continues to wTite a fortnightly coluMn for the Abingdon Herald.. -The Unit's Newsletter continues to be widely circulated although in 1980 it will only be produced every other month.. Unit staff also continue to work cicisely with the Oxford University Department for External Studies. Apart from providing tutors for eVening classes, weekend schools and summer.schciols the Unit once again organised a training excavation for the Department. This year's excavation was at Chalgrove. During Much of the year'Trevor Rowley, the Staff Tutor., was on sabbatidal and much of the-der-to-day liaison, therefore,- fell to his assistant Michael Aston and subsequently kate Tiller. Shirley Hermon of the Department also provided an invaluable link between the Unit and the DePertment. There have been various Committee.and Unit staff changes during the year. David Brown retired as Secretary to the Committee and hisplace W111 be taken by LoUise Armstrong. The Committee. welcomed Mr John Musty, Mr R Bainton and Dr D Leigh to its membership. . The . Committee's Vale of the White Horse and South Oxfordshire Archaeological Advisory Commitiees.met twice each during the year-and a new Oxford Archeeological,Advisory ComMittee once., Frances Cox who,had been assisting Maureen Mellor with medieval pottery left'the staff. So also, did Martin Jones who has taken up a Science' Research Council' post at . the,DepartMent of Botany. Mnch of his work will continue to be =orientated towards the Unit's work and he has been actively involved with the Unit in spite of, his'change of' employer. Gwynne Oakley joined the UnittO take over Finds Administration, in particular the organisation of past finds and their transfer to the appropriate museut. 1979 hae been altogether a succeesful year, however,'it is no time for coMplacency. 1980 will fadethe Unit with two major probleMs. First, the County Treasurer has indicated that he will no longer be able to serve as the Committee's Treasurer after March 1980. His retirement will be a sad loseto the Committee, since the Unit has always had a very special relationship with the County and with the Treasurer's Department in particular. The Committee will have to consider'not only new financial arrangements, but also posSibly the strudture of the Unit. It is highly likely that the Unit will have to-bedome a Limited Liability Company. The second problem relates to finance. With the end of the MSC STEP programme coupled with the:ever shrinking purchasing:power of the DOE's grent to the Unit even more ingenuity:will have to be shown by the -Unit if it is both to remain' atanything like its present eize in terms of staff and to carry out such a widespread programme of work. 'In.this respect the Unit will.' have t6 exploit its paet record and its sitUatiOn in Oxford if itis to continue to attract-more non-goVernment sources of 'Money. and man-. power. The role of local societies and volunteers will. also continue to be-fundamental in this respect. In conclusion, it is e pleasure to' thank:once again all those people-who'assisi the Unit both as professional'and part-time - colleagues'. -Many-nmmes have already been mentioned while'others appear under the site reports. Sarah Richardson as the Unit Secretary/ Administrative Assistant helped to act as the lynch pin of the Unit's organisation. The County Treasurer and particularly Barry Phillips and Russell Worsley handled the Unit's finances with the expertise
with.which the Unit has grown accUstomed. Dan Chadwick, John .Steane, John Rhodes and Ahmed-.Shishtawi of the Department of Museum Services and David Brown, Andrew Shetratt and: Arthur Macgregor of the Ashmolean have assisted wbere the Unit and the museums have'interrelated. Brian Davison and Paul Gosling of the DoE continue to provide advice and . encouragement, The Unit's work in the Upper Thames Valley gravel fields would.not_be possible without the.major support-from the Amey Roidstone Corporation. Gordon Plummer,Area Director of ARC Southern, an&Douglas Rayner', Terry Jones and Graham Pollard., the.unit-managers. at Tits where excavations have taken place, :have all prOvided invaluable assistance. Finally the Unit is indebted to its financial backers, notably from Central Government: the DoE and the Manpower Services Commission; from Local Government: Oxfordshire County Council, Oxford City Council, the Vale of the White Horse District Council, South Oxfordshire District Council, West Oxfordshire District Council, Abingdon Town Council and the following parish councils: Appleton with Eaton, Cumilor, St. Helen Without, Sunningwell, Sutton Courtenay; from the University: the University Department for External Studies and St. Cross College together with the following colleges: St. John's, St. Peter's and Wadham. The Unit is also grateful for the major covenanted grant from the Amey Roadstone Corporation and other substantial grants from the British Academy and the Oxford Préservation Trust. SURVEY PROJECTS 1. The Uppér Thames Valley Survey --Richard Hingley The need to update knowledge an the cropmarks of Oxfordshire for the post 1972 period has been recognised for some*years. The two remarkably dry summers of 1975 and 1976 together with a general increase in the nUmber of photographs'taken each year necessitat6d a survey of new photographs. One hundred and fifty sites of-varying date have been recognised during the survey and incorporated in the county Sites and Monuments Record. The Oxfordshire ArchaeolOgical Unit has been forced by rescue considerations to concentrate resources on the sites situated in gravel. The opportunity of this.survéy has been taken tO consider settlement on the limestone uplands Alorth.and south of the Thames. Conclusions on the distribution of cropmarks are various. of the most important are as follows:. Some Gravel soils remain verY productive in new data. In the Lechlade to Oxford area (Benson and Miles 1974, Section 1) q. 30% additiOnal data has been forthcoming for the post 1972 period (Fig.35). The.Corallian Ridge south of the Thames and the limestone ridges of North Oxford here have begun to produce densities of sites comparable to the gravel areas. Several areas have produced phenomenal concentrations of sites
