Excavation of a Medieval Bridge at Waltham Abbey,Essex, in 1968

THE single-arch bridge over the lower mill stream at Waltham Abbey was excavated in advance of roadworks. The bridge had three double-chamfered ribs set skew to the abutments. The springers were of Caen stone; the ribs and ashlar facing of the abutments were of Kentish ragstone. The abutments were set on oak sill-plates and staggered rows of elm piles. Bank revetting and coffer-dam timbers were also found. The bridge is compared with the near-by single-arch Stony Bridge. A mid 14th-century date is established by dendrochronology. Documentary study has enabled phases in the development of the watercourse system to be postulated.

The Early History of Abingdon,Berkshire, and its Abbey

IN THE LAST decade knowledge of Salin's Style I Ornament in East Scandinavia has increased through the studies of Erä-Esko and through the remarkable finds at a workshop site at Helgö in Uppland. A characteristic feature of East Scandinavian Style I is the frequent use of small ornamental fields bordered by high ridges. In this article it is suggested that the ridges served to canalize the heat of the melted bronze during casting, and so prevent the mould from cracking. This was specially important in East Scandinavia where high-tempered bronze seems chiefly to have been used. That the fragility of the moulds was a real problem is hinted at by the relative numbers found at Helgö. The majority are for casting relief-brooches—which are comparatively rarely found cast. There are fewer moulds for the more frequently found cast bronzes, such as clasp-buttons; because the moulds for these were smaller, they were probably less prone, to damage during casting.

Because of the small size of their ornamental fields and the extensive corrosion which characterizes the bronzes found in East Scandinavia the ornament has often been misunderstood and described as highly degenerate. Through the systematic work of Erä-Esko we now know that East Scandinavian Style I was highly developed and deliberate. The rich finds from Helgö when fully interpreted will probably emphasize further the international character of this style. This appears of greater importance when it is realized that the style seems to have flourished at a time immediately preceding the Vendel period, which is specially rich in East Scandinavia.

A programme for the conservation of architectural plasters in earthen ruins in the American Southwest: Fort Union National Monument,New Mexico,USA

Abstract

Plasters constitute an important component of many ruined architectural and archaeological sites. Methods for their in situ conservation have lagged far behind the field treatment of other materials due to their ephemeral nature and the lack of programmatic laboratory and field research. A preservation strategy involving documentation, stabilization, interpretation and maintenance offers a methodological approach adaptable to most contexts. A pilot conservation programme is described for the stabilization and interpretation of the lime plasters within the nineteenth-century adobe ruins of Fort Union National Monument in New Mexico. Methods of documentation, emergency stabilization, injection hydraulic lime grouting and mortar repairs are described.     

河北涞水渐村遗址发掘报告

<正> 渐村属石亭乡,南距涞水县城12公里(图一)。遗址位于村北0.5公里的台地上,由于修公路,遗址的东部已被破坏,从现存遗址东部的断崖上可以发现断续的文化层和灰坑,地面散布陶片,地势西北高,东南较低,文化层的下面便是页岩。1987年3月,保北考古队对其进行了发掘,由于遗址大部分已被破坏,而且现存文化层亦不连贯,故所布探方和探沟比较分散。这次发掘,开5×5m探方七个(T3—8、11),2×5m探沟二条(T9、10),3×6.75M探方一个(T1),4×1.5m探沟一条(T12),2×10m探沟一条(T2),发掘面积为242平方米。     

河南巩义市黄冶窑址发掘简报

Lady Gregory's The Gaol Gate,Terence MacSwiney and the Abbey Theatre

In September 1920, a French translation of Lady Gregory's 1906 play The Gaol Gate was staged in a Parisian drawing room. The play's original setting outside the gate of Galway Gaol was transferred to Mountjoy Prison at a time of republican hunger strikes. The drama's central character of Denis Cahel – refusing to inform on his neighbours and hanged as a consequence – gained contemporary currency with Terence MacSwiney's hunger strike and impending death as both men had turned their bodies into a political tool. With a focus on the concept of the political body, this article illustrates the power of The Gaol Gate by tracing the play's provenance and production history, demonstrating its flexibility through performance in a particular historical context.     

遗址博物馆内土遗址本体可溶盐和霉菌危害预防与治理的进展

在博物馆建筑的保护下,尽管避除了由于风蚀、雨淋、日晒等有害因素所导致的土遗址裂隙、崩塌等病害现象,但是可溶盐迁移及霉菌滋生导致的表层风化等一系列危害会造成土遗址本体破坏和信息损失 ,所以进行这方面的研究尤其重要且迫切。本文主要综述了可溶盐、霉菌的破坏作用、产生原因、影响因素、防治措施等,并探讨了遗址博物馆内土遗址防治可溶盐及霉菌危害的可行性保护研究方法。
