Rare information is presented on Bronze Age burials from Burma. Skeletal remains of 43 individuals are placed in a broader southeast Asian context.

Camels were not native to Europe during the Holocene and were evidently imported by conquering peoples. The discovery of camel bones at two sites in Slovenia is an important contribution to understanding the distribution and function of these animals during the Roman Imperial Period.

The author reports on experiments in megalithic construction using axe-based technology and proposes methods whereby relatively small groups of skilled workers could effectively transport and erect standing stones and dolmens.

Forgeries of ancient seals have been found in modern times, but there has been little previous analysis of how much security ancient seals might have offered.

The success of these attacks suggests that ancient stamp and cylinder seals may have been highly vulnerable to spoofing.

We are pleased to present this assessment of a recent seminar on West Heslerton, one of the key sites of Anglo-Saxon northern England, as a prelude to the impact of its publication.
