Jsut had this query... and had to confess I was under the impression that Primary fill was indeed that... the first etc...

Any smarty pants out there that can gainsay that?

heres the basic question:

Quote:quote:I assumed that a primary fill was (logically) the one stratigraphically following the cut in sequence. I am told that this is not necessarily so, and that there are also secondary and tertiary fills that also may not correlate with the second and third fills in sequence. Further information than this I could not obtain. What is the basic rundown on primary, secondary, and tertiary fills?

1st of May....

Happy day to you all

Some years ago now (more than I care to remember) I worked with the almost-legendary Jon Hall (he of the cartooning ability). I lost touch with him in the late 90s, but seem to recall seeing him on a T*me T**m special in Ely. Does anyone happen to know where he is, and how to get in touch with him?

You can always tell a Brummie... but you can't tell him much

report making recommendations to improve the pay and conditions for
archaeologists working in the UK.

Hi all,
I seem to recall a recent (or not so recent?) thread on here about a do it yourself guide to constructing a 3D laser scanner for making 3 dimensional images of artefacts.
I have been trying to find this thread, but have looked in vain...could someone point me to that information?
We're trying to set up a website for prehistoric chipped stone artefacts from the Levant and would like to look into this technology to exchange images etc.

Cheers

We had an enquiry from someone through the Past Horizons Tool Shop about how or where to buy a Krafse (Norwegian Digging Tool)

Gary Brun if you are reading this do you know of such a thing.

Given the recent...ahem... situation. I thought it might be interesting to discuss what it is that people want / expect from a professional organisation.

Free tickets to the cinema? A voice in parliament? accreditation? that sort of thing... :face-huh:

Please look at positive benefits ...

Dear BAJRites,

this is an announcement for a new archaeology journal, which may be of interest to the BAJR community.

Critical Archaeology is a new forthcoming archaeology e-journal to be distributed on the internet by the Groningen Institute of Archaeology. The aim of Critical Archaeology is to provide an open and accessible platform for critical comment and debate across all branches of the discipline.

It is an international journal with the aim to foster critical debates in archaeological practice and theory, heritage and the politics of the past in the present. We especially encourage critical, challenging and controversial papers dealing with selected aspects or wider issues pertaining to archaeology and related sub-fields.

The concept of Critical Archaeology entails to situate the journal between the fast moving world of the internet, as seen for example in blogs, and more traditional archaeological printed journals. Therefore, Critical Archaeology will be available only online, with articles available for download in pdf format.

Although the precise journal format is still being worked out, Critical Archaeology aims to publish two principal kinds of contributions:

- short opinion pieces and conference or book reviews of ca. 1-3 A4 pages in length;
- longer research papers of ca. 3-4000 words in length

Research papers will be subject to full peer-review, while shorter contributions will undergo editorial review.

We would welcome both individual contributions, as well as suggestions for thematic issues of Critical Archaeology.

Please check out our current blog at: http://critarch.blogspot.com/
or visit our Facebook group at: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=9570196513

Now there is no excuse for not knowing how to create, compile and understand Harris matrices. To celebrate 35 years of the invention of the matrix, the entire book is now a free download from Dr. Harris' own website. It is a whopping 38MB so non-broadband users might take a while...
