The area covered by the survey consists of geographical region which includs areas in both Spain and Portugal. The periods covered span from the Copper Period (2000 BC) to the late Roman Period (4th century AD). Extensive field survey which located and assessed surface evidence for cassiterite ore that was mined, smelted and used in bronze production in antiquity, is followed by laboratory analytical examination of collected samples of slags, metals and minerals using primarily SEM/EDS analysis.

This study reports on one of the largest and best dated assemblages of clay pipes recovered from the site of Port Royal in Jamaica. Many of the pipes came from Bristol and date to the 17th century AD. Recovered during excavations at Port Royal between 1981 and 1990, many of the pipes came from sealed contexts and their distribution could be mapped in detail. Georgia Fox's study discusses her methodology and the excavations, and includes a large catalogue and typology and raises questions and issues which are of relevance on a much wider scale for the study of clay pipes in Northwest Europe in general.

The recently excavated Epigravettian site of Grubgraben (Lower Austria) is of exceptional significance for understanding human adaptations during the last Glacial Maximum. An analysis of interassemblage variability reveals several local, organizational responses by hunter-gatherer systems to the return of severe ice-age conditions following a relatively mild climatic oscillation.

Detailed report on excavations at the Bronze Age site of El Castillo in south-western Spain. The aim was to study the subsistence economy and material culture of the Early Bronze Age. With descriptions of excavations, study of chronology, finds, human remains and palaeoeconomy.

The aim of this book is firstly to establish chronology of Later Stone Age settlement in Waterber plateau and secondly to investigate the particular influence of the Waterberg ecosystem on Later Stone Age settlement patterns and on the lifestyle of the inhabitants and their utilisation of resources of this area. Finally, the most complex study presented here is the study of the influence of the immigrant Iron Age farmers on the indigenous Later Stone Age hunter-gatherers.

The earliest recorded bridge across the Medway existed in the twelfth century and was abandoned in the fourteenth century. Flight studies the historical accounts of the bridge and some archaeological evidence to reconstruct its history and argue that it was constructed by the Romans, possibly in the 4th century.

Throughout the west of Scotland, recessed platforms have been discovered and recorded and 105 groups are known. Twenty years ago they were thought to have been used for making Charcoal for 19th-century iron furnaces. This new research argues that they were the foundations for wooden structures which were later reused, though their date remains unknown.
