A NOTE FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Here we are again, halfway t.hrough Summer Schools and having to think already when I haven't written about goes.

out: 'time about. the 1996 yet..

off' l.let.ween 1997 season Anyway here

1996 was a very good year. although there were one nr two hiccups with the weather. We had al~st a record nu~ber of students and sn exceptionally large number of visitors, thanks to all the very hard work put in with publicity, l~rgcly by Claire Smith. Thanks also to our guides for all their efforts which were reflected in the compliEents paid by the visitors. The AGM was held on August 10th with some Friends COiling some distance to attennd. Vicky Wilson was confirlled as Secretary after being Acting secretary for the previous year, with Joy Buxton and Claire Smith being elected to the Committee.

Finally, I hope everyone had a very Happy Christmas and look forward to seeing you in 1997.

DIRECTOR'S DICTA

'l'he 1996 seasOn .... rk&d our 'separation' fro_ Kee l .. Uujv"rsity, anu pro,"eu to I.>e one of out: be"t ever in ler.s of student nllmbers. Over 130 people · ... ere on site during the six week&, of whom 58 were ne,. lo Wortley. It was good to .. ee so lIany young people either waiting to go to University or already there. There' 8 little doubt that the doubling of student numbers last year was the result of the advertising and leaflet-sending being in our (or rather Vicky's) hands and not left to someone many miles away.

As you will read in the the digging highlight of the season was the stone-constt:ucted channels under the cellar floor, seell to have had a ritual .. ignificance (doesn't in archaeology? 1). There see", to be no in Britain, although eom" l!Iay exist The non-digging highlight. was the long-overdue victory of the Dig tea .. over the Cottage tea .. in the annual skittles match. This, like the excavation, was extremely well attended, with all of the large number of new folk in the final week taking part.

Our three open Days were very succeSSful, thanks to all of those people who gave up their tille to act as guides lInd helpers - To_, Vera, Julian, Richard, Clair .. , Harry, lan, David, Geof!, and Hilary and especially Maisie who continued to charll and enlighten the nUllerous visitors throughout each of th .. throe days.

We look forward to seeing as nany of you as possible at the Annu",1 Reunion Dinner ",t Nibley House On Saturday ::>2nd MIOrch 1997 (see separate booking for.).

Finally. I hope you all had an enjoyable Christmas, and that the New Year will be good to you.

MY WORTLE¥ INITIATION

1 thoroughly enjoyed ~y taste of archaeology at Wortl"y from 29 June _ 6 July 1996. W .. arriven lo"neil rlnwn with vadous types of apparel for all weathers, shoes, boots, wellies, sun hats, rain hats etc.

1 left my rucks"ck and flask behi:!.d "s Win (Far~er) was already overloaded. 1 tried to c"dge a cup of tea f~a .. Maisi .. , bur she wouldn't. be bribed. I would have killed fo~ a cuppa in the hre"k. I thought wC would be trowelling 11.11 week but went straight. into a series of mind-blowing lectures. All very interesting as it turned out. I've still got a sprai:!.ed fingor from the little bit of trowelling that I did. 1 went racing to Beryl with odd tinds; Olle was a seed which I thought w"s 11 bead. My finds were so minute, a .. ryl thought I was into geology. I did find a pile of old nails c.1940, We had so~e lovely meals out at various hostelries ending on Friday at The Fox, arranged by Richard. He .. hook my hand at the end of the evening (I wall expecting 11.

1>"9), lie hllgged everyone else. Is tbe.e something "omeone hasn't told ~e?

I was 11 hit. in awe of Dllvid Wilson, who IMtched around with an air of authority. I thought, Oh no, he's co~ing to look at .1' find .. , All the. le('tu~ers weTe very interesting ... ith their "peci"Used knowledge. After the Resistivity lecture, I was tempted to sneak out in d"a<l. at night an<l. <'!lig up the ",djoinin9 fit'lrL Jenny wa.s fascinating with her Environmental archaeology.

TilE BONN ARCIlAEOLOGICAL STATISTICS PACKAGE (BASP)

My Mot her's Day present frOIl my son last year was a copy of BASP it III<>de " change froll flowe~sl Mine is the DOS version, which you Can obtain FREE via t he Int.ernet, but there la also a Windows version (addresses a~nd).

It is not a full statistics package so, while it doesn't 1,ave the MOre common statistical functions - they are easily found ~n general packages lik6 spreadsheets, it. concantrat .. s on more speciatis~ topics that. are particularly interesting to archaeologists, What you can do with the softwllre is,

1. Correspondence and principal component analysis 2. Seristion 3. Cluster analysis 4. Distribution "",pping 5. HaIrls Matrices

It can takc in data fro~ other general packages.

So far I've only got round to usinq the lIarris Matrix part, I am inputting the Woxtley strati'lraphy anil it .... ems straight.forward the aofl ..... re. not th.. ~tr ... ti9raphy. It will automatically number lay .. rs if you want it to. can cope w; th lI'I(>r.. th;,n on .. nu",bering sequ .. nce (eg so you can have layers/ f eatures as 2 number runs or contexts as a singl .. one). refuse to go on if you try to type in a r .. l .. t.icn"hip that contradict .. something you've already entered, display part or all of the mntril!, eVCn tell you how many pages you will need to print out the tree. It forces you to sort out the logic as you go along Which has both good and bad points. The _in <lisadvantage I've found so far ar .. relat.ionship deletions which are tedious to do. If you ... ant to br .. ak .. linl:: between two layers. it will only let you carry out this after you hav .. considered relationships witn All associated l<ly .. rs. This k .... p" th .. logic con~i~t .. nt but it can be very irritating to do.
