The Vectis Report: a Survey of Isle of Wight Archaeology. By H. V. Basford

Warwick Castle is an important example of fourteenth-century castle-building but has seen little detailed survey or publication. This article succeeds Morris' account from 1986 of the south range, which originally contained the great hall and Earl's chamber suite; it publishes and analyzes three elaborate towers in the east range: the gatehouse and two at either end. These provided suites of rooms for guests and the principal members of the Earl's household as well as a magnificent approach and entrance front. The building shows the motives and ambitions of the Third Beauchamp Earl both as a practical design and as a centre from which to assert his power in the county and court.     

Settlement studies and the archaeological survey of North Norway — A discussion based on the survey of North Troms

By the end of the 1984 field season a systematic archaeological survey of the county of Troms was completed. At the same time a revision of the survey was started. The survey of Troms is part of a nation‐wide archaeological survey, connected with the production of an Economic Map of Norway. Though the validity of the methods and the results of this survey have been questioned, few attempts have been made at evaluating the archaeological data base produced by the survey. The current total revision of the survey makes this task even more urgent. The aim of this paper is to contribute towards such an evaluation, by utilizing the survey data from six North Troms municipalities in an attempt at constructing a history of settlement for this area.
