Sensory experiences of the deceased in bereavement
Sensory and quasi-sensory Experiences of the Deceased (SED), or post-bereavement hallucinations refer to the spontaneous sensation (such as hearing, seeing, or feeling the presence) of a deceased person reported by bereaved people. Despite being of interest in psychological research for over a century, SED remain poorly understood and often overlooked in clinical practice and broader society. This historical review examines the evolution of psych…
Excavating Alcatrazes, Santiago Island, Cape Verde
Excavations at Alcatrazes, the seat of Cape Verde's short-lived second captaincy, have exposed a Portuguese colonial settlement, demonstrating continued occupation after the relocation of its official offices. The results include insights into early Luso-African practices and the presence of West African and local-made pottery, with environmental samples 'clocking' colonial introductions
Dense pasts
Cyril Fox's publication The archaeology of the Cambridge region (1923) is celebrated as a milestone in the development of landscape archaeology. Its centenary invites reflection on Fox's approach to landscape and on the development of knowledge about the archaeology of the Cambridge region over the intervening years. Here, the authors compare the evidence available to Fox with the results of three decades of development-led archaeology. The latte…

Finding Alcatrazes and early Luso-African settlement on Santiago Island, Cape Verde
After the Portuguese discovered the Cape Verde Islands in AD 1456 they divided its main island, Santiago, into two governing captaincies. The founding settlement in the south-west, Cidade Velha, soon became the Islands' capital and a thriving trade centre; in contrast, that in the east, Alcatrazes, only lasted as an official seat from 1484-1516 and is held to have 'failed' (see Richter 2015
Disappearance Beyond Recall
The interest which attaches to the history of extinct British animals can only be equalled by the regret which must be felt, by all true naturalists, at their disappearance beyond recall from our fauna (Harting 1880, 3; emphasis added). The implications of pit-deposits containing aurochs/ Bos primigenius skulls dating to the Bronze Age, found in two recent excavations in Bedfordshire are outlined. Involving a review of related findings in south-e…
Wearing environment and making islands
Dating the Dead
This paper outlines the results of a programme of radiocarbon dating and Bayesian modelling relating to an Early Bronze Age barrow cemetery at Over, Cambridgeshire. In total, 43 dates were obtained, enabling the first high-resolution independent chronology (relating to both burial and architectural events) to be constructed for a site of this kind. The results suggest that the three main turf-mound barrows were probably constructed and used succe…

This forum article is the product of interdisciplinary discussion at a conference on climate histories held in Cambridge, United Kingdom, in early 2011, with the specific aim of building a network around the issue of communicating cultural knowledge of environmental change. The lead articles, by Kirsten Hastrup as an anthropologist and Simon Schaffer as a historian of science, highlight the role of agents and proxies. These are followed by five i…
The Challenges and Potentials of Archaeological Heritage in Africa—Cape Verdean Reflections
An 'Imperial Philosophical Machine
Commercial excavators often find that their way back to the past runs through relatively recent structures. What should we do with them? Intellectually sensitive modern excavators, like our authors, are beginning to convince us that these recent constructions not only matter in themselves, but may have interesting links to what lies beneath. Here they introduce us to the foundations of an early telescope, a monument that takes its context both fr…
Celebrating the annus mirabilis
We are grateful to Chris Evans for convening and introducing this imaginative archaeological tribute to the work of Charles Darwin, 150 years after the publication of his On the origin of species - the inspiration for an evolutionary concept of history in so many fields. June 2009 is also the 150th anniversary of a yet more momentous event in the history of archaeology, the endorsement of the antiquity of human tool-making by observations in the …

Historiography & Fieldwork
This paper presents findings within Wyman Abbott's long-missing notebooks and other allied archival sources relating to his Fengate fieldwork during the early decades of the 20th century. Largely focusing upon its monuments, we here publish a manuscript concerned with his extraordinary, multiple-interment 'great' ringditch which is otherwise known from a paragraph's description in Hawkes and Fell's Antiquaries Jourual paper of 1945. Not only do t…
Conclusion
To write a history that views the Baltic-and Sweden in particularfrom the perspective of the Atlantic may seem perverse. After all, Sweden's experience of the Atlantic was largely indirect. The American colony of New Sweden (Nya Sverige) had been founded amid high hopes in 1638, but Swedish control of the lower Delaware valley was shortlived. 1 The territory was surrendered to the Dutch in 1655, who lost it in turn to the English. Swedish-speakin…

Life in the Woods
The deposition of Early Neolithic material within tree‐throw hollows in described, and the possible role of fallen trunks as places of occupation, settlement foci and landscape markers is discussed. Having implications for the interpretation of ubiquitous later Mesolithic pit dwellings, the evidence suggests a continuity of forest ‘identity’. Accordingly, patterns of clearances are also explored in relationship to modes of occupation, and the emp…

Archaeology and modern times
Fifty years ago this month there began the second Great European War of the century, a war that followed an uncomfortable decade of tensions and persecutions.

Constructing Houses and Building Context
Bersu's war-time excavation of three ‘great’ Iron Age round-houses on the Isle of Man are considered. Their archive includes letters from colleagues (eg Hawkes and Childe) which offer unique insights into the construction of fieldwork context, particularly, in this case, a Celtic paradigm. Concerned with house studies and the possibility of ‘reconstruction’, Bersu's methodology is analysed. Site documentation shows him to be a ‘graphic archaeolog…
Total Archaeology’ and Model Landscapes
This paper presents the results of fieldwork and archive ‘excavation’ relating to the causewayed enclosure at Great Wilbraham near Cambridge. Initiated in 1975 by David Clarke and John Alexander, the project effectively ceased after one further season following Clarke's untimely death. Combining original data with new results from geophysical and environmental surveys, a reappraisal of the site and its landscape context is offered. ‘The archive p…

Perishables and Worldly Goods — Artifact Decoration and Classification in the Light of Wetlands Research
Archaeology has long operated from the premise that there was a diverse and ornate organic ‘clothing’ on the ‘dry skeleton’ of the past which evades excavation. This paper evaluates the evidence from recent wetlands excavations and considers the implications of the paucity of organic containers found, and the lack of decoration on recovered organic materials, in Britain. It is argued that this negative evidence has important ramifications for our…
Evaluating the Human Rights Performance of Legislatures
Despite increased recognition of the role of legislatures in protecting human rights, particularly through their scrutiny of proposed legislation, there has been little detailed consideration of how best to evaluate their performance in discharging this role. This article aims to fill this significant gap by outlining and defending a methodology for carrying out such an evaluation. Our objective is to provide a rich and valid account of the perfo…

Exploring parallels between the careers of Lt.-General Pitt Rivers and Verne's Captain Nemo, this essay is concerned with time and disciplinary flagships. It considers how their respective collection activities propelled their very personal projects of science and, in the case of the General, its interrelationship with the institutionalisation of archaeology in the later nineteenth century. In particular, the implications of his renowned excavati…
The Hinxton Rings – A Late Iron Age Cemetery at Hinxton, Cambridgeshire, with a Reconsideration of Northern Aylesford-Swarling distributions
The excavation of a 1st century BC cremation cemetery having ring-ditch surrounded interments is reported. One of its two richly accompanied burials included an unparalleled drapery-cast stud/knob – an extraordinary object found within a cemetery with uniquely delineated graves. Given its location on the northern fringe of the distribution of Aylesford-Swarling cremation burials, the site prompts questions of core/periphery interrelationships, re…

Research as an Extended Group Phenomenon
After-lives of the Mongolian Yurt
The Mongolian yurt, now abandoned as a dwelling in much of Inner Mongolia (China), has an after-life in architecture, especially in public buildings in cities. We discuss the case of a failed tourist camp, constructed of brick ‘yurts’, which was built to exploit the exoticism of the Mongolian culture for the Han Chinese. This is an example of skeuopmorphic architecture, with deliberate slippage between the original and the copy, and we describe h…
