh in particular) and attitudes toward public figures, groups, and policies. We employ a variety of methods to combat the selection bias inherent in such relationships. We find that listening to Limbaugh is independently associated with attitudes toward issues that Limbaugh emphasizes but shows no independent covariance with attitudes toward salient issue…
The development of the Coalport Chinaworks
Recent stratigraphically recorded excavations at Coalport have uncovered features and waster dumps from the early years of earthenware and porcelain manufacture. The assemblage has strong similarities with wares retrieved in the 1970s, and appears to have been made at William Reynolds’ pottery (later Reynolds, Horton & Rose) from c. 1795. The vessel types suggest that earthenware production had stopped by 1810. Most of the porcelains are known wa…

Information, Misinformation, and Political Talk Radio
This article provides an empirical test of the theory that individuals gather political knowledge by inferential reasoning -constructing political ”reality” from the messages to which they are exposed by making inferences about what they do not know based on extrapolations from what they see or hear. This ”filling-in” may often result in misinformation, or the belief in incorrect information (as distinguished from a simple lack of information, or…

The Biology of Stupidity
It may be thought that the title of this paper betrays a regrettable lack of sensitivity and good taste; it is as well, therefore, to explain its origin. Lewis Dexter was, I think, the first sociologist to apply a deviance perspective to the high-grade mentally retarded. ‘On the Politics and Sociology of Stupidity in Our Society’ argues that our discriminatory attitudes to the retarded have deep ideological roots; our social institutions tend ‘au…
Afro-Caribbean Agriculture
uninhabited Cockpit Country of Jamaica is highlighted. Its gradual transition from a predominantly subsistence economy in the eighteenth century to cash cropping in the post-emancipation period is examined. The pace of modernization has increased in recent years and brought increasing levels of vulnerability to farmers. Similarities are also noted between aspects of Accompong's agrarian system and characteristics of African small-scale agricultur…

Realism” as a notion applied to visual media comes to television studies encrusted with ideas from centuries of debate. This essay suggests that “verisimilitude” is a more fruitful term not only because it is less value laden but because, by definition (“real‐seeming”), it implies the notion of “work.” Television verisimilitude, like all forms of television representation, is a product of engagement between program and viewer in the process of te…
The Blast Furnace at Rockley, South Yorkshire
At Rockley, Yorkshire (SE338021) there survives the stone stack of a blast furnace which archive sources suggest was built in about 1700 and was used with charcoal until at least 1741. Antiquarian suggestions of a later period of operation using coke have received archaeological support in excavations carried out between 1978 and 1982. These established the layout of the blowing and casting houses, as well as the position of a head race, and of a…

A conceptual approach to the description and analysis of an historical urban system
Barker D. (1978) A conceptual approach to the description and analysis of an historical urban system, Reg. Studies 12, 1–10. A set-theoretic approach to modelling urban systems at a particular point in time is outlined and applied to nineteenth century Somerset. The multivariate supply of retail and service facilities, i.e. the output of the system, is shown to be ordered, and is used to classify centres, using a non-hierarchic grouping technique…

Television production techniques as communication
In recent years, mass communication scholars have exhibited an increasing willingness to regard television programming as a visual text or message system. One approach to television as text is the encoding/decoding model of Stuart Hall. While a substantial body of research has grown from this model, it has tended to focus almost exclusively on the process of decoding. By comparison, the process of encoding has been virtually ignored. The signific…

Encounters with the Television Image
This chapter surveys 30 years of research on the audiovisual codes of television. This research centers on close readings of encoded texts and the processes and practices of television encoding. The chapter discusses the humanist precursors of encoding research (McLuhan, Ong, Carpenter); the first phase of educational research on individual production variables; the next phase, in which scholars of literary texts applied their methodologies to te…
