An article on dovecotes by Klara Spandl in british archaeology, with references and a list of dovecotes open to the public.
http://www.britarch.ac.uk/ba/ba35/ba35feat.html

Extractions: ISSN 1357-4442 Editor: Simon Denison FEATURES Dovecotes survive all over Britain. Klara Spandl explains what can still be seen Go to many villages in Britain and behind at least one garden wall or within a field or farmyard there will be a small round, square or rectangular building which can be identified as a dovecote. Today dovecotes form picturesque buildings in the landscape, but once they served a practical function, providing housing for an important part of the household diet. Young doves or pigeons (squabs) supplied fresh meat throughout the year, while older birds were mainly used to lay eggs, with some culling occurring before winter. The birds were also bred for their manure, and in the 16th and 17th centuries for saltpetre - a component of dung - which was used to make gunpowder. The earliest use of dovecotes in Britain may have been in the Roman period - although no certain examples are known of that date. It is known that the Romans kept doves and not only do recipes survive (in the work of Apicius) but also recommendations (in Varro) that the squabs' legs should be broken to restrict movement in their nests and make them even more tender to eat. The traditional view, however, is that dovecotes were introduced by the Normans. The earliest known examples of dove-keeping occur in Norman castles of the 12th century (for example, at Rochester Castle, Kent, where nest-holes can be seen in the keep), and documentary references also begin in the 12th century. The earliest surviving, definitely-dated free-standing dovecote in this country was built in 1326 at Garway in Herefordshire (there is a date-stone), although others exist where an earlier date has been claimed. During the medieval period large dovecotes were built on manors, at castles and monasteries. The right to build a dovecote was traditionally reserved to the lord of the manor, and was presumably much resented by tenant farmers as the lord's doves could eat their weight in corn every day.

Extractions: British Archaeology There are a relatively small number of local finds acquired from the late 19th century onwards and items from local excavations of Mesolithic to Post-Medieval date. Since the 1880's gifts of materials from British sites and some purchases have formed the basis of this collection in order to provide in displays an overall view of British archaeology and a context in which to elucidate the local material. The bequest in 1883 of the contents of the Silverdale Museum formed by James Murton added objects from mid 19th century excavations in Warwickshire, Kent and elsewhere, mainly of Roman and Medieval date. In 1888 the purchase of the contents of the Castleton Museum belonging to J Rooke Pennington, who was a solicitor in Bolton, resulted in the acquisition of Neolithic, Bronze Age and Roman material from Derbyshire and other sites and an important series of bone material and human artifacts from Derbyshire caves. In 1903 a series of flint tools from Pengelley's work (1865-1880) at Kent's Cavern, Devon was obtained by purchase. Roman material from Cirencester and flints from Northfleet, Kent, were donated in 1914, and sherds of pottery from a Medieval kiln at Cheam, Surrey were given in 1924. In 1948 part of the collection of George Sandy of Stafford came to the Museum, comprising flint tools of Palaeolithic, Neolithic and Bronze Age date from well-known British and some European sites. In 1949 the Museum received a portion of the mainly Neolithic and Bronze Age flint implements, collected by John Hassall, the poster artist, from the raised beach at Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex.

http://www.britarch.ac.uk/ba/ba53/ba53feat.html#evans

Extractions: ISSN 1357-4442 Editor: Simon Denison FEATURES Mike Parker Pearson recalls the site that revealed the religious significance of water in later prehistoric Britain The years of the Second World War were a curiously productive period for archaeology in Britain. The famous Anglo-Saxon treasures of Sutton Hoo were hastily dug out in the months before war broke out, and `rescue archaeology' - the emergency excavation of construction sites - was born in the work carried out by WF Grimes on new defence installations all around Britain. Few wartime discoveries, however, proved to be as dramatic or far-reaching as the chance finds made by RAF engineers building a remote airfield in North Wales in 1942. RAF Valley, near Llanfihangel-yn-Nhowyn on Anglesey, was built over the former lake of Llyn Cerrig Bach, and the finds were made when engineers began digging out sediments from the lake to stabilise sand dunes and level the ground surface. In amongst the heaps of peat they noticed iron weapons and chains. In July 1943 the director of the National Museum of Wales, Sir Cyril Fox, received a letter from RAF Valley's resident engineer informing him of the finds. Fox visited for two days in August and arrangements were made to ship the material to the National Museum, a task which was finally completed in 1945. Despite wartime secrecy

British Archaeology, No 7, September 1995: Interview
Interview in british archaeology September 1995 with the Director of the successful York Archaeological Trust and retiring President of the CBA.
http://www.britarch.ac.uk/ba/ba7/ba7int.html

Extractions: Simon Denison talks to Peter Addyman If the presidency of the CBA had a formal `job description', it might read something like this: massively time-consuming work, much of it at weekends, endless travelling to represent the CBA as advocate, conciliator, enthusiast and guide; payment, nil; thanks, occasional; pleasure, potential; prestige, enormous. Sounds fun? Perhaps not. But Peter Addyman, who retires as President this month, has carried out the task with diligence and - he insists - great enjoyment for the past three years. There are many at the CBA, aware of the burden of work he has voluntarily taken on, who will be sorry to see him go. Peter Addyman's `real job' is at the York Archaeological Trust, which he set up, and has directed, since 1972. The Trust is one of the most commercially innovative of Britain's professional units, and visitors are treated with a kind of smart business panache: we met there on one of the hottest days of the year, and out came the strawberries and sparkling elderflower cordial no instant coffee for guests at this unit! Peter Addyman is canny and circumspect, naturally reticent about his feelings and private life, and aware of the fact that too much heart-searching in front of a journalist may not always do oneself, or one's organisation, any favours. His answers are often indirect - he tells you what he wants you to know - which makes him somewhat perplexing to interview. So to an extent one has to read between the lines.

Extractions: 15 September 1998 A major new resource for archaeology in the UK is launched today (15 September) when the Archaeology Data Service unveils its online catalogue at a celebration at the University of York. The site's address is http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/catalogue/ Using the latest computer technology, the ADS catalogue makes information about archaeology rapidly available to anyone with Internet access. For the first time ever, this online catalogue makes it possible to locate similar archaeology sites across the English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh borders. So if you've ever wanted to know where all the Roman sites are in Britain, you now have a place to begin your search. The catalogue contains images of excavations and artefacts, maps of key sites and prehistoric landscapes, and virtual reality reconstructions of the past. It also contains key databases of artefacts and scientific data, and details of archaeological collections which are held by numerous different bodies, including local authorities and museums. The online catalogue uses sophisticated technology based on a network of databases - all using different software and different computers - around the country and abroad. It is one of the first cultural heritage applications of the technology developed for exchanging information quickly and efficiently.

http://www.britarch.ac.uk/cba/..\educate\conf01.html

Extractions: Archaeology and education CBA conference, 13-16 September 2001 This conference (supported by English Heritage and the Learning and Teaching Support Network) is aimed at all who are interested in archaeology and education. It will cover the whole educational range from work with schools to higher and adult continuing education. The sessions at the conference will cover examples of current good practice, as well as issues and themes that could be of interest in making archaeological education more relevant for the 21st century. A key issue to be explored at the conference will be the purpose of teaching archaeology. It is increasingly evident that the study of the past needs to highlight its relevance and utility to todays society. The government is currently using the notion of social inclusion to tie together many aspects of its work, including education. It is this which supports the development of new agendas in education like citizenship and sustainable development. Archaeology has an important part to play in enhancing quality of life and supporting social inclusion. There will be specific sessions addressing this theme at the conference, along with examples of good practice. There will also be plenary sessions devoted to particular educational sectors, ie 5-14 education, 14+ education (GCSE, A level etc), full-time and part-time university education on Friday and Saturday mornings. Networks of tutors in further, higher and continuing education will also have the chance to meet and discuss issues of common concern on Saturday morning. Other workshops will also be relevant to the concerns of various sectors.

Extractions: AVEBURY, England Terence Meaden arrived late and breathless, his plans muddled and his glasses askew, having forgotten the time of our appointment and neglected to bring the number to my cell phone. He had come to show us the prehistoric stones and barrows of Avebury but, with his deep knowledge and absent-minded charm, he seemed the model of modern British eccentricity. He cast a worried eye toward the weather. The sun was shining, a fairly rare event in the winter, but clouds were looming. Certain rock formations were best viewed in sunlight, he said. In anticipation of afternoon gloom, we would have to forgo his usual chronological tour and work with the elements. But where to start, where to start?
