101. British Archaeology, No 19, November 1996: Obituary Obituary by Richard Bradley in british archaeology of the late Professor at Edinburgh University and leading British prehistorian. http://www.britarch.ac.uk/ba/ba19/ba19obit.html

British Archaeology , no 19, November 1996: Obituary Stuart Piggott by Richard Bradley British archaeology has lost the last of its `three wise men'. The death of Stuart Piggott, so soon after Christopher Hawkes and Grahame Clark, means that an entire generation of prehistorians who began their careers in the late 1920s has now passed. More than anyone else, they laid the foundations for the study of British prehistory and between them they taught most of the senior figures in the discipline today. Stuart Piggott was very different from both his great contemporaries. He was self-taught and never attended university. He began his career as a field archaeologist, working first in field survey and then as Alexander Keiller's assistant in the excavations at Avebury. He acquired his practical archaeology through his professional work, but he was always a man of wide sympathies. In his early years in Hampshire he learned his distinctive draughtsmanship from the work of Heywood Sumner, one of the last survivors of the Arts and Crafts Movement. He studied the life and work of William Stukeley, and during his wartime service he gained a first-hand acquaintance with the archaeology of India. This provided the subject matter of his first book, published in 1946. His second, Fire Among the Ruins , was a complete contrast, for this was a collection of poems in the manner of AE Housman.

Fisheries The Commission's Reports Short Reports Aviation Energy Crops Comments from the Council for British Archaeology on the scoping of the Chemicals Study From: Alex Hunt, Research and Conservation Officer, Council for British Archaeology, Bowes Morrell House, 111 Walmgate, York YO1 9WA 24th January 2001 Introduction We warmly welcome the opportunity to comment during this initial phase of the Royal Commission's study into the long-term effects of chemicals in the environment. The CBA recognises that chemicals in the environment can have an extremely deleterious effect on human health, habitats and wildlife. We also recognise that, as a consequence, there is a pressing need to drastically reduce emissions of harmful chemicals now and in the future, as well as the need for remedial action to minimise the threat posed by chemicals released into the environment in the past. However, the presence of chemicals in the environment, and in particular the remedial processes adopted for their removal, can have a range of very significant impacts upon archaeological and historic environment assets. These impacts broadly fall into three key areas: • The impact of airborne pollutants on historic buildings;

103. British Archaeology, No 51, February 2000: Favourite Finds Mick Aston recalls the day he stumbled on a deserted medieval village. An article in the 'Favourite Finds' series, british archaeology, no 51. http://www.britarch.ac.uk/ba/ba51/ba51int.html

ISSN 1357-4442 Editor: Simon Denison Issue no 51, February 2000 FAVOURITE FINDS I blame the champagne Mick Aston recalls the day he stumbled on a deserted medieval village My favourite discovery took place in the summer of about 1976, when I was county archaeologist in Somerset. I was on my way back from Richard Bradley's wedding [he's now Professor of Archaeology at Reading University], and there were four of us in the car, the archaeologists Pete Leach and Ann Woodward, plus my wife. The wedding had been great. There were lots of archaeologists and I remember drinking a lot of champagne. Anyway, at this stage in the journey I was desperate to relieve myself and we had to pull the car over. It was a nice bright low-sun day, getting towards the evening. I climbed over the gate and was standing against the hedge, when I looked around and there was this amazing great sea of earthworks. One little walk out into it showed there was a holloway down the middle, and there were house platforms along each side. It was very, very clear. The cattle must have been in there and eaten all the grass down, otherwise it would have been overgrown. What I'd found was the remains of Nether Adber, one of the best preserved deserted villages in Somerset. The village is mentioned in Domesday Book. The fact was, the thing was sitting there, in the middle of the Somerset countryside

Contacts About the Ship In July 2002 the remarkably well preserved remains of a medieval ship were discovered during excavation works for a new Arts Centre on the banks of the River Usk in central Newport, South Wales. Unusually, the hull remained largely intact, and it is estimated to have been in the region of 25 metres in length and 8m beam. The vessel was scheduled for destruction to allow the completion of the Arts Centre to its original timetable. However following a high profile campaign launched by local people - originally under the title "Save our Ship" and now as "The Friends of the Newport Ship" - which was supported by local and national archaeological organisations, almost all of the Ship was archaeologically excavated and recovered. Why is the Newport Ship Significant ?

ISSN 1357-4442 Editor: Simon Denison Issue no 4, May 1995 INTERVIEW Simon Denison talks to Tom Hassall The suit shall not contain him No doubt about it, the new National Monuments Record Centre, which opened in Swindon last year, is an intriguing idea. Photos, surveys and building records, produced by the English Royal Commission over the past century, are now on one site for the first time and thrown open to the public. This turning outwards, this reformulation of itself as an open-access, public-service outfit, marks a brave new direction for the Commission - and one not without risk. Whether the type of record held will ever interest more than a specialist audience, time alone will tell. But as an idea, as a new democratic for the Commission, the NMR Centre is beyond reproach. Presiding over the Commission's rebirth, and enormously proud of the new infant, is Tom Hassall, Secretary of the Commission since 1986. The opening of the Centre, he told me on the phone, was `the most important event for the national heritage in years'. I had to come down, he insisted, to see for myself.

109. British Archaeology, No 10, December 1995: Interview Interview in british archaeology with archaeologist Francis Pryor (1945 ) best known for his remarkable work at Flag Fen, the famous Bronze Age site. http://www.britarch.ac.uk/ba/ba10/ba10int.html

British Archaeology , no 10, December 1995: Interview Simon Denison talks to Francis Pryor This shepherd won't follow the flock He said he was the world's worst photographic subject, because he couldn't keep his face still for a moment. `Oh, and Christ, Maisie will kill me, 'cause I haven't combed my hair . . .' So far, so good. The man who can't feign an unctious smile, and who maintains a tousled appearance despite his wife's strictures, is Francis Pryor - a man as well known for his outspoken opinions, and his maverick refusal to conform to archaeology's `safe, middle- class culture' (as he puts it), as for his remarkable work at Flag Fen, the famous Bronze Age site near Peterborough which he found, and has excavated for over a dozen years. Green-jacketed, check-shirted, he is an upper-class countryman, a part-time sheep farmer as well as a prehistorian, disdainful of shallow urbanities and without much conventional ambition. We pace about Flag Fen on a bright, cold winter afternoon, at a time when the place is empty of visitors, a silent, watery outpost amid acres of flat dark soil. He is master of this, his own small domain, and it suits him well. Francis Pryor claims to be unemployable, because of his inability to tolerate a superior telling him what to do. Yet, recently elevated to the Ancient Monuments Advisory Committee (AMAC) at English Heritage, he has now been invited to deliver, next month, the first lecture sponsored by the British Archaeological Awards. Does it all mean that he's sliding peacefully, in middle age, into a cosy place in the establishment? `Good God, I hope not. I'll still be a rebel on AMAC,' he promised, ominously.

110. British Archaeology, No 40, December 1998: Comment The new plans for Stonehenge deserve support, writes Francis Pryor in british archaeology. http://www.britarch.ac.uk/ba/ba40/ba40comm.html

ISSN 1357-4442 Editor: Simon Denison Issue no 40, December 1998 COMMENT The great prize of starlit Stonehenge The new plans for Stonehenge deserve support, writes Francis Pryor Sun temple, waymarker, computer, observatory, Tess's rendezvous, New Age icon, witness of 5,000 years, World Heritage Site, traffic jam - Stonehenge is a universe of identities. It is also, according to the Parliamentary Public Accounts Committee, a national disgrace. One of the oldest, most mysterious buildings in the world is today bracketed by noisy roads, approached via a dismal concrete subway, and displayed like a beast in a third-rate zoo. When bemused visitors depart few realise that they have been standing in the midst of an astonishing ceremonial landscape. After years of dithering by successive Governments, Culture Secretary Chris Smith has unveiled proposals which aim to redeem the disgrace. The Stonehenge `Masterplan' provides for closure of the A344 alongside the stones, burial of the A303 in a tunnel, removal of the nearby carpark and visitor facilities, and the creation of a new visitor centre outside the World Heritage Site. Frequent shuttle buses would carry visitors free of charge along existing roads to a point about half a mile from the stones, whence all but the less able would walk. Anyone disinclined to use the visitor centre would be free to enter the landscape on foot. Since distance will be a deterrent to rapid visits, pressure on the stones will be relieved.

Gloucester City council are currently considering a number of ways to save money for next year, and the Archaeology Unit is a prime target. Alex Hunt of the CBA reports that the proposal is apparently to cut the field unit section. According to the local Unison branch 5 out of 7 staff will go and the service will be reduced, relocated and refocused on providing purely planning advice and monitoring. The council plans to make a decision on the proposal on 16th October, so there is only a relatively short time in which to lobby them.
