The early history of Denmark may be divided into two portions. For the first we have as materials only the native sagas and legends, which have been preserved for us by Saxo Grammaticus and others. The second portion, which covers a period when Denmark had entered into relations, sometimes hostile and sometimes diplomatic, with the great Frankish empire to the south, is illustrated by occasional notices in the contemporary monastic annals. These notices are of course of the highest value and interest. It seems clear that, if we are ever to glean any profitable materials about the earlier period, we must first gain a firm foothold upon the later, where we can check tradition by contemporary narrative; and I now propose to re–examine the history of the Danes from the time when they first appear in the Frankish chronicles, down to the death of their famous King Godfred.

Two vases, a cup and an oinochoe, from Arkesine in south-west Amorgos are published for the first time. It is argued that both are probably Middle Protogeometric, one an import from Euboia, the other from the south-east Aegean; chemical analysis supports both attributions. Their implications for the early history of Amorgos are discussed.

Birchbark letters from Novgorod from the 11th and 12th centuries show distinctions in the use of the two perfective active participles in Old Russian, a distinction thought to have been lost very early. Examination of the use of these participles in chronicles shows that the loss of this distinction began in the South in the 11th century, became more prevalent there in the 12th, but did not affect the Novgorod Chronicle until the late 12th century, so the Birchbark data are not surprising.

SummaryThe excavations were undertaken by the Silchester Excavation Committee supported by donations from public and private bodies and from individuals and by permission of the Duke of Wellington, K.G., F.S.A. Their purpose was the investigation of (a) a previously unsuspected polygonal enclosure of about 85 acres, here named the Inner Earthwork, which lay partly inside and partly outside the line of the familiar Roman town wall; and (b) a western extension to the known line of the Outer Earthwork, which increased the size of this enclosure from about 213 to 233 acres. With the assistance of the Ordnance Survey, the aerial traces of these earthworks, first observed and recorded by Dr. J. K. St. Joseph, F.S.A., were confirmed and extended by field-work and excavation, and have been planned as appears on pl. I.The excavations showed that the Inner Earthwork was a defence of Gaulish ‘Fécamp’ type, and that it was erected, on the south, over an area of late pre-Roman occupation, the first clearly identified at Calleva Atrebatum, but one with strong ‘Catuvellaunian’ influences in its pottery-series. It is claimed that the Inner Earthwork was constructed by the client King Cogidubnus in or shortly after A.D. 43–4, as the defence of this, the most important settlement in the north-west of his dominions. It is further suggested that the Inner Earthwork was replaced by the Outer Earthwork also during the reign of Cogidubnus.The excursus attempts to collate with the results of excavation the earlier discoveries of pre-Conquest material. The total evidence is finally related to the Belgico-Roman topography of Silchester and its neighbourhood, within the historical framework of the century and a half which separated the arrival of the earliest Belgic immigrants in the region from the death of Cogidubnus and the consequent emergence of the Roman Civitas Atrebatum.

This article draws attention to the possible importance of coffee exports from Ethiopia before the mid-nineteenth century. They may well have been a factor in attempts by Ethiopian emperors in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries to develop trade in Yaman, in India and with the Dutch in Java. By 1690, coffee was being exported from Zayla, and perhaps by other outlets. In 1705 and 1737 there were unsuccessful attempts by Europeans to obtain coffee direct from Ethiopia, though meanwhile the growth of plantations in European colonies had rendered such effort superfluous. Nonetheless, Ethiopia contributed to the Red Sea coffee trade during the eighteenth century, and it seems likely that coffee was exported from Enarya as well as from Harar. The kingdom of Shawa was well situated to exploit the development of coffee exports from the south-western highlands, and they would have assisted Shawa's efforts to distance itself from upheavals further north during the Zamana Masafent. The coffee trade may therefore have been more significant in the rise of Shawa in the later eighteenth and earlier nineteenth centuries than historians have hitherto allowed.

The Centre for Global Archaeological Research at Universiti Sains Malaysia (transl. University of Science Malaysia) had signed a memorandum of understanding with Universitas Syiah Kuala (Unsyiah) and Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU) regarding Islamic archaeological research in Sumatera. This cooperation was in order to unearth new clues on the early history of Islam in the South East Asia region. A preliminary survey had been done in Aceh and Barus which found a number of tombstones belonging to the early Muslim population in the area. This study focused on the Barus tombstones found in Penanggahan, Barus during the fieldwork in the December of 2014. The oldest tombstone found in Barus to date was dated to about 1350 AD. The Barus tombstones were made from tuff. This particular tombstone was unique in its form, the decoration and motif not conforming to any known classification to date. The engravings and carvings on the surface of the tombstones have its own distinct style. There are also similarities of the ornaments with those of the Plak-Pling tombstones which seems indicative of contact between Barus and Aceh during the time of the spread of Islam in the region.

В 2016 г. Археологическим центром Псковской области были проведены разведочные работы на поселении X-XI вв. у д. Горожане (Новосокольнический р-н Псковской обл.). Поселение располагается в юго-восточной части Бежаницкой возвышенности, на водоразделе бассейнов рек Великой и Ловати. Примерные размеры участка распространения культурного слоя (по результатам визуального осмотра и сбора подъемного материала) - 150 на 200 м. Площадь поселения составляет ок. 3 га, мощность культурных отложений - 0,8-0,9 м. Верхняя часть культурного слоя местами повреждена в ходе распашки. Отчетливо прослеживаются следы, как минимум, двух крупных пожаров. Предварительная дата памятника - X - 1-я пол. XI в. Поселение у д. Горожане по ряду параметров (достаточно узкая датировка, мощность и хорошая сохранность культурных отложений, вещевая коллекция) является значимым археологическим объектом для изучения ранней истории Древней Руси и требует дальнейшего археологического изучения. In 2016, the Archaeological center of Pskov region carried out exploration of the settlement of X-XIth cc. Gopozhane (Novosokol’nicheskiy district of the Pskov region). The settlement is located in the South-Eastern part of Bezhanitsky highland, on the watershed between the basins of the Velikaya and Lovat rivers. The approximate size of the area of distribution of the cultural layer (according to the results of visual inspection and collection of materials) is 150 by 200 m. The settlement area is about 3 ha, the cultural deposits density is 0,8-0,9 m. The Upper part of cultural layer was in some places damaged during plowing. Traces of at least two major fires can be clearly seen. The Gopozhane Settlement according to a number of features (rather narrow dating, density and good preservation of cultural deposits, material collection) is an important archaeological site for studying the early history of Ancient Rus and requires further archaeological study
