British Archaeology, No 26, July 1997: Features
An article by Andrew Chamberlain from british archaeology discussing Paleolithic mortuary practices in Great Britain.
http://www.britarch.ac.uk/ba/ba26/ba26feat.html#cavern

Extractions: For most of prehistory, people buried their dead in caves. Andrew Chamberlain reports Natural caves - dark, damp, often inhospitable places - might not appeal today as sites for burying the dead. Yet for much of prehistory, caves, fissures and rock shelters seem to have been favoured burial places in Britain and elsewhere. Many of the earliest hominid remains in Britain have been found in caves - such as the Neanderthal bones from Pontnewydd in North Wales, dating from c 225,000BC - suggesting the practice of cave burial is as old as humankind. Since the last Ice Age ended about 10,000 years ago, people appear to have been continuously buried in caves right up to the Iron Age and Romano-British period, with a single apparent gap in the Late Mesolithic between c 5900-3900BC, when no cave burials have been found. A recent programme of radiocarbon dates on human bones from caves suggests the practice was most common in the Neolithic. After c 3900BC - the start of the Neolithic period - the numbers of people buried in caves increased dramatically, just at the time when people began also to be buried in monuments such as chambered tombs and long barrows. In all, at least 256 individual Neolithic burials have been found in 70 caves in Britain, dated either directly or by association with Neolithic artefacts.

Extractions: The first farmers may have grown barley to brew ale. Merryn Dineley reports Our traditional view of the Neolithic is that it was the period in which people first learned to grow cereal crops, such as barley, in order to make bread and porridge. In a recent article in British Archaeology , however, the archaeological scientist Mike Richards wrote that, on the evidence of bone analysis, meat was more important than grain in the British Neolithic diet ( `First farmers with no taste for grain' , March). He postulated an animal-based Neolithic economy, but pointed nevertheless to the evidence for small-scale grain production. This grain, he suggested, was grown for ritual purposes - but he hazarded no guesses as to what these rituals actually involved. Might the grain have been grown, in fact, for brewing ? And might ale have been a significant part of these rituals? My research suggests that brewing could well have been an important part of British Neolithic domestic and ritual life. We know that the Sumerians were making ale in the 3rd millennium BC and that the Egyptians were fermenting date wine and ale at a similar time. The Sumerians had a goddess of brewing, Ninkasi, and a tablet inscribed with a verse singing her praises has been found at Nippur, dated to c 1800BC. It seems to describe Sumerian brewing methods; and this `recipe' was followed by Solomon Katz and Fritz Maytag of the Anchor Breweries of California in 1991, producing a drinkable and effective brew that was aptly called `Ninkasi'. More recently, Scottish and Newcastle Breweries, in association with researchers from Cambridge University, made Tutankhamun Ale, again a drinkable and sweet brew.

British Archaeology, No 20, December 1996: Interview
Interview in british archaeology December 1996 with the Professor of Archaeology at Reading and noted British prehistorian.
http://www.britarch.ac.uk/ba/ba20/ba20int.html

Extractions: Simon Denison talks to Richard Bradley Few figures in archaeology command such respect as Richard Bradley, Professor of Archaeology at Reading. In a close-knit but sometimes catty discipline, he tends to be praised in superlatives. Colleagues have described him to me as `a real live wire', `a genius', and `the best British prehistorian for 20 years'. Moreover, these and other compliments have come unsolicited, suggesting he is as much liked as admired. So it was with some curiosity that I went to meet this man with such a reputation. What would he be like face to face? And would I end up writing hagiography? We met at his home, a modest Victorian terraced house in east Oxford. I saw him before he saw me, sitting by his front window, arms on his arm-rests, looking into the room - just waiting. I waved, and he ushered me in, a pullovered professor, to the same spot by the window. It was a darkish room, the bright November afternoon light cut out (`quite deliberately,' he said) by a thicket of bushes outside. We sat facing one another on wicker chairs amid sparse furnishings - a couple of sofas, a few small Victorian prints and paintings on the wall, some half-empty bookshelves, a single ceiling light, and a miniature TV on a tall stand. Whereas some interviewees relish putting their lives on show, and point out this and that in their homes, Richard Bradley seemed tense and apprehensive. His answers were full and direct, always helpful, but remained answers to questions - as in a job interview - rather than one half of a relaxed conversation. For this private, and probably not overly self-confident man, I suspect the meeting was a minor ordeal. Nonetheless, we got on to archaeology, and he talked fast and excitedly in a highish voice. His hands and eyebrows were always on the move; and time and again, apropos of nothing in particular, he grinned at me mid-sentence, mid-exposition, as if to help me along. His bubbling enthusiasm is his most obvious and appealing characteristic.

British Archaeology, No 26, July 1997: Interview
Interview in british archaeology July 1997 with the groundbreaking fabric analyst and author of the standard textbook on church archaeology.
http://www.britarch.ac.uk/ba/ba26/ba26int.html

Extractions: Simon Denison talks to Warwick Rodwell The genesis of this interview was a letter that Warwick Rodwell, distinguished church archaeologist and historic buildings adviser, sent me in December last year. He wrote, apropos of something or other: Some people tend to accumulate more junk than others. Although we now live in an 18-room vicarage, with coach house, redundant church and former school in the grounds, they are all full up! To quote Gilbert Scott, we are `rammed, jammed, and crammed', but still collecting . . . I admit it. Most of the interviews in this series try to be at least vaguely topical, but this one was driven by pure curiosity. You might expect, or hope, a buildings adviser would live somewhere interesting himself; but a church and a school as well? That's pretty rare. So it was off to Somerset for lunch at the Rodwells' Regency vicarage, surrounded by tall dark trees dripping after heavy rain. Victorian in feel, the vicarage is a busy, multi-patterned place of striking interior design, full of Baroque furniture, re-used Church masonry, gilded plasterwork, clocks, candelabra, curiosities of all sorts. Warwick Rodwell, immensely relaxed and welcoming, tells me over sherry that he has been a collector most of his life, developing collector's luck at an early age. He points to a Roman glass jug he swopped as a schoolboy (probably for a couple of gobstoppers and a comic); a possible Minoan bronze bull's head he spotted in a box of junk; a pair of candlesticks that turned out to have been designed by Pugin . . . The list goes on. Most things in the house are from small-town auctions, junk-shops and skips - haunts of the enthusiast, not of the wealthy.
