Algeria is largely open to the western Mediterranean, but links with its neighbouring regions are poorly understood. This book considers networks between Algeria and the south-east of the Iberian Peninsula, from pre-Roman times to the Middle Ages. Papers revolve around three themes: mobility; economic exchange; and cultural and knowledge transfer

This volume examines conceptions, ideas and habits connected with children in Antiquity and the Middle Ages, focusing on the ""dark sides of childhood"" in the pre-modern world. The authors investigate the long-term attitudes of people, as well as ruptures in habits and customs. The book is divided into three parts. ""Unwanted"" deals with parents who were unable to bring up their baby and handed it over to other people or the cruel whims of destiny. ""Disabled"" addresses what we would label as children's illnesses since disability was a concept largely unknown to ancient people. ""Nearly Los

In 2008 several heritage sites in Botswana were opened for tourism in addition to the Tsodilo World Heritage Site. Insufficient research was undertaken to understand how local communities and local cultures respond to these ventures. This study presents an overview of community transformation and responses to heritage sites as globalised platforms

La arqueología no es el principal objetivo de la estrategia turística local de muchos lugares de Patrimonio Mundial en España, lugares definidos por criterios no arqueológicos, pero, ¿hay formas alternativas de relacionarse con ella? El surgimiento de las páginas web 2.0 han revertido la dirección de los discursos turísticos: desde los organismos gubernamentales y las organizacionales comerciales a los públicos. Los turistas producen contenidos (p.ej. fotografías, datos, experiencias….) que son después compartidos con las comunidades online de turistas potenciales y reales. ¿Qué pueden contarnos estas plataformas colaborativas sobre la arqueología de los destinos Patrimonio Mundial? A través del análisis de este contenido generado por los usuarios en una de estas páginas web 2.0 (Trip Advisor), se aborda críticamente cómo la arqueología está presente en quince lugares Patrimonio Mundial de España y si estos sitios web pueden proporcionar nuevas oportunidades de promoción. Varias reflexiones surgen de este análisis. Los museos locales y regionales, uno de los rasgos más extendidos de las políticas culturales gubernamentales, se convierten en una oportunidad para generar nuevos contenidos a la vez que se usan estos espacios para atraer a turistas a los valores arqueológicos. El tema de la autenticidad y la necesidad de abordar el turismo expriencial también reflejan el potencial de las web 2.0 como fuentes de información útiles para la planificación turística. ; Archaeology is not the main focus of local governments' strategy for tourism in many Spanish World Heritage contexts defined by non‑archaeological criteria; but, are there alternative ways of engaging with it? The surge of 2.0 websites has upturned the traditional direction of tourism discourse from governmental bodies and marketing organizations to the audiences and participants, that is, the tourists. The tourists themselves produce the website contents (. photographs, facts, experiences…) that are then shared with the wider online communities of prospective and present tourists. What can these collaborative platforms tell us about archaeology in World Heritage destinations? Through the assessment of this user‑generated content on a 2.0 websites (TripAdvisor), this paper critically addresses how archaeology is presented in fifteen non‑archaeological World Heritage Sites in Spain and reflects on whether 2.0 websites may provide new opportunities for promotion. Local and regional museums, one of the most widespread elements created by governmental cultural policies, become an opportunity to generate new contents themselves while using these spaces to attract tourists to archaeological values. The issue of authenticity and the need to address experiential tourismare added potentials for the use of 2.0 websites as useful sources of information for heritage tourism planning.

Cramond Roman Fort has been the focus of archaeological interest since the publication of John Wood's history of the parish in the late 18th century, with a floruit of activity in the latter half of the 20th century. Playing an important part in this volume of work have been the excavations led by the late Mr Charlie Hoy (d 1991), an Edinburgh amateur archaeologist working principally with the Edinburgh Archaeological Field Society and latterly on his own. His excavations have recovered a wide range of evidence from the Mesolithic through the Roman and medieval periods up to the post-medieval development of Cramond House Estate. Hoy's investigations have been hugely important to our understanding of the Roman fort's associated annexe/extramural settlement, in particular providing new evidence for its origins in the Antonine period, and for Severan occupation, as well as uncovering a multi-phased road and associated wooden structures. In addition, the artefact assemblage further adds to the corpus from the site and includes an internationally significant sword pendant belonging to a beneficiarius (beneficiarii were troops on special service for the provincial governor) that demonstrates the presence of German troops at the fort, and perhaps hints at the presence of the emperor himself.
