Prospects and potential in the archaeology of Bronze Age Britain
This paper argues that although our discipline focuses increasingly on thematic research programmes, period-based approaches remain a valuable way of understanding the particularities of the social practices we study. Different aspects of the archaeological record – including settlement, burial, landscape and material culture – are examined in turn to identify a series of possible questions for future research.
Information, Interaction and Society

Bronze Age pottery and settlements in southern England
What we need to do. Doctoral research involving artefact corpora appears to be unfashionable.

The Coinage of Rues
The aim of this study is to re-examine the earlier work on this series, and to offer an alter- native interpretation of the enigmatic RVES/RVIIS legend. It will seek to establish the likely phasing of the different issues relative to Tasciovanos’s main series, and in the process examine potential models, both classical and Celtic, which may have inspired the iconography of these coins.

Weapons and Warfare in Early Iron Age Thessaly
The aim of this paper is to examine all the archaeological evidence regarding weapons in Early Iron Age Thessaly.
