<p>This is a report on a detailed survey conducted within an area of 100 km2 along the south (left) bank of the River Euphrates (Firat Nehri) in southeastern Turkey. The survey provided a fourteen period sequence of settlement covering a span of 8,000 years. Population growth during the late Chalcolithic and the mid-late Early Bronze Age appears to have resulted in the gradual removal of woodland from the area. During the latter peak, a network of nodal settlements developed within cultivable lowlands, and formed part of a moderately well-integrated hierarchy of villages and small towns. Following a late Bronze Age-early Iron Age decline in visible remains of settlement, population again increased during the Seleucid-Hellenistic Period to reach a peak in the late Roman-early Byzantine times. By this time, all cultivable land was under either extensive or intensive cultivation and the limestone uplands probably formed rough pasture. There followed, during the seventh-tenth centuries AD, a remarkable decline in remains of sedentary occupation, which only recovered slightly in the Medieval period. Several hundred years of poorly documented settlement followed which culminated in the establishment, probably by the nineteenth century, of the modern network of settlements. A substantial growth in total cultivated area appears to have resulted from large-scale mechanization during the twentieth century.</p>

The four reports contained in this volume cover a timescale of more than 1500 years. The Iron Age salterns at Helpringham contain an unknown number of hearths with associated mounds, now almost ploughed away. In the Iron Age the sea reached this low-lying area which is now 24km from the coast, human activity and nature having combined to create a new landscape in the intervening centuries. There is a large body of evidence for considerable salt-making activity several centuries after the Helpringham salterns ceased operating. Two reports deal with a microcosm of the Romano-British salt producers at Holbeach St Johns. The final report, describing a salt-making site at Bicker Haven, takes the process forward into the middle ages and demonstrates how much salt-making methods, as well as the landscape, had altered during that time.

<p>Just like Us is a vivid snapshot of the possible reactions of no fewer than twentyone characters who came into contact with Jesus of Nazareth. It ranges over a wide spectrum of individuals, from Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist, to Paul, Apostle to the Gentiles. The studies are clustered around the birth of Jesus, his death, and his resurrection, and they afford a fascinating glimpse of how representatives from every walk of life, from kings to fishermen, could have responded to the unique personality of the most influential person in history.</p>
