Sexually Transmitted Diseases: A Guide for Primary Care, second
edition, covers the diagnosis and treatment of STDs and other
information critical to patient care and reflects the last five
years of significant changes in information about STDs. Updated to
reflect the 2010 Center for Disease Control Guidelines on the
Treatment of STDs, this book also contains new information about:
-the epidemiology of herpes virus infections -expedited partner
therapy -changes in recommendations for HPV vaccination for men
-changes in resistance patterns for antimicrobial therapy for
gonorrhea and chlamydia -treatment recommendations for bacterial
vaginosis -treatment recommendations for genital warts In order to
better meet clinician needs, the book has been streamlined to
quickly convey critical, evidence-based information. Whether
seeking information about particular conditions (including HPV,
herpes, syphilis, trichomoniasis, HIV and AIDS, and others) or
related patient issues (such as STD exposure evaluation and
evaluation of sexual assault), Sexually Transmitted Diseases,
second edition, contains the knowledge doctors need in a friendly,
to-the-point format.
The exotic and impressive grave goods from burials of the 'Wessex
Culture' in Early Bronze Age Britain are well known and have
inspired influential social and economic hypotheses, invoking the
former existence of chiefs, warriors and merchants and high-ranking
pastoralists. Alternative theories have sought to explain how
display of such objects was related to religious and ritual
activity rather than to economic status, and that groups of
artefacts found in certain graves may have belonged to religious
specialists. This volume is the result of a major research project
that aimed to investigate Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age grave
goods in relation to their possible use as special dress
accessories or as equipment employed within ritual activities and
ceremonies. Many items of adornment can be shown to have formed
elements of elaborate costumes, probably worn by individuals, both
male and female, who held important ritual roles within society.
Furthermore, the analysis has shown that various categories of
object long interpreted as mundane types of tool were in fact items
of bodily adornment or implements used in ritual contexts, or in
the special embellishment of the human body. Although never
intended to form a complete catalogue of all the relevant artefacts
from England the volume provides an extensive, and intensively
illustrated, overview of a large proportion of the grave goods from
English burial sites.
This is a new release of the original 1948 edition.
The results of archaeological investigations undertaken in advance
of quarrying within a 53ha concession at Little Paxton, to the
north of St Neots in Cambridgeshire (England) from 1992 to 1998.
The archaeological fieldwork involved a total of 10ha of open-area
excavation, as well as watching briefs and salvage recording,
preceded by air photograph plotting, geophysical survey,
fieldwalking and trial-trenching. The fieldwork was undertaken for
the predecessor companies of Aggregate Industries by Birmingham
University Field Archaeology Unit (now Birmingham Archaeology). The
investigations recorded flint scatters of Mesolithic-Bronze Age
date, pits containing Neolithic-Bronze Age pottery, extensive
ditched field boundaries and ditched enclosures of Iron Age and
Romano-British date, including livestock enclosures and associated
droveways.

Oxbow says: In 1999 excavations were held at Grange Park,
Courteenhall in Northamptonshire by Birmingham University
Archaeology Unit in advance of the re-development of the site. The
project aimed to investigate the date and function of the various
sites and features revealed, as well as the social organisation and
economy of the site, from the first major occupation of the site in
the middle Iron Age, to the early-middle Saxon period. This volume
reports on the findings from the initial desk-based research,
survey work, fieldwalking and test-pitting, and most especailly
from the excavations carried out at the site. Reports on the
pottery, including large quantities of Iron Age and Roman ceramics,
metal, stone and clay finds, and on the envionment, people and
economy, are included.

This volume present a detailed study of the thin, usually
rectangular, pieces of pierced fine stone that occur in inhumation
graves of Beaker date mainly of the second half of the third
millennium cal BC. These objects are considered to be archer's
bracers or wristguards. The study forms part of a more wide-ranging
research project to identify more accurately the significance of
burial assemblages from Beaker and Early Bronze Age contexts in
England and Wales. The key objective is to produce a detailed
analysis of the nature and function of these grave goods, beginning
with the bracers, and to test the hypothesis that many of the
artefacts were originally designed for use as components of ritual
costume or as equipment for use in religious acts and ceremonies.
The volume includes an illustrated database of all recorded
bracers.
Pottery has become one of the major categories of artefact that is
used in reconstructing the lives and habits of prehistoric people.
In these 14 papers, members of the Prehistoric Ceramics Research
Group discuss the many ways in which pottery is used to study
chronology, behavioural changes, inter-relationships between people
and between people and their environment, technology and
production, exchange, settlement organisation, cultural expression,
style and symbolism. Contents: Introduction (Ann Woodward & J D
Hill); A date with the past: Late Bronze and Iron Age pottery and
chronology (Steven Willis); The nature of archaeological deposits
and finds assemblages (Joshua Pollard); Aspects of manufacture and
ceramic technology (Alex Gibson); Between ritual and routine:
interpreting British prehistoric pottery production and
distribution (Sue Hamilton); Staying alive: The function and use of
prehistoric ceramics (Elaine L Morris); Sherds in space: pottery
and the analysis of site organisation (Ann Woodward); Pottery and
the expression of society, economy and culture (J D Hill); Ceramic
lifes (Alistair Barclay); Pots as categories: British Beakers
(Robin Boast); Inclusions, impressions and interpretation (Ann
Woodward); A regional ceramic sequence: pottery of the First
Millennium BC between the Humber and the Nene (David Knight); Just
about the potter's wheel? Using, making and depositing Middle and
Later Iron Age pots in East Anglia (J D Hill); Roman pottery in
Iron Age Britain
This volume is the first of two reports on archaeological
excavations undertaken ahead of the eastern expansion of Daventry
International Rail Freight Terminal (DIRFT) which lies in the
northern watershed region of Northamptonshire at its border with
Warwickshire. The excavations, covering 178 hectares, recorded one
of the most extensive Iron Age farming settlements yet discovered
in the British Isles. It comprised at least five individual sites
of house clusters and enclosures, spread around the rim of a
shallow valley overlooking around 100 hectares of open pasture. At
its peak between 400 BC and 100 BC the settlement would have
contained up to 100 circular buildings. Volume 1 describes the
excavation of the largest of these individual sites, that at Covert
Farm, Crick, excavated by the Birmingham University Field
Archaeology Unit. From the outset the excavations adopted an
innovative approach to examine social themes in Iron Age studies,
such as relationships with rubbish, fire and water, and the way
life in the settlement may have been experienced by its inhabitants
- themes that are presented and discussed in this book.
