Standing Costrel
Description
Fabric: Soft and chalky, usually buff to very pale yellow, but can also be pale brown. Sherds are easily mistaken for tin-glaze missing its glaze, and the costrels may have come from kilns primarily producing tin-glazed products. Picture.
Glaze: Although sometimes mistaken for tin-glaze, chemical analysis of a Jamestown example found the glaze to be lead (Jelks 1958:205). It usually does not reach the base, is usually extremely thin, and typically surviving only in isolated patches. This survival in pits is the best way to distinguish costrel fragments from tin-glaze which has lost its surface. Under the glaze on the upper shoulders, some costrels exhibit a crude, eight-pointed star which can be yellow, red, or blue (Hurst et al. 1986:63). Blue spirals have also been found (Outlaw 1990:116, 119).
Form: Standing costrels are rounded with a long tapering neck flanked by two vertical loop handles. Two sides are flattened, bases are flat and slightly splayed. They stand about 22 cm tall.
Discussion:
Standing costrels, sometimes called "Iberian costrels", are one of the most common European earthenwares found in early Virginia. The vessels were almost certainly made on the Iberian peninsula, but their source has not been identified (John G. Hurst 1994, pers. comm.). Seville has been suggested, but Neutron Activation Analysis of a sherd from Virginia (site 44PG302) indicates they are not a Seville product (John G. Hurst 1995, pers. comm.).

Global palaeoflood hydrology V.R. Baker Department of Geoscience, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona 85721, U.S.A. Palaeoflood hydrology, first formally named in 1982, has spread rapidly as a method for understanding changes in flood magnitude and frequency in relation to causative environmental factors. The most accurate procedure, the study of slackwater deposits and palaeostage indicators (SWD-PSI), has been the subject of organised research programmes in many countries. SWD-PSI studies have proven most useful in bedrock stream channels in dryland and seasonally dry climate regions. Major research programmes have been organised in the United States, Australia, China, Israel, Spain, Russia and South Africa. Preliminary work has identified SWD-PSI sites in Greece, Mexico, Namibia and Peru. Excellent potential for SWD-PSI work occurs throughout southern Europe, southwestern and central Asia, northern and southern Africa, northeastern and western South America.

997 MARITIME ARCHAEOLOGY TRAINING PROGRAMME - Karen Millar EXPLANATION OF OBJECTIVES The overall objective is to train a chosen group of eight Sri Lankan archaeologists in maritime archaeological techniques. The ultimate aim is for Sri Lanka to have a group of skilled local people to manage the country’s maritime archaeological sites. This season’s work is being conducted over a six week period, a continuation of the training given in 1992/3. The programme aims to provide a basic and general understanding of all aspects of maritime archaeology, with exposure to the wide range of skills required. In-water practical sessions are supplemented by tutorials, work shops and video presentations to explain various aspects of underwater archaeology.
The trainees are asked to develop a workbook covering all the exercises they have completed, and to write up the practical workshops in which they are involved. An individual assessment of each trainee’s skills in five categories is made progressively, with a final assessment at the completion of the programme. Participants are awarded a certificate of their participation in the training programme. Assessment of equipment and in-water abilities
  • SCUBA qualifications, in-water experience and medical examinations

This important collection of essays presents the first survey in English of the archaeological and historical evidence for the development of urbanism in Iberia — evidence crucial for our understanding of the origin of ancient towns in Europe. The Iberian peninsula is a region of great potential for archaeological study, because of its key geographical position in south-western Europe and its rich and varied cultural background. These papers, by leading European scholars in the field, combine broad period-based syntheses of modern scholarship with specific examples from recent work at major sites. The volume is edited by Barry Cunliffe Professor of European Archaeology at the University of Oxford, and a Fellow of the British Academy

TO BE OR NOT TO BE PALAEOLITHIC
TO BE OR NOT TO BE PALAEOLITHIC
Petroglyphs of supposedly Palaeolithic style have been discovered in
Cueva del Moro, a rockshelter near Tarifa in Cádiz, at the southernmost
tip of Spain. Lothar Bergmann reports this find in Almoraina (No.13, April 1995),
describing the images of a large-bellied, near-complete horse and two horse
heads as being of the 'linear style of the Upper Palaeolithic'
(see also Revista de Arqueologia of January 1996).
Sergio Ripoll López, the principal researcher of the large site complex
of Domingo García in the Northern Meseta of Spain, has examined the new
find and confirms its authenticity as 'Palaeolithic', but he nominates as its age only 8000 years. There are also some red paintings in the same shelter, whose exact location is not disclosed for the art's protection. The horse figure is reminiscent of horse petroglyphs at other sites across the Iberian Peninsula, notably in the Côa valley of northern Portugal.

    N. America's settlers may have crossed Atlantic
    November 2, 1999
    Web posted at: 8:42 AM EST (1342 GMT) SANTA FE, New Mexico (AP) In a radical new view of pre-history, two prominent archeologists say North America's first inhabitants may have crossed the icy Atlantic Ocean some 18,000 years ago from Europe's Iberian Peninsula. The theory, presented at a weekend conference, is at odds with the long-held notion that the continent's first settlers came across a land bridge from Asia. MESSAGE BOARD Archaeology today The conventional view typically depicts wandering cavemen wrapped in animal hides and lugging enormous spears, crossing the land bridge from Asia to hunt woolly mammoths.

    Codex of the Monastery of San Pedro de Cardeña
    Beatus of Liébana - Commentary on St. John the Evangelist's Revelations
    12th Century
    n the eighth century, the greater part of the Iberian Peninsula was invaded and ruled by Arabs. Christian religious and lay people migrated north into the mountains and set up safe havens for their culture and religion. They took relics, books and other significant objects with them. In the northern mountains of Spain, the migrants met with the Visigoths who ruled with severity. The Visigoths, like most other Christian kingdoms at the time, followed the calendar of the Consular Era. This calendar indicated that the end of the ninth century corresponded with the end of the millennium according to Christ. And, according to Saint John the Evangelist's Revelations, the end of the millennium would bring the Final Judgement and the coming of the Lamb. Fear and awe filled the minds of Christians as they began to contemplate the coming of the end of the world as they knew it. As the monasteries in the north grew in size and power, they posed a threat to the already weakened See of Toledo on the Spanish meseta. This factor, along with the continuous Arabic incursions and the vision of an impending end of the world described by St. John, paints a picture of the historical milieu in which the monk, Beatus of Liébana, sat down and wrote his commentary on the Apocalypse. He contemplated the destiny of the Christian church on the Iberian Peninsula and the final salvation of his people in the event of the Apocalypse predicted by St. John the Evangelist. He affirms his faith in the authority of the Saints and the grace of God all Mighty.

    The Medieval Celtic Fringe
    In the early Middle Ages, Celtic-speaking populations survived in an even smaller fringe, which included Ireland (which was never conquered by the Romans), Cornwall, the Isle of Man, and Wales and Scotland (whose mountainous regions never became Romanized), as well as Brittany in western Gaul (settled by Britons in the fifth and sixth centuries AD). Celtic languages predominated in these areas throughout the medieval period, a period in which Christianity mixed with indigenous pagan custom to produce a unique and dynamic culture. The Age of the Saints in the early Celtic churches, which lasted up to the Viking invasions of the ninth century, produced such figures as Patrick, Brigid, David, and Columba. Less famous Celtic monks and craftsmen from the period gave us such masterpieces as the Ardagh Chalice and the Book of Kells, while Celtic bards and clerks composed the Ulster Cycle, the Mabinogi, and the Arthurian legends. Below you will find on-line resources to help you explore all of these topics (as well as related topics like Anglo-Saxon and Viking history), with links to examples of both the literary and material culture of the Celtic-speaking peoples in the Middle Ages.
