Abstract:
Baltinglass is a multi-chamber Neolithic passage tomb in Co. Wicklow, Ireland, excavated in the 1930s. This paper presents the results of a radiocarbon dating programme on charred wheat grains and hazelnut shell found underlying the cairn, and on cremated human bone found within and near two of the monument’s five chambers. The results are surprising, in that three of the six determinations on calcined bone pre-date by one or two centuries the charred cereals and hazelnut shells sealed under the cairn, dating to c. 3600–3400 calbc. Of the remaining three bone results, one is coeval with the charred plant remains, while the final two can be placed in the period 3300/3200–2900 calbc, that is more traditionally associated with developed passage tombs. A suggested sequence of construction is presented beginning with a simple tomb lacking a cairn, followed by a burning event – perhaps a ritual preparation of the ground – involving the deposition of cereal grains and other materials, very rapidly and intentionally sealed under a layer of clay, in turn followed by at least two phases involving the construction of more substantial chambers and associated cairns. What was already a complex funerary monument has proven to be even more complex, with a history spanning at least six centuries.

Abstract:
Rathmell Archaeology Ltd carried out the excavation of a disturbed kerbed cairn at Swaites Hill, Cloburn Quarry, South Lanarkshire. An inner and outer kerb were noted: the inner revealed two short cists, one containing two cremation burials. A third disturbed cremation burial with associated cordoned urn was present within cairn material between the inner and outer kerbs. A second urn and further cremated human bone deposits were found in the upper cairn material. The discovery of a Middle Bronze Age rapier within re-deposited cairn material hints at even more complexity; however, the full picture was sadly obscured by eighteenth to nineteenth century disturbance.

Abstract:
The excavation in 2015 of a hilltop Bronze Age funerary cairn in South Lanarkshire resulted in the discovery of a Bronze Age rapier, found amongst displaced cairn material ( Gordon and McKinstry 2019 ). This paper discusses the wider context of the find, focussing on the differing strategies employed in rapier deposition, in contrast with those evident amongst finds of later Early Bronze Age daggers. It concludes with the observation that our assumptions regarding the deposition of Early and Middle Bronze Age daggers and rapiers cannot go unquestioned and that the strategies which underpin their deposition may be more complex than can sometimes be assumed.

Abstract:
This report sets out the results of a programme of topographic survey, geophysical survey, field walking and trial excavation, carried out in 1998–99 and funded by Historic Scotland, in and around an extensive upland prehistoric landscape in the Upper Clyde Valley. It was designed to build on the results of limited excavation of a large, late Neolithic enclosure at Blackshouse Burn, South Lanarkshire (NGR: NS 9528 4046) and preliminary survey of nearby monuments undertaken in the 1980s, and to identify and characterize prehistoric settlement in the adjacent valleys through field walking. Topographic survey of the enclosures at Blackshouse Burn, Meadowflatts and Chester Hill, and of hut circles, clearance cairns and a possible ring cairn on Cairngryffe and Swaites Hills, recorded a complex ritual and domestic landscape: evidence of the longstanding prehistoric occupation of the Pettinain Uplands. The geophysical survey of Chester Hill enclosure found traces of internal structures and quarry scoop, while geophysical survey of part of the large Blackshouse Burn monument and smaller adjacent enclosure found evidence for a curvilinear feature in the large enclosure and a possible screen in its entrance. The systematic examination of ploughed fields in the valleys to the west and south-west of the upland monument complex discovered several concentrations of lithics, most notably evidence of late Mesolithic tool production and late Neolithic to early Bronze Age tool production and domestic activity. Trial trenches excavated over a late Mesolithic cluster at Carmichael found a knapping floor and several structural features.

Abstract:
The first season of an on-going project focused on Leskernick Hill, north-west Bodmin Moor, Cornwall, entailed a preliminary settlement survey and limited excavation of a stone row terminal. Leskernick comprises a western and a southern settlement situated on the lower, stony slopes of the hill and including 51 circular stone houses constructed using a variety of building techniques. Walled fields associated with these houses vary in size from 0.25–1 ha and appear to have accreted in a curvilinear fashion from a number of centres. Five smal burial mounds and a cist are associated with the southern settlement, all but one lying around the periphery of the field system. The western settlement includes ‘cairn-like’ piles of stones within and between some houses and some hut circles may have been converted into cairns. The settlements may have been built sequentially but the layout of each adheres to a coherent design suggesting a common broad phase of use. The southern settlement overlooks a stone-free plain containing a ceremonial complex.The paper presents a narrative account of the work and considers not only the form, function, and chronology of the sites at Leskernick but also seeks to explore the relationships between people and the landscape they inhabit; the prehistoric symbolic continuum from house to field to stone row etc, and to investigate the relationship between archaeology as a discourse on the past and archaeology as practice in the present. It considers how the daily process of excavation generates alternative site histories which are subsequently abandoned, forgotten, perpetuated or transformed.

Abstract:
Many American scholars work in Cairo these days. For this reason, we pay more attention to Egyptian history-writing, to the situation of the archives as well as to newly discovered textual sources. I have compiled here a few notes along these lines.Published in late 2004, Mashayna khatti-sirah dhatiyah [Going My Way], (Cairo: Dar al-Hilal, 336 pp.), is an unusual work by the well-known Egyptian historian Raouf Abbas, which sold several thousand copies in days and elicited a number of reviews. The wide interest in this autobiographical work doubtless lies in the controversial subjects it raises and the names it names.

Abstract:
The account of the destruction of the giants in the flood presented in lines 1689b–93 ofBeowulfis probably the commentary of the narrator and not part of the inscription on the hilt. It is addressed to the audience, and it completes our understanding of the significance of Beowulf's victory beneath the mere. Hroðgar's extended gaze at the hilt before he begins his speech is a sign that he is also reaching toward a new understanding of theeotenaswho have plagued his people. Regardless of whether he is able to read the runic inscription on the hilt, he can read the hilt itself against Beowulf's account of his struggle. The presence of the hilt in his hands implies an extensive social nexus for his apparently solitary enemies, who are now revealed as the enemies of God as well. Hroðgar knows nothing of the biblical stories of Cain and Abel or the flood, but his understanding of the meaning of Grendel's attacks now tracks that of the audience fairly closely. Although his “sermon” is not a direct response to the brief account of the flood, this account provides us with a context for understanding his speech.

Abstract:
Public space has been always regarded as a reflection of the social status of the community. Based on this assumption, the challenge for achieving a ‘socially sustainable’ community in Cairo is in need to be re-questioned in relation to the role of public space. Accordingly, the paper explores the role of public-space in maintaining the social sustenance in the extreme ends of Cairo’s social structure, first: the gated communities taking ‘Beverly Hills’ as a prototype, and second the informal areas taking ‘Al-Zahraa’ district a prototype.Keywords: Social sustainability; Neoliberalism; Public spaces; Gated communities.eISSN 2398-4295 © 2018.

The Cairn Hill Fe-(Cu-Au) deposit is located within the World-class 1.6 Ga Olympic iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) Province of the Gawler Craton, South Australia. Cairn Hill deposit formation was penecontemperaneous with regional orogenesis, and is interpreted as a deep-level, ‘magnetite-rich’ end-member IOCG system hosted by an upper-amphibolite quartzofeldspathic ortho-gneiss and Mesoproterozoic (1600 – 1575 Ma) Hiltaba-equivalent Balta-suite granites and granodiorites. U-Pb zircon SHRIMP dating of a representative host rock and cross-cutting foliated granitic dyke, constrains the timing of mineralisation between ~1587 Ma and ~1525 Ma, respectively; suggesting an affinity to Hiltaba-age granitoids. The deposit strikes E-W over a distance of 1.3 km and is up to 40 m wide. It is characterized by two mineralised zones: the North- and South- Lodes, coincident with subsidiary structures within the transpressional Cairn Hill Shear Zone (CHSZ), and concordant with the strike of the encompassing magnetic anomaly. Progressive exhumation resulted in temperature and pressure decreases under high-fluid pressure causing the CHSZ to cross the brittle-ductile transition. This occurred relatively late in the hydrothermal-metamorphic evolution, resulting in a contractional duplex in a restraining bend suggestive of a positive flower structure providing an optimal conduit for hydrothermal fluid-flow. Early Na-Ca alteration has affected the host rocks predominantly characterised by albite + scapolite + diopside ± actinolite/titanite. Extensive K-Fe metasomatism has affected the host rocks overprinted by localised zones of intense, texturally-destructive high-temperature magnetite-biotite alteration that is typical of a transitional-style IOCG system. Associated hypogene iron mineralisation predominantly consists of magnetite, with extensive zones of a superimposed texturally-complex sulphide assemblage (pyrite-pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite). Definition of the IOCG deposit clan remains a contentious issue, primarily due to mis-classification and poor understanding of some individual deposits. Nevertheless, the general consensus is that IOCG deposits sensu-stricto represent a spectrum between high-temperature, deeper magnetite-rich end-member systems, such as Cairn Hill, and lower-temperature, shallower hematite-rich end-members.

Abstract:
The two men in white anoraks were slowly approaching, skiing in the bitter cold over the Hardangervidda mountain plateau in the winter of 1943. Were they friends or foes? This was a matter of life and death for the six young men watching the only other living beings in sight for miles of snow-clad wilderness. Their pace was slow, the men were thin and didn’t look too well, just as if they might well have spent 130 days of the winter of 1942–43 hidden in a rudimentary hut on the mountain, surviving on moss and poached reindeer. It had to be them. The group’s leader, Joachim Rønneberg, decided to make contact. This story is first a tragedy and then a success, and it does not begin on the Hardangervidda but in Scotland where Britain’s ski capital, the small town of Aviemore in the Cairngorms National Park, is going to be our starting point for several dangerous journeys across the North Sea. A few years ago we drove up the main mountain road, eventually leading to the Cairn Gorm peak itself, 4,084 feet (1,245 metres) above sea level, and passed the park’s visitors’ centre located in pretty surroundings by a small lake. We glimpsed something flapping in the wind that did look a bit like the Union Jack, an unlikely occurrence in the highlands. We turned around and took the path up the hill, and soon discovered that what we first mistook for the British ensign, because of its colours, was in fact the Norwegian national flag. In 1468, when the Norwegians gave away their last Scottish possessions to King James III in Edinburgh, the Norwegian flag had not even been invented, so we were a wee bit curious as to why it was flying here, in the heart of the Cairngorms. But of course, mountains, snow, and skiing—what could be more Norwegian? And this simplistic reasoning is actually closer to the answer than we might have thought, as a commemorative sign told us that on this spot were the lodgings of the famous Kompani Linge during World War II.

Roughly 3 kilometers south of the Great Pyramid, his mission from the University of Innsbruck was to search for traces of early, predynastic settlement. The author then describes her dealings with foreign colleagues and considers the modern divide between Egyptian and European scholars. The chapter also looks at Howard Carter's discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun in the year 1922. In the same year, Egypt achieved its independence and a new era began for Egyptians in terms of politics.

Abstract:
While Zaydān serialized novels in early issues of Al-Hilāl, which began publishing in Cairo in September 1892, the novel installments staged a gradual migration, from the center of each issue, to the end of the issue, later to become a stand- alone supplement that could be bound as a book at year-end. In later reprints of back issues of the early years of Al-Hilāl -- offered in Zaydān’s time as bound volumes, and comprising the majority of library archives today -- Zaydān’s novels are nowhere to be found. While many a scholar of Arabic literature has been left befuddled by this archive’s early literary poverty, this chapter argues that by carefully attending to these palimpsestic traces of serialization, a history of the Arabic novel comes into view: these early editions reveal to us the historical moment of which they were a product, bearing the mark of a contingent mode of speculation, and of the threatening porosity of fiction and finance.

Abstract:
This book began with one site in Ireland and closes with another. The Loughcrew Hills in County Meath include at least twenty-five megalithic tombs, located on three summits along a prominent ridge. Many of them were investigated in the nineteenth century when Neolithic artefacts were found there. More recent work has been less extensive but features an analysis of the carved decoration inside these monuments, for the Loughcrew complex is one of the main concentrations of megalithic art in Europe (Shee Twohig 1981: 205–20). Early excavation in the westernmost group of monuments had an unexpected result, for Cairn H contained a remarkable collection of artefacts which must have been deposited three thousand years after the tomb was built. They included bronze and iron rings, glass beads, and over four thousand bone flakes (Conwell 1873). A new excavation took place in 1943, but its results only added to the confusion and, perhaps for that reason, they were not published for more than six decades (Raftery 2009). They seemed to show that the artefacts, which obviously date from the Iron Age, were directly associated with the construction of the monument; today it seems more likely that they were a secondary deposit. When they were introduced to the site, the tomb may have been rebuilt. One reason why the bone flakes attracted so much attention is that a small number of them—about a hundred and fifty in all— were decorated in the same style as Iron Age metalwork. Most of the patterns are curvilinear and show the special emphasis on circles and arcs that characterize ‘Celtic’ art (Raftery 1984: 251–63). This discovery illustrates a problem in Irish archaeology. A few stone tombs in other regions were decorated in a style that has been identified as either Neolithic or Iron Age (Shee Twohig 1981: 235–6), but in the case of the flakes from Loughcrew there is no such ambiguity. Not only do the incised patterns compare closely with those on metalwork, the decorated artefacts were associated with beads and rings dating to the end of the first millennium BC. Even so, two problems remain.

Full text
Abstract:
Hillforts are conventionally regarded as a phenomenon of the Late Bronze Age and Iron Age of temperate Europe, with some sites being constructed or reoccupied in the post-Roman Iron Age or Early Medieval period. In broad chronological terms, 1000 BC to AD 1000 covers the two millennia of the ‘long Iron Age’ in which hillforts are a major field monument. The concept of enclosure nevertheless has a much longer ancestry, from at least the earliest Neolithic. Some enclosed sites of the Neolithic and earlier Bronze Age in central Europe may be located on elevated ground or on promontories and may involve palisades or earthworks around their perimeter, just like Iron Age hillforts, so that the question arises whether these should not qualify as hillforts. To argue that their topographic location, or the scale or layout of enclosure, is not indicative of a primarily defensive purpose will not do, because some Iron Age hillforts seem to be compromised on these criteria. Nevertheless, by not entirely rational convention, hillforts as a regular class of field monuments are generally recognized from the Late Bronze Age, when their appearance in central and western Europe coincides with an intensification in the quantity and number of types of weaponry and defensive armour associated especially with the Urnfield culture. There are a number of hillfort sites in Britain where there is underlying evidence of Neolithic occupation, including occupation that was originally defined by enclosing works of earth or stone. There is no question of claiming continuity of occupation from Neolithic to Iron Age, but since the earlier earthworks would almost certainly still have been visible—at Maiden Castle, for instance, where the earliest Iron Age hillfort follows almost exactly the extent of the Neolithic enclosure—there is every reason to suppose that the existence of earthworks that would have been recognized as ancient, even if they were not formally venerated as places of ancestors, may have encouraged choice of these sites. An alternative interpretation would be simply to assume that the same advantages of location that commended themselves to Neolithic communities coincidentally satisfied equally the requirements of their Iron Age successors. But in that event the earlier monuments, like the Hambledon Hill long barrow or the Foel Trigarn cairns (Plate 14b), would hardly have been accorded the respect by later occupants that their condition indicates they were.
