ABSTRACT In 1877, a hoard of nine copper alloy objects was recovered from a peat bog at Poolewe, Scotland, including axeheads, rings and an ornament. For the first time since its discovery, this article publishes the hoard in its entirety, including an assessment of typological features, full illustration and metallurgical analysis. Components of the hoard are characteristic of the British Llyn Fawr/Earliest Iron Age period (800–600 BC) suggesting the date of deposition, which is confirmed by a radiocarbon date from the wooden haft of an axehead. However, set in the broader context of Scotland and Britain during this period, it is suggested that this hoard in fact represents the last vestiges of the Late Bronze Age hoarding practice in Scotland.

ABSTRACT Several major issues remain around the eastern end of Hadrian’s Wall, due partly to the dense urban fabric of Tyneside. These concern the spacing of the interval structures in the first seven Wall miles, the course of the mural barrier in Newcastle, the purpose of the Roman bridge over the river Tyne (Pons Aelius) and the original eastern terminus of the Wall. This paper retraces the anchor points of our knowledge before zooming in to examine the Wall’s northern approach of the Tyne bridge and considering a possible new departure. Seeing the crucial role of river crossings in determining not just the line of the Wall but also the successive work sectors, the question is raised how far the Wall on Tyneside may originally have been planned to mirror the situation in the west. Before long, however, the project was overhauled, and effectively redesigned, in consequence of the so-called ‘fort decision’ and all the related changes, one of them concerning the Wall’s eastern terminus. Understanding the infancy of Roman Britain’s mural barrier requires exploring the eventful context in which this imperial prestige project took shape, got mixed up conceptually and was set right again around AD 122.

ABSTRACT At the beginning of the thirteenth century a planted development was established outside the gates of the Augustinian Priory at Barnwell, Cambridge. Although dislocated from the urban core by a kilometre of open fields, the new settlement nevertheless expanded rapidly; by the close of the thirteenth century, it housed almost one-sixth of the town’s overall population and had attained the legal status of a suburb. Utilising a combination of archaeological evidence and historical sources, the settlement’s origins, development and wider context are explored. In particular, its ‘suburban’ character is examined via a comparison of patterns of refuse disposal undertaken at a variety of sites situated elsewhere across Cambridge and its hinterland. Despite its early success, during the fifteenth century Barnwell’s population began to decline. The settlement’s diminution continued into the post-medieval period, until the area was eventually transformed via intensive speculative development into Cambridge’s largest nineteenth-century suburb.

ABSTRACT Trade and connectivity are generally considered at a high level and large scale, where as the productive industries which often fed exchange networks, have tended to be examined at a more intimate scale. The two milieus cannot exist in isolation from each other, but the articulation between the two has generally evaded consideration. This examination of Poole Harbour, Dorset during the Late Iron Age provides an example of a cluster of productive industries linked to regional and international trade networks providing the potential to consider those links. The picture which is provided is of complexity at local level rather than any overarching control or direction in production, and networks which coalesced over time from the personal actions and activity of individuals.
