Reprinted below is a letter recently sent by three members of Congress to the executive director of the Advisory Council for Historic Preservation. We think it is an indication -- perhaps an early warning -- that Congress is very likely to undertake an intensive review of the system of federal historic preservation laws and regulations under which archaeological resources in the United States are protected and managed. The signers of the letter are all well placed to have significant influence on legislation that affects the historic preservation system, and we think they are representative of a significant segment of the new Congress that would be receptive to attempts to weaken protection for archaeological and historic properties. James Hansen (R-Utah) is chair of the Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests, and Lands of the House Resources Committee; Wayne Allard (R-Colorado) is chair of the Subcommittee on Resource Conservation, Research, and Forestry of the House Agriculture Committee, and Barbara Vucanovich (R-Nevada) is a member of the Interior Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee. ; Snow, Dean, Donald Craib, Bruce Smith, and William D.

Ongoing excavations of the North Field,Vindolanda site reveal fascinating results about the military occupation of early Roman-Britain. Features of the industrial complex (kiln and dryers), ash and smoke pits, ditch cuts, and artifacts of tools, ceramics and everyday objects help archaeologists contextualize military life and production here at the North Field. The excavation of three early shallow cut ditches between 2010-2014 reinforce that the site hadprolonged occupation and use of the fort pre-dated the main site's earliest date of 85 AD, possibly for construction and/or defensive purposes. The excavation of the later small and large kiln/dryer reveal continued production of vessels and decorated ceramics. This poster highlights key finds of the excavations to display both importance of archaeological contexts and the high activity and continuity of this extramural settlement and how it differs from occupation of the main fort at Vindolanda.

The first documentary reference to a doorway connecting the two adjacent churches is in the visitation report of 1621. The report of 1636 described it: intus utramque est ianua aperta. It would, however, appear to have been there at least by 1575 when the pavimentum of the Visitation church was mentioned, since its paving stones are visible beneath the stones now blocking the doorway and were evidently laid so as to run through it (Plate 20). While it is not possible to decide beyond all doubt how much earlier than that the doorway was constructed, there are several points which suggest that it was not an original feature of the Annunciation church. ; peer-reviewed
