    • Moel-y-Gaer (Bodfari) is the northernmost of a series of hillforts atop the Clwydian hills in Wales. Nine seasons of survey and excavation reveal details of Moel-y-Gaer's ramparts, entrances and interior. Discussion situates the site within the later prehistoric settlement record for north-eastern Wales paying particular attention to hillforts.

    • The excavation of Alfred's Castle reveals a rich historical tapestry, beginning with Bronze Age round barrows and evolving through various phases, including Iron Age enclosures and a Roman villa. This site prompts exploration of themes like memory and continuity, questioning how past uses influenced later developments. The volume not only presents excavation findings but also features an art project by Simon Callery. It concludes with a broader analysis of the Berkshire Downs, examining the intricate relationships between the living and the dead across ages.

      This fully revised second edition retains the hands-on simple approach of the first edition but with some significant modifications. Still covered in detail are descriptive and inferential techniques with each one worked through by hand on a common data-set, but new is a chapter covering an introduction to multivariate techniques.
