An Anglo-Saxon Decapitation and Burial at Stonehenge (2002)
Journal Article
Pitts, M., Bayliss, A., McKinley, J., Bylston, A., Budd, P., Evans, J., …Semple, S. (2002). An Anglo-Saxon Decapitation and Burial at Stonehenge. Wiltshire archaeological and natural history magazine (1982), 95, 131-146

Most of a human skeleton excavated at Stonehenge in 1923, believed destroyed in the London bombing of 1941, was re-located in 1999. New study of the bones shows them to represent a man of Anglo-Saxon era (not Neolithic or Roman as previously suggeste... Read More about An Anglo-Saxon Decapitation and Burial at Stonehenge.

Settlement and landscape development in the Homs Region, Syria: research questions, preliminary results 1999-2000 and future potential (2002)
Journal Article
Philip, G., Jabour, F., Beck, A., Bshesh, M., Grove, J., Kirk, A., & Millard, A. (2002). Settlement and landscape development in the Homs Region, Syria: research questions, preliminary results 1999-2000 and future potential. Levant, 34, 1-23

This report describes the results of the first and second seasons of field work by an interdisciplinary research team studying the landscape history of the upper Orontes Valley near Homs in western Syria. Initial discussions address the value of surv...

Low temperature magnetic characterisation of fire ash residues (2002)
Journal Article
Peters, C., Thompson, R., Harrison, A., & Church, M. (2002). Low temperature magnetic characterisation of fire ash residues. Physics and Chemistry of the Earth, Parts A/B/C, 27(31), 1355-1361. https://doi.org/10.1016/s1474-7065%2802%2900133-x

Fire ash is ideally suited to mineral magnetic studies. Both modern (generated by controlled burning experiments) and archaeological ash deposits have been studied, with the aim of identifying and quantifying fuel types used in prehistory. Low temper...

Palaeodietary patterning and radiocarbon dating of Neolithic populations in the Primorye Province, Russian Far East (2002)
Journal Article
Kuzmin, Y., Richards, M., & Yoneda, M. (2002). Palaeodietary patterning and radiocarbon dating of Neolithic populations in the Primorye Province, Russian Far East. Ancient biomolecules, 4(2), 53-58. https://doi.org/10.1080/1358612021000010695

Here, we report new radiocarbon dates and palaeodietary data (13C and 15N measurements) from human bone collagen of two Early Neolithic populations in Primorye (Maritime) Province, in the Russian Far East. We found that the coastal people of the Bois... Read More about Palaeodietary patterning and radiocarbon dating of Neolithic populations in the Primorye Province, Russian Far East.

Investigation of fire ash residues using mineral magnetism (2001)
Journal Article
Peters, C., Church, M., & Mitchell, C. (2001). Investigation of fire ash residues using mineral magnetism. Archaeological Prospection, 8(4), 227-237. https://doi.org/10.1002/arp.171

As part of a wider research programme of experimental archaeology at Calanais Farm, Isle of Lewis, Scotland, a number of experimental hearths were constructed, based on excavated evidence from the Late Iron Age houses at Bostadh, Lewis. Controlled an... Read More about Investigation of fire ash residues using mineral magnetism.

Saar and its External Relations : new evidence for interaction between Bahrain and Gujarat during the early Second Millennium BC (2001)
Journal Article
Carter, R. (2001). Saar and its External Relations : new evidence for interaction between Bahrain and Gujarat during the early Second Millennium BC. Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, 12(2), 183-201. https://doi.org/10.1034/j.1600-0471.2001.d01-5.x

The ceramics from the Early Dilmun site of Saar, Bahrain, are examined for evidence of interregional exchange. The commonest variety of imported material comprises Late Sorath Harappan pottery from Saurashtra, Gujarat. Small quantities of Mesopotamia...

Palaeopathological evidence of infectious disease in skeletal populations from later medieval Serbia (2001)
Journal Article
Djuric-Srejic, M., & Roberts, C. (2001). Palaeopathological evidence of infectious disease in skeletal populations from later medieval Serbia. International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, 11(5), 311-320. https://doi.org/10.1002/oa.570

Published data on palaeopathology are limited from the area of Serbia. This paper provides evidence for infectious disease in 1617 skeletons from eight Medieval Serbian cemeteries. Two hundred and three individuals were analysed by the first author a... Read More about Palaeopathological evidence of infectious disease in skeletal populations from later medieval Serbia.
