Provider: - Institution: - Data provided by Europeana Collections- Archaeological earthwork survey and excavation was undertaken by Northamptonshire Archaeology on land at College Road North, Aston ...Clinton, Buckinghamshire, between November 2011 and February 2012. An area of late Iron Age/Romano-British settlement was located on a slight ridge of ground situated adjacent to natural ponds and marshy ground. There seemed to have been a short-lived attempt at cultivation, perhaps a vineyard, in the early Roman period, but this was quickly abandoned. Settlement was subsequently focussed on the slight ridge and comprised multiple enclosures arranged around the ponds. A possible rectangular timber building was constructed in the 1st or 2nd centuries AD. A number of burials and cremations dated to the 1st and 2nd centuries and included three examples of decapitation.- All metadata published by Europeana are available free of restriction under the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication.

Provider: - Institution: - Data provided by Europeana Collections- Archaeological and building recording was undertaken at Insworke Tide Mill, Millbrook, Cornwall (SX42899 52440) in 2010-11. Two date ...stones of 1598 and 1861 survive. Remains exist of four sluices in the 16th century Basement, three of which probably held waterwheels each driving a single pair of millstones. Documentary evidence and a precise tree ring date of 1799-1800 proved that the mill was rebuilt on top of the Basement in 1800-1801. In 1800 there were three waterwheels, one driving two pairs of French stones and grinding wheat for flour; a second for the barley mill, producing animal feed; a third wheel drove the sack hoist and the bolting mills which separated fine flour from meal. Two waterwheels are recorded in the 20th century each driving two pairs of millstones which were probably set up on hurst frames standing on the ground floor, not at first floor level. Eight discarded millstones on site date from the 18th and 19th century. Two granite centres, of Cornish type, come from composite millstones which would have used imported French burr stone for the grinding faces. An Extension added to the north end of the mill dates to 1861. Milling had stopped by 1914 and the machinery was removed in the late 1930s. The sluice openings in the outer walls were then blocked up with re-cycled 16th and 18thC dressed stones. The Basement was filled to ground floor level with brickworks clinker and floored over with concrete. In the 20th century the building was used by the Millbrook Steamboat Company and for boat repairs.

The monograph by A.N. Sarapulov is positively evaluated in this review.The agricultural features of the Perm Cis-Urals medieval population in the VII-XV centuries AD are studied in the book. The ...author has systemized all the archaeological sources on the topic: tillage tools, harvest and processing tools, as well as grain storage constructions. Issues that provide the data on reconstruction of agricultural system and analysis the origin of arable agriculture in the region are of particular interest.
Provider: - Institution: - Data provided by Europeana Collections- .Two areas were subject to open area excavation in 2006-07. An isolated middle Bronze Age pit containing a set of cylindrical ...loomweights lay to the north-east, within Site 2. At Site 1, a scatter of gullies and pits date to the middle/late Iron Age. A square enclosure, with a deep ditch, was created in the late Iron Age (1st century BC) and remained in use to the md-1st century AD. There may have been a sequence of entrance structures in the south-east corner and an outer ditch system, perhaps to hold a timber palisade, enclosed the western half of the enclosure. Internal features included a stock pen and a drainage gully adjacent to the ditch on the lowest side, but no evidence survived to indicate the location of a roundhouse. The enclosure produced a substantial assemblage of late Iron Age pottery, including wheel-finished vessels spanning the transition to the early Roman period, when activity was limited to a scatter of pits lying immediately outside the enclosure, some containing kiln furniture. The site was probably abandoned at around 70AD. At Site 2, a curving boundary ditch is dated to the early Roman period (mid 1st to early 2nd centuries AD), although an origin in the late Iron Age may be suspected. By the early 2nd century AD, there was a new system of boundaries, comprising a droveway running into possible stock control paddocks. An adjacent domestic enclosure, containing at least two roundhouses, formed a low status native farmstead, probably dominated by pastoral farming. A new enclosure, containing a rectangular timber building, was constructed in the early 3rd century, and the droveway was made narrower. The enclosures had been abandoned by the end of the 3rd century AD.- All metadata published by Europeana are available free of restriction under the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication.

Comment peut-on définir les activités de mouture en Gaule Narbonnaise durant l'Antiquité tardive ? Quelle place occupaientelles dans la sphère familiale ? Les meuneries hydrauliques et les ...boulangeries, bien représentées dès le Haut-Empire, se sont-elles développées, ou ont-elles régressé ? Comment s'organisaient le commerce des meules et leurs centres de production ? Ces thèmes sont abordés à travers l'étude de l'un de ces centres, celui de Saint-Quentin-la-Poterie dans le Gard. Attesté dès le Haut-Empi re, il fut particulièrement dynamique au cours des Ve-VIe s. apr. J.-C. Il comprend un site d'extraction divisé en concessions. Quatre établissements ruraux liés à son exploitation abritaient des ateliers de taille de meules. L'un d'eux, la villa de Roquésis, a fait l'objet d'une fouille programmée. Les types de meules produits à Saint-Quentin-la-Poterie sont par ailleurs confrontés avec ceux reconnus, plus largement, dans les habitats de Gaule méridionale durant l'Antiquité tardive. Issus de diverses meulières, ils nous renseignent sur les grandes catégories de moulins alors employées, et sur leur évolution. How can milling activities in Late Antique Gallia Narbonensis be defined? How important were they within the family setting? Did water mills and bakeries, well represented since the Early Empire, grow or decline in number? How was trade in millstones organized along with their production centres? These issues will be addressed through the study of one particular centre, that of Saint-Quentin-la-Poterie (Gard). Active since the Early Empire, it was particularly dynamic in the 5th and 6th c. AD. It consists of one extraction site divided into concessions and four rural establishments housing workshops for the shaping of the millstones. One of them, the Roquésis villa, has been the subject of a research excavation. The types of millstones produced in Saint-Quentin-la-Poterie are also compared with those found more broadly on Late Antique occupation sites in southern Gaul. The products of various quarries, they provide information on the main categories of mills during this period and on their evolution.
Au lieu-dit Château-Bas, sur la commune de Vernègues, le temple gallo-romain, dont une partie de l’élévation et de l’ordre corinthien subsistent encore in situ, a longtemps été le seul édifice ...visible. Les prospections, les fouilles programmées et différents diagnostics menés depuis la fin des années 1990, en plusieurs points du vallon de Cazan, et en particulier à proximité du temple, permettent de restituer l’occupation antique de cette zone sise en limite nord-ouest du territoire d’Aquae Sextiae. Notre vision du site se trouve désormais entièrement renouvelée. Cet article propose un bilan de l’ensemble de ces découvertes, qui conduisent à identifier le site à une agglomération rurale contemporaine du temple au moment de sa construction, entre extrême fin de la République et tout début du Principat d’Auguste. Nous en connaissons désormais les voies d’accès et les limites, qui dessinent une airée habitée d’au moins 8 hectares. Outre un vaste sanctuaire augustéen établi sur deux terrasses au pied de la colline et de nombreuses installations hydrauliques, le site comprenait un quartier à vocation artisanale et/ ou commerciale (verre, textile…), divers habitats (murs, tesselles de mosaïque, enduits peints…), des thermes ( ?) et une grande villa ou une grande domus à vocation mixte, vinicole et oléicole. Ce site fut occupé au moins jusqu’à la fin du Ve s. de n. è.
The Gallo-Roman temple at Château-Bas (Vernègues), where part of the elevation and Corinthian order still remain in situ, was the only visible building for a long time. Surveys, excavations and various diagnoses carried out since the end of the 1990s, in several points of the Cazan valley, and in particular near the temple, make it possible to restore the ancient occupation of this area situated on the north-western border of the territory of Aquae Sextiae. Our vision of the site is now completely renewed. This article presents an assessment of all these discoveries, which lead to the identification of the site with a rural agglomération, which was contemporary of the temple at the time of its construction, between the end of the Roman Republic and the beginning of the Principate of Augustus. We now know the access routes and boundaries, which draw an inhabited air of at least 8 hectares. In addition to a vast Augustan sanctuary established on two terraces at the foot of the hill and numerous hydraulic installations, the site included a district with an economic and/ or commercial vocation (glass, textile...), various habitats (walls, mosaic tesserae, painted plasters...), thermal baths ( ?) and a large villa or a big domus with mixed vocation, wine and olive oil. This site was occupied at least until the end of the 5th century.
