Book excerpt: The site at Mill Lane, Sawston, represents millennia of human activity within a dynamic and changing landscape setting. River valleys have been a focus for human activity since the early Holocene and, in addition to providing abundant archaeological evidence for this activity, the proximity to water also highlights the potential for the preservation of both archaeological remains and palaeoenvironmental source material. However, human activity within river valleys also commonly bridges areas of both wetland and dryland; ecological zones which are often approached using quite different archaeological methods and which present considerable differences in levels of archaeological visibility and preservation. The site at Mill Lane offered an uncommon opportunity to explore the interface between these two types of environment. Here we present the results of the study of a wetland/dryland interface on the edge of palaeochannels of the River Cam in Cambridgeshire. Through the integrated archaeological and palaeoenvironmental analysis of a site on the western edge of Sawston, a detailed picture of life on the edge of the floodplain from the late glacial to the post-medieval periods has been developed. At the heart of this is the relationship between people and their changing environment, which reveals a shifting pattern of ritual, occupation and more transitory activity as the riparian landscape in a wooded setting became a wetland within a more openly grazed environment. The presence of potential built structures dating to the early Neolithic, the early Bronze Age and the early Anglo-Saxon periods provides some sense of continuity, although the nature of these structures and the environmental context within which they were constructed was very different.

Download or read book An Atlas of Insect Diseases written by J. Weiser and published by Springer. This book was released on 1977-07-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diseases of insects are important factors reducing the number of insects in natural populations. They are density dependent and they act especially under conditions of outbreaks and close contact of susceptible hosts. They are im portant allies of man in his effort to replace toxic chemicals with non-toxic, biological means in the conservation of the environment of mankind. The importance of diseases as reducing factors has often been disregarded in studies on insect ecology and population dynamics. Most cases of mortality in carefully watched experiments have simply been characterized as "natural mortality", neglecting the fact that there is no "natural" mortality before the insects have finished their life assignment, the deposition of their eggs. The environmental factors including the pathogens are responsible for any other than natural mortality of the larvae, pupae and young adults of the pests. It is rather difficult to distinguish the different symptoms of a disease in insects. Therefore they are not noticed and their influence on populations is overlooked. We feel that a series of photographs of different stages of a collection of insect diseases could help such workers in a general orientation and we are sure from own experience that each specialist needs some broader oriented guide for the fields bordering his own homeland.
