The applications of tephrochronology to the correlation of temporally similar yet spatially disjunct flora and fauna are discussed, using as examples recent work in Iceland and Kenya. The paucity of such studies is noted and its relevance to studies in palaeoecology and island biogeography commented upon.

This preliminary report on the environmental interpretation of an Early Medieval site beneath Lloyd’s Bank extension at the Pavement, York, say its authors, is designed ‘to draw the attention of archaeologists, particularly those working on urban sites, where areas and time for excavation are often restricted, to thegreat amount of information that can be gained from the study of even limited fauna andjora, when associated with pureij archaeological material.’ MY Buckland is a member of the York Archaeological Trust, Mr Grezg is in the Department of Botany, University of Birmingham, and Mr Kenward in the Department of Entomology, British Museum (Natural History).

This research is united by both geographical area, principally the Vale of York, and methodology, stressing the use of insect remains in interpreting archaeological environments. Firstly the Cover Sands of North Lincolnshire and the Vale of York are considered. A terminal Devensian age is suggested for the majority of this extensive aeolian deposition and evidence for mode of origin and palaeoenvironment is discussed, with particular regard to insect faunas from within the Sands at Flixborough and Messingham, near Scunthorpe. A brief examination of the nebulous Creswellian industry in relation to the Sands is followed by the study of Mesolithic and Neolithic artifacts from on top of the Cover Sands at Misterton Carr, Nottinghamshire, and the affinities of the earlier part of this assemblage are considered with some current archaeological models of the palaeoenvironment. The trackway beneath Thorne Moor provides an opportunity to examine a local Bronze Age environment and the problem...

The use of a wide range of narcotic drugs in antiquity has been widely documented, although archaeologists have sometimes been too credulous of apparently scientific data, and have failed to appreciate the post-excavation histories of artefacts, including mummies. This paper examines the discovery of tobacco in the mummy of Rameses II, provides an alternative model for its origin, as a 19th-century insecticide used in conservation, and throws doubt upon the evidence for both cannabis and cocaine in ancient Egypt.

What were the fine garments vividly painted in the Minoan frescoes made of? Fine cotton (cotton from Egypt is still prized today)? Or the yet finer fabric of silk? And if silk, where did the stuff, or knowledge of cultivating the silk-worms, come from? A cocoon from Santorini offers new evidence.
