Health services use for injury amongst persons experiencing homelessness in Ontario, Canada
Homelessness is an increasingly prevalent public health concern and an important determinant of mental and physical health. The relationships between housing status and injury incidence and outcome are poorly understood. In this study we sought to both establish the epidemiology of injury amongst persons experiencing homelessness (PEH) and to determine the association between the experience of homelessness and utilization of acute care health ser…
Psychometric properties of the Chinese version of Young Person’s Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation (YP-Core)
In China there is an increasing need for suitable measures to evaluate clinical outcomes in adolescents’ psychological counselling processes. To satisfy this purpose, this study evaluated the Young Person’s Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation (YP-CORE)’s psychometric properties in a Chinese context with two groups: psychiatric outpatients (clinical group: n = 232) and middle-school student controls (non-clinical group: n = 441). All the parti…

King Arthur’s Round Table, Eamont Bridge, Cumbria
In 1937 the philosopher Robin Collingwood excavated a henge monument in Cumbria and identified the postholes of a series of timber buildings, which he compared with those at other sites. These structures at Eamont Bridge were replaced by a stone circle. He planned to continue the work for a second season, but was prevented by illness. His project was completed by the famous German scholar Gerhard Bersu, who concluded that many of the features ide…
Psychedelic-assisted grief therapy
This paper focuses on a single case of ayahuasca-assisted grief therapy for the prevention of complicated grief, conducted within a clinical trial. The participant, a woman in her thirties who lost her father to cancer, completed a 9-session process of Meaning Reconstruction Therapy (MRT) organised around two ayahuasca sessions. Following each psychedelic experience, she also completed a psychedelic integration session. The case study investigate…
Psychometric properties and score distributions of the Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation measures within a non-help-seeking population from Spain
Background The Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation (CORE) system is widely used to assess psychological well-being and clinical symptoms across various settings, but most studies on its psychometric properties have focused on clinical populations and the 34-item version, leaving a gap in understanding the performance of shorter versions and its applicability in non-help-seeking samples. Objective This study investigates the acceptability, rel…
Assessing the suitability and psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the YP-Core for adolescents in Latin America
This study addresses the need for, and provides, a Spanish-adapted YP-CORE tailored for use in Latin America. This freely available version has the potential to offer valuable insights into interventions for adolescents in the region and to enhance our understanding of their psychological distress
The influence of mode of remote delivery on health-related quality of life outcome measures in British Sign Language
The results demonstrate that EQ-5D-5L BSL, EQ-VAS BSL, and CORE-10 BSL may be considered as equivalent across modes of remote delivery. This further strengthens the validation of existing standardised assessments in BSL. A BSL version of the abstract is available in Supplementary Video 1

Repetition in abundant landscapes
In this paper, we draw attention to several regions of England where the knowledge of Iron Age and Roman settlement has reached a level of 'abundance' such that what we can say about the past goes beyond simply creating a gazetteer of 'sites', or discussing the presence or absence of particular settlement types. We explore how this level of 'abundance' has come about, and what the wider implications are interpretatively and for future work
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…
Perceiving those who are gone
Experiencing the continued presence of the deceased is common among the bereaved, whether as a sensory perception or as a felt presence. This phenomenon has been researched from psychological and psychiatric perspectives during the last five decades. Such experiences have been also documented in the ethnographic literature but, despite the extensive cross-cultural research in the area, anthropological data has generally not been considered in the…
Narratives of experiences of presence in bereavement
Bereaved people frequently report perceiving the continued presence of the person they lost in the form of a voice, a vision, a felt presence or any other sensory perception. This report explores this psychological phenomenon, experiences of presence, using narrative interviewing and analysis. Ten people were interviewed, in English or Spanish, using a biographical narrative procedure. The analysis, part of a project focused on unwelcome continue…
Acceptability and Psychometric Properties of the Spanish Translation of the Schwartz Outcome Scale-10 (SOS-10-E) Outside the United States
The Schwartz Outcome Scale-10 is a 10-item measure that has proven utility for assessing well-being and mental health and measuring change over time. Although there is a Spanish translation of the measure created in the United States for the Latino population, its acceptability and psychometric properties have not been studied in unilingual Spanish speakers, nor outside the United States. The aim of the present study is to explore these propertie…
Global importance of methane emissions from drainage ditches and canals
Globally, there are millions of kilometres of drainage ditches which have the potential to emit the powerful greenhouse gas methane (CH 4 ), but these emissions are not reported in budgets of inland waters or drained lands. Here, we synthesise data to show that ditches spanning a global latitudinal gradient and across different land uses emit large quantities of CH 4 to the atmosphere. Area-specific emissions are comparable to those from lakes, s…
Cleaner air reveals growing influence of climate on dissolved organic carbon trends in northern headwaters
Surface water browning, the result of increasing concentrations of dissolved organic matter (DOM), has been widespread in northern ecosystems in recent decades. Here, we assess a database of 426 undisturbed headwater lakes and streams in Europe and North America for evidence of trends in DOM between 1990 and 2016. We describe contrasting changes in DOM trends in Europe (decelerating) and North America (accelerating), which are consistent with org…
Dissolved and gaseous nitrogen losses in forests controlled by soil nutrient stoichiometry
Global chronic nitrogen (N) deposition to forests can alleviate ecosystem N limitation, with potentially wide ranging consequences for biodiversity, carbon sequestration, soil and surface water quality, and greenhouse gas emissions. However, the ability to predict these consequences requires improved quantification of hard-to-measure N fluxes, particularly N gas loss and soil N retention. Here we combine a unique set of long-term catchment N budg…
Longitudinal Distress among Brazilian University Workers during Pandemics
The present study aimed to examine changes in mental distress in Brazilian university workers during the pandemic. All workers ( n ≃ 1850) of an institution were invited to respond to a survey that took place in three stages, with collections in May ( n = 407), June/July ( n = 258), and August ( n = 207) 2020, and included questions on demographic, health, general and psychological support, and psychometric assessment of mental distress (Clinical…

The four phases of the digital natives debate
The challenge of educating digital natives has caused educators to radically rethink the ways in which they teach the generations who have come of age immersed in modern technology. Over the years, the discussion has caused a certain level of panic among non-natives, the so-called digital immigrants, educators who fear that they do not possess the technical skills to teach their tech-savvy students. In an effort to help educators and other reader…
Digging with the Pen 1
The influence of post-structural critique has caused archaeology to acknowledge the textuality of its discourse and has prompted questions concerning how the the discipline 'writes' itself. This chapter not directly addresses problems of written discourse within the discipline, but rather the manner in which prehistory and 'archaeology' have been variously employed in recent novels. The higher public profile of archaeology since the Second World …
Exploration of the psychometric properties of the Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation-Outcome Measure in Ecuador
The results support the use of the CORE-OM as a valid and reliable instrument in a non-clinical Ecuadorean population. Exploration of the psychometric properties in a clinical population is recommended to assure its use in clinical settings
Psychological Distress of University Workers during Covid-19 Pandemic in Brazil
The study aimed to explore mental distress during COVID-19 quarantine in a sample of university workers in Brazil. The survey included sets of questions about demographics, health, and support, an open question about major concerns, and the Clinical Outcome Routine Evaluation (CORE-OM), a measure of mental distress. A total of 407 professionals, mean age 40, SD 11.2, fulfilling social distancing (99%) participated in the study. Participants were …

Baltic Iron in the Atlantic World in the Eighteenth Century
The eighteenth century is often viewed as the heroic age of the British iron industry - a time of triumphant technological progress. In fact, it was an age of thwarted ambition, when the take-up of new technologies proved frustratingly slow. The eighteenth century was more accurately the age of Baltic iron. Swedish and Russian iron surged onto the British market, meeting the demand that British ironmasters could not satisfy. This was of epochal i…
Communicating Climate Knowledge
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…
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…
Historicism, chronology and straw men
Christopher Hawkes was one of the leading British archaeological theorists in the middle decades of this century. Much underrated, Hawkes is reassessed here in the broader development of processual archaeology in Britain
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…

Voyage Iron
An array of goods was traded to Africa in the era of the transatlantic slave trade. Many were eye-catching consumer goods; others were far more mundane, including ‘voyage iron’, a metal forged in northern Europe, bars of which acted as a currency along the West African coast. This article examines the geography of voyage iron production, showing that it originated in places – primarily Sweden – that are not often thought of as being connected to …
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
Brazilian Gold, Cuban Copper and the Final Frontier of British Anti-Slavery
This paper concerns the problems that transnational mining companies posed for British abolitionists in the years after emancipation in Britain's Caribbean empire. British-owned mines, operating in Cuba and Brazil, were the largest slave enterprises in the western hemisphere c. 1840. Abolitionists were, of course, outraged by the existence of London-based companies that exploited slave labour, but an attempt in 1843 to prohibit the owning of slav…
Assembly and Collection – Lithic Complexes in the Cambridgeshire Fenlands
Campaigns of large-scale fieldwalking and in-depth evaluation on later Mesolithic, Neolithic, and Bronze Age lithic scatters are reported. In a regional context they are remarkable in their scale, density, and resolution, and raise questions concerning the character of early settlement and its corollary in landscape mobility – variously an archaeology of ‘meeting/return’, ‘task’, and ‘trace’
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…
T witter for teaching
Can social media be used to enhance the process of learning by students in higher education? Social media have become widely adopted by students in their personal lives. However, the application of social media to teaching and learning remains to be fully explored. In this study, the use of the social media tool Twitter for teaching was considered. Undergraduate students in B usiness and M anagement ( n = 252) were encouraged to use T witter for …
Making time work
The expansion of large-scale excavation in Britain and parts of Continental Europe, funded by major development projects, has generated extensive new datasets. But what might we be losing when surfaces are routinely stripped by machines? Investigation by hand of ploughsoils and buried soils in the Fenlands of eastern England reveals high densities of artefacts and features that would often be destroyed or overlooked. These investigations throw ne…
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…

Tax Non-Compliance and Perceptions of Corruption
Tax non-compliance and perceptions of corruption are key challenges to state-building in developing countries. Using a social psychology approach, we develop a theoretical model in which different forms of perceived corruption can adversely influence the way individual taxpayers behave. We then apply this model to Indonesia, placing our empirical findings in the context of compliance risk management, identifying strategies to improve tax complian…
A world of copper
For most of human history the smelting of metallic ores has been performed immediately adjacent to the ore body. In the 1830s the copper industry that was centred on Swansea in the UK departed abruptly from that ancient pattern: Swansea smelters shipped in ores from very distant locations, including sites in Australasia, Latin America, and southern Africa. Swansea became the hub of a globally integrated heavy industry, one that deployed capital o…
Small devices, memory and model architectures
Documenting instances of model-rendering amongst the Gurung communities of central Nepal (and, also, now in London), the article considers issues relating to information-transfer in non-/subliterate and past archaeological circumstances. It variously reflects upon 'play', craft reproduction and the limitations of memory, as well as scientific/technological representation and, particularly, Himalayan modes of ritual substitution

Delivering Bodies unto Waters
This paper describes a Late Bronze Age midden settlement and a later Iron Age ritual complex on Godwin Ridge, a sand ridge that formerly lay mid-stream within the lower reaches of the River Great Ouse, in the Cambridgeshire fens. Numerous ritual deposits and significant quantities of human remains were recovered; some of the latter show signs of having been modified or dismembered. The ritual focus of the ridge was a riverside platform; associate…
Small agencies and great consequences
Recent years have seen renewed interest in Darwinian concepts as an inspiration for evolutionary theory in archaeology (for example Barton & Clark 1997; Hart & Terrell 2002). This is not, however, the thrust of this paper, whose aims are more historiographic than programmatic. It will not focus upon Darwin's 'big book',The Origin... of 1859 (or evenThe Descent... of 12 years later), but rather his last volume, the wonderfully curiousThe formation…
History, Timelessness and the Monumental
Concerned with the ‘meaning’, variability and material transformation of the sacred oboo cairns of Inner Asia, this study focuses upon four of these stone settings within the environs of Mergen Monastery. Two have been rebuilt since their destruction during the Cultural Revolution, and one markedly registers its recent history. The layout of these complex monuments (involving diverse ancillary elements) reflects the processes of Buddhicization of…

The total score of the Crown‐Crisp Experiential Index
The Crown‐Crisp Experiential Index (CCEI) was designed as a measure of neurotic symptomatology. The tendency has been to report upon its six separate scales and to ignore the total score. We report on the use of the CCEI in a detailed interview study of 208 40–49‐year‐old women from a local community and 40 patients of the same age range and sex from a psychiatric hospital. In this study, scores on the six scales of the CCEI were shown to be high…

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…

Some meanings of body and self in eating‐disordered and comparison subjects
A new repertory grid was used to compare a group of 27 eating‐disordered women (EDS) with a group of 20 women of normal weight without eating disorders (NWC) on contrasts from theories which link abnormalities in the perception of body and self to the eating disorders. No evidence was found for greater polarization of either self or body images in the EDS. A negative connotation of the body at normal weight and overweight was specific to EDS, but…
Therapeutic Community Treatment for Personality Disordered Adults
Personality disordered patients are important as they place high continuing demands on services and are often refractory to traditional treatments. Often personality disorders may co-exist with neurotic symptomatology, worsening prognosis of the latter. This paper reports change in neurotic symptomatology following intensive, long term, therapeutic community treatment for such patients. Sixty two subjects with personality disorder were followed u…
Could ‘objective, experimental’ analysis of human motivation really improve psychotherapy
Cattell is a founding father of modern, multivariate psychological method and his paper is a fine introduction to his views on motivation which have perhaps received less attention in Britain than they deserve. However, it was the unanimous opinion of three referees that it needed to be followed by a dissenting voice. In this counterargument I suggest that Cattell's presentation is: (1) ingenuously confident of the power of multivariate statistic…
