Festschrift for Prof Mark Brisbane

https://www.archaeopress.com/Archaeopress/Products/9781803279237 Papers honor Mark's research on urbanization and trade in Britain and Europe, and his contributions to museums and museology. In two sections, the first provides up-to-date reviews of Hamwic (Saxon Southampton) and the second offers post-excavation studies in Britain and Europe and also includes developments in the Museum and Heritage sectors. I contributed Chapter 16 about the unique 'salt ships' of Nantwich to recognise Mark's leadership of the Eu unded Ecosal Atlantos project. Unfortuately due to funding restrctions an OPen Access version was not made availble as originally intended.

SPMA Congress 28-30 May 2021 - Talk accepted

 The Society for Post Medieval Archaeology have accepted a talk by Andrew at the 2021 Congress being presented online this year.

The talk will describe suggestions made by Dr William Brownrigg or Whitehaven to prevent the spread of contagious diseases in 1771.

Brownrigg delivered a paper to the Royal Society in 1748 on how to improve salt making in the UK.

The paper will describe the similarities about Brownrigg's suggestions in the context of the present Covid19 pandemic and measures put in place by the government to halt transmission.
