Abstract:
The relationship between average indoor levels of radon and lung cancer mortality in the counties of Cornwall and Devon, England, are investigated. The associations of population density, social-class distribution, and regional smoking prevalence with lung cancer mortality in the local-authority districts of England and Wales were estimated by regression analysis. Low rates of lung cancer in Cornwall and Devon were predicted from the relationship. The differences between observed and predicted mortality in Cornwall and Devon districts were compared with average indoor levels of radon, which varied considerably between districts. Residual variations in lung cancer mortality were not significantly correlated with average indoor radon measurements. The current advice of the National Radiological Protection Board to government is to concentrate radon measurements, remedial action, and preventive action principally on Cornwall and Devon, but cross-sectional geographical data do not support the hypothesis that raised levels of radon indoors in southwest England have an important effect on lung cancer mortality.

Abstract:
Abstract. The occurrence of orbitolinids in onshore and offshore South-West England is fully documented for the first time. Palorbitolina lenticularis is known from the Early Aptian — Late Barremian sediments of the offshore Fastnet Basin, and may also occur in the Aptian Farringdon Greensand. Late Albian Orbitolina sefini occurs in the Wolborough Limestone of Devon, whilst at Haldon, Devon, the orbitoline faunas are of Early Cenomanian age and referable to Orbitolina cf. concava. The orbitolinids from the Upper Greensand of the south-east Devon coast and the Fastnet Basin cannot be precisely identified, but belong to the Late Albian — Early Cenomanian O. sefini - O. concava plexus. Previous records of Orbitolina from the Upper Greensand at Wilmington are shown to be mistaken. These records are in fact referable to the sponge Porosphaera. The precise identification of some of the orbitolinids from South-West England supports the ages of the Wolborough Limestone and Haldon Sands suggested by Hamblin & Wood (1976). It is thought that orbitolinids migrated from Iberia to South-West England via the South-West Approaches during the Late Albian.

Abstract:
The large hillfort at Hembury, near Honiton (Devon) is one of the most impressive late prehistoric sites in South-West England. Occupied in the Neolithic and Iron Age, it was taken over by a Roman force about or shortly before A.D. 50. Substantial timber buildings were constructed, including a probablefabrica, in which iron from the adjacent Blackdown hills was worked. The Roman site was abandoned by the early Flavian period and not reoccupied. Though not evidently a conventional fort, Hembury joins a list of hillforts in South-West England which were used by the Roman army in the early decades of conquest. These include Hod Hill and possibly Maiden Castle (Dorset), Ham Hill and South Cadbury (Somerset).

Abstract:
This thesis is a contribution to the social history of medieval Devon and the south- west in the lifetimes of the first two Courtenay earls, Hugh II (1275-1340) and Hugh III (1303-77). The fourteenth century was an era of particular importance to the region's social evolution, in which many sectors of the non-agrarian economy - cloth production, mining fishing, ship-building, intermational commerce - attained impressive levels of growth, interrupted perhaps only moderately by the demographic crises of the middle decades. Further encouragement to economic prosperity came from the war with France, which stimulated demographic and urban communities on the south coast and provided fresh opportunities for employment and personal advancement. Against this backdrop of economic change, the pattern of aristocratic power in the south-western peninsula was undergoing a fundamental transformation and shift in focus. Two great Anglo-Norman honors were united in 1297 under the Courtenays, giving a single aristocratic dynasty unprecedented influence and leverage over local society. Permanently resident in the county and led by vigorous personalities, the family rapidly became ubiquitous in all sectors of public life and the region experienced a quality and intensity of lordship rarely witnessed in the previous two centuries. The current work supplies a deficiency in the study of the medieval south-west, but also makes a case for extending the remit of a traditional county-based study to encompass a wider cultural and economic hinterland. Particular attention is paid to the influence of the physical landscape and geography on economic and seignorial development in medieval society. The thesis is divided into two parts: the first dealing with the economic and social infrastructure, and 'setting the scene' with a long-term historical survey; the second focusing specifically on the fourteenth century and placing a discussion of local power structures in a wider 'national' context.

Abstract:
Detailed mapping of the rocks to the north and south of Plymouth reveals a sedimentary sequence deformed by a series of folds and thrusts. Two structural zones exist each with a different style of deformation. In the Lower to Upper Devonian rocks of the southern zone, slip vectors, vergence and facing of D 1 folds indicate that the transport direction is to the north west. The northern zone, comprising Upper Devonian and lower Carboniferous strata, extends into central Devon and east Cornw~ll and the geometry and facing of the early folds in these rocks indicate a transport direction to the south or south east. Dl folds generally verge north but are downward facing towards the south. The two structural zones confront each other at an E-W trending line which passes through Cargreen to the north of Plymouth. The confrontation is interpreted as a northerly dipping backthrust produced by underthrusting of the Carboniferous foreland basin flysch deposits which become inverted and backthrust towards the south. The above sequence of events is dependent on a thin-skinned tectonic model and can be incorporated into the well established Early Carboniferous plate tectonic setting. Parameters indicating strike slip movement can also be incorporated within the envisaged thrust regime. These are thought to have been generated by differential movement related to the shape of the Variscan Front. The oblique trend of the Variscan Front to the regional transport direction observed in Southern Ireland, Wales and England, where it trends WNWESE, is thought to be a function of lateral buttressing against the Irish and LondonlBrabant Massifs during NW transport of thrust sheets. Re-mapping in the Plymouth area has also led to modifications of the Devonian stratigraphy and sedimentology of the Lower Devonian. The previously named Dartmouth Beds/Slates have been re-named the Dartmouth Group and comprise the Renney Rocks, Wembury, Yealm and Warren Formations. The latter pass upwards, by interdigitation, into the Meadfoot Group which in turn consists of the Bovisand and Staddon Grit Formations. Overlying the Meadfoot Group is the Plymouth Group which is divided into the Jennycliff Slate Formation, Plymouth Limestone Formation, Compton Slate Formation and the Saltram Slate Formation. The division of the previously named Plympton Formation into the two latter formations has allowed more control on structural mapping in the area north of Plymouth. The recognition of repeated stratigraphy and its further subdivision indicates that, due to thrusting, the sequences are much thinner than previously thought. The sedimentological character of the Dartmouth Group implies deposition in an alluvial setting and sub-environments include channels, sheetflow, overbank flow and lake deposition. Debris flows indicate that the area was periodically unstable. It is envisaged that deposition took place on a wet alluvial plain with rare drying out. The deposits probably represent a distal setting to the more proximal Old Red Sandstone alluvial deposits of South Wales. Higher up the sequence the Meadfoot Group records a major marine transgression across the area (Bovisand Formation) with a minor regressive pulse represented by the Staddon Grit Formation. The boundary conditions of these two formations has been examined and the sedimentology of this part of the sequence indicates the presence of a series of offshore bar forms. They are thought to represent mouth bar sequences related to the overlying deltaic sequence of the Staddon Grit Formation. Analysis of the onshore New Red Sandstone indicates the presence of a topographic high in the Start area. This local palaeogeographic detail can be related to the regional offshore Permian Basin form.

Abstract:
Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are rapidly developing computer systems for managing spatial data. This study used GIS techniques to analyse and visualize exploration geochemical data, to extract spatial information from Landsat images, gravity and aeromagnetic data and to model gold potential using logistic regression, weights of evidence, Dempster-Shafer and fuzzy logic methods. Regional exploration geochemical data from various data sets were represented using the catchment method. Experimental regression analyses for evaluating the influence of Fe-Mn scavenging effect and lithological variations show that zinc is most affected by these factors. The importance of anomalous catchments and dilution effect for zinc was also evaluated using mineralization rating and productivity methods. Soil samples collected in this study suggest that there is no base metal mineralization associated with gold at Whympston area, but limited anomalous haloes around the Loddiswell Mine. Lineaments were extracted from Landsat images using the objective lineament extraction and enhancement method. A shaded relief technique was used to enhance the variations of topographical, gravity and aeromagnetic data. Gravity and aeromagnetic data were also processed using second vertical derivative and reduction to the magnetic pole. Results show structural features possibly related to faults on the processed images and highlight highly elevated magnetic anomalies over the Kingsbridge area suggesting an association with possible unexposed hornblende schist related to the Start Complex. Both descriptive and conceptual models for gold occurrences were constructed, which were then correlated with results from the inductive and deductive modelling methods used. Logistic regression and weights of evidence methods have relatively good correlations with known gold occurrences and highlight the importance of felsite in the area. However, very low weights are related to binary patterns over the areas associated with unexposed gold potentials. Dempster-Shafer and fuzzy logic methods can overcome the shortcomings for incomplete data in data driven methods. These methods allow the inputting of weights (degree of belief and membership grade) from well documented mineral deposit models without any prior knowledge of gold mineralization in the area. The deficiency of deductive methods is that there are sometimes large discrepancies between the predicted favourable areas and known gold occurrences.

Malham, Albertine. "The classification and interpretation of tin smelting remains from South West England : a study of the microstructure and chemical composition of tin smelting slags from Devon and Cornwall, and the effect of technological developments upon the character of slags." Thesis, University of Bradford, 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/10454/4906.

Full text
Abstract:
Artefacts relating to tin smelting from tin mills or 'blowing houses' in Devon and Cornwall, plus material from smelting sites that cover a range of dates from the Bronze Age through to the 19th Century, were examined: these include metallic tin, furnace linings, ore samples and slag. Analysis of tin slags from over forty sites was carried out, to determine microstructure and chemical composition. Techniques employed included optical and scanning electron microscopy, X-ray fluorescence and ICP mass spectrometry. Analysis indicates that slag appearance and composition are heavily influenced by local geology. Composition, particularly iron content, is shown to have a strong effect on slag melting point and viscosity, and the implications for the purity of metal produced are discussed. Bringing together the evidence provided by slag chemistry, documentary sources and smelting remains in the archaeological record, changes in tin smelting technology through time, and the consequences thereof, are considered.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter explores how embodied ecological practices might stretch the space/time of teaching and learning in Higher Education, (re-)orienting students and teachers toward justice and solidarity. Inspired by Raja Shehadeh’s Palestinian Walks (2008) and recent initiatives by BIPOC and LGBTQ+ organisers to increase access to the land, we draw on experiences of facilitating encounters with the natural world in a Higher Education institution based in Devon, southwest England. While our journey begins with a walk designed to provide a break from the weight of study, unexpected ruptures open us to new modes of teaching and learning, connecting to each other and the land, and working toward material and epistemic decolonisation. Step by step, our story reveals how emergent educational futures might nourish political organising and extend the horizon/s of our work. By moving together through local woods, lanes and fields, we connect settler colonialism in Palestine/Israel with the (present-day) coloniality of Britain—in ways that insist on our accountability and action. Moving, breathing and sensing invite new forms of encounter and collectivity, which ground us in a broader ethic of care and sense of shared struggle. These ties, we suggest, are the roots of a decolonial feminist ecology.
