A multi-proxy study of Holocene lake development, lake settlement and vegetation history in central Ireland (2005)
Journal Article
Selby, K., O'Brien, C., Brown, A., & Stuijts, I. (2005). A multi-proxy study of Holocene lake development, lake settlement and vegetation history in central Ireland. Journal of Quaternary Science, 20(2), 147-168. https://doi.org/10.1002/jqs.891

Stratigraphical investigations, geomorphological mapping, and diatom, plant macro-fossil and pollen analyses were undertaken in and around two lakes in central Ireland to establish correlations between changes in lake conditions and catchment vegetat...

Soil erosion and valley fills in the Yemen highlands and southern Turkey: Integrating settlement, geoarchaeology, and climate change (2005)
Journal Article
Wilkinson, T. (2005). Soil erosion and valley fills in the Yemen highlands and southern Turkey: Integrating settlement, geoarchaeology, and climate change. Geoarchaeology, 20(2), 169-192. https://doi.org/10.1002/gea.20042

Geoarchaeological studies of valley-fill sequences frequently do not employ the full range of human activities to explain the causes of deposition. This paper shows how records of environmental change from ocean cores and relict lakes can be integrat...

Excavations at the Lower Palaeolithic Site at Elveden, Suffolk (2005)
Journal Article
Ashton, N., Lewis, S., Parfitt, S., Candy, I., Keen, D., Kemp, R., …White, M. (2005). Excavations at the Lower Palaeolithic Site at Elveden, Suffolk. Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society, 71, 1-61

The Lower Palaeolithic site at Elveden, Suffolk, was the subject of new excavations from 1995–1999. Excavations around the edge and in the centre of the former clay-pit revealed sediments infilling a lake basin that had formed in Lowestoft till, over...

The Tiber Valley Project: The Role of GIS and Databases in Field Survey Data Integration and Analysis (2005)
Journal Article
Kay, S., & Witcher, R. (2005). The Tiber Valley Project: The Role of GIS and Databases in Field Survey Data Integration and Analysis. Archeologia e calcolatori (Testo stampato), 16, 113-127

Information Technology is at the heart of the Tiber Valley Project, from the integration, storage and analysis of data, through project management to the visualization and dissemination of results. Here, some of the ongoing applications of this techn... Read More about The Tiber Valley Project: The Role of GIS and Databases in Field Survey Data Integration and Analysis.

The other side of Sheba: early towns in the highlands of Yemen (2005)
Journal Article
Wilkinson, T. (2005). The other side of Sheba: early towns in the highlands of Yemen. Bibliotheca orientalis (Printed), 62(1-2), 5-14. https://doi.org/10.2143/bior.62.1.2011714

In contrast to the arid interior of Arabia, the Yemen highlands are remarkably well watered and verdant. Despite these advantages, until the 1990s this vast area of mountains and intermontane basins had largely escaped the attention of archaeologists...

Pigs of the ‘Far West’: the biometry of Sus from archaeological sites in Portugal (2005)
Journal Article
Albarella, U., Davis, S., Detry, C., & Rowley-Conwy, P. (2005). Pigs of the ‘Far West’: the biometry of Sus from archaeological sites in Portugal. Anthropozoologica, 40(2), 27-54

The main purpose of this study is to outline the osteometric variation of Sus from the Neolithic to the present day in Portugal.We start by focussing upon two important Chalcolithic sites —Zambujal and Leceia— with their abundant collections of suid...

Spatial relationships, dating and taphonomy of the human bone from the Mesolithic site of Cnoc Coig, Oronsay, Argyll, Scotland (2005)
Journal Article
