With his passing, archaeological science and Quaternary Studies have lost a great pioneer. Obituary notices have appeared in the press and full reviews of his work will appear in the academic literature, but the editors of this journal think it appropriate to honour his memory in a more personal way. In the pages that follow, some of his former colleagues and friends offer tributes which demonstrate the respect felt for both him and his work.

Europeanization of sub-Arctic environments: perspectives from Norse Greenland’s outer fjords

ABSTRACT Europeanization of sub-Arctic environments by Norse communities in Greenland, from the e... more ABSTRACT Europeanization of sub-Arctic environments by Norse communities in Greenland, from the early 11th to mid 15th centuries AD, varied spatially and temporally, with pas-toral agriculture and associated homefield management at the heart of this transformation. This process is poorly understood for the outer fjord areas of Norse Greenland and from this locality we contribute a homefield soils and sediments-based analysis. Our findings identify a recipe effect – the partitioning of turf, domestic animal manure and domestic waste resources used to manage soil fertility, field irrigation channels and the effects of eroded material deposition in the homefield. These management practices increased soil macro-nutrient status relative to pre-settlement concentration in some areas of the homefield whilst macro-nutrient concentrations in other areas of the homefield were allowed to decline. We suggest that where resources were limited, sustainable intensification could only be achieved in some areas of the homefield with other areas managed unsustainably.

Bronze Age myths? Volcanic activity and human response in the Mediterranean and North Atlantic regions

This is the heart of the recurrent question in later European prehistory — whether in the Mediterranean or in the Atlantic northwest — about volcanic eruptions, their impact on climate, and then of the climatic impact on human populations. The burial under tephra of the Late Bronze Age settlement of Santorini is proof of a particular catastrophe: but is there the evidence to prove wider European calamity?

It is suggested that pollen analysis in the British Isles should adopt the latest authoritative thinking and a draft list of pollen types consistent with the flora by Stace (1991) has been produced. -K.Clayton
