SUMMARY This paper will examine the process of urban transformation from convict to free settlement, through an analysis of the early convict landscape at Parramatta (1789–1841), the second British settlement in New South Wales. We draw together archaeological and historical sources to consider the patterns of change which occurred both at individual ‘convict hut’ sites, as well as within the broader landscape. This paper examines the ways in which landscape, architecture and space were used initially to create and support a society based upon unfree labour, and how the process of emancipation, where convicts transitioned into free settlers, found a material expression at Parramatta.

SUMMARY The United Kingdom’s National Memorial Arboretum, in Staffordshire, England, contains a memorial to the 306 British and Commonwealth soldiers who were shot at dawn during the First World War for desertion and/or cowardice. The location of the ‘Shot at Dawn Memorial’ within the Arboretum’s living archaeological landscape reveals ambiguities and tensions between the memorial’s physical location, its prominent role in site interpretation and the nature of memorialization of one of the most emotionally charged sequences of events in the First World War.

going into some depth about the context and operation of different periods of investigation of Sheffield Castle and some of the individuals involved, as well as covering the site’s relationship tomore recent community archaeology initiatives. It sits alongside an online archive hosted by the Archaeology Data Service (ADS) that allows readers to engage directly with some of the material resulting from historic work on the site: (https:// archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/archives/view/sheffieldcastle_uos_2020/). The extensive ‘Acknowledgements’ section is well worth looking over just to understand the effort over many years that has gone into this publication and appreciate the number of people who have been involved in the project. It’s easy enough to get the feeling that Sheffield Castle represents a key moment in the archaeology of Sheffield, especially poignant given the University’s recent decision to close down their archaeology department. After an introductory chapter setting out the known history of Sheffield Castle, Chapters 2 and 3 focus on the earlier 20th century work of Leslie Armstrong and Joseph B. Himsworth, who observed and recorded parts of the former castle that were uncovered during construction work on the castle site. Chapter 2 looks at recording methods, and the differences between the Armstrong and Himsworth archives, while Chapter 3 provides an interpretation of the site based on their work. Chapters 5 and 6 look at the mid-20th-century work of Leslie Butcher, whose fantastic recording work on site enabled finds to be considered within their stratigraphic contextfor the first time, but has also enabled reinterpretation of the earlier work of Armstrong and Himsworth. Butcher’s isometric drawings (e.g. Fig 5.31) are a highlight of the book. Chapter 7 covers the finds on the site and Chapter 8 discusses the more recent work on the site by ARCUS, a period of work whose main protagonists will be well known to many UK archaeologists. Chapter 9 widens the discussion to include the ‘lordly landscape’ of a nearby medieval deer park and hunting lodge. The excellent Chapter 10, ‘The Persistence of Place’, looks at how Sheffield Castle has remained present since its demolition in the 17th century, through street names, community projects and so on. It serves as a fascinating example of the ways that buried archaeology can have real impact on the above-ground world, the daily lives of a city and its inhabitants. The associated archive is a great partner to the published book, featuring site diaries, photographs, lecture notes and archaeological from across Sheffield Castle’s time as a site of archaeological interest. It’s well worth spending some time on the material contained within it and not solely cross-referencing from the book. Sheffield Castle is a very good publication on its own terms, but I hope it will inspire other towns and cities to pull together similar publication-archive hybrids where information is currently spread across

SUMMARY: In a paper in the 2020 issue of Post-Medieval Archaeology Carter Hudgins and Eric Klingelhofer made the case for late 16th-century occupation of the Medieval monastery of Molana by the Elizabethan scientist Thomas Harriot. This present paper considers the evidence they put forward and offers a different interpretation. It is argued here that alterations to the masonry at Molana can mostly be attributed either to maintenance during the active life of the monastery, or to embellishments carried out in the 19th century. The evidence for post-Dissolution occupation of the site is slight, is limited to the church, and is interpreted as 18th-century reuse for religious worship.

SUMMARY: Copper alloy fittings depicting a plumed knight’s helmet have recently begun showing up among Scandinavian metal detector finds. Museum parallels suggest that they belong to carriage harness and date from the early nineteenth century. At this time the nobility lost ancient privileges, craft guilds were abolished, steam power was being harnessed and literary Romanticism focused attention on the Middle Ages and imagined knightly virtues.

For its fifth edition, our overview of global postmedieval/historical archaeology takes a slightly different format, with a curated set of articles about the Baltic states. An introduction by Erki Russow provides an excellent context interweaving the connected histories and archaeologies of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Readers of our previous overviews will notice similar themes of colonialism and war in this year’s edition: in many ways it demonstrates the exciting progress our discipline has made in addressing these major topics on a global scale. If you are a historical/post-medieval archaeologist from a non-English speaking country and would like to provide an overview of the state of later-period archaeology in your part of the world, please contact Eric Tourigny or Sarah Newstead.
