The excavations at St Peter's church, Barton-upon-Humber, between 1978 and 1984 have yielded the largest collection of human remains in the UK, dating from the late tenth century to the mid-nineteenth. The twin aims of the project were to understand the architectural history and setting of this complex, multi-period building (Volume 1), and to recover a substantial sample of the population for palaeopathological study (Volume 2). An extensive programme of historical and topographical research also took place in order to set the archaeological evidence firmly in context. Taking the long view over the entire period, however, it is striking how many of the marks of health and vigour, popularly supposed to have changed substantially between the middle ages and the Victorian era, have remained relatively constant. Together, the two volumes provide fascinating insights into that mainstay of settlement - the small English market town.

Where is a woman’s place in the mob? Does she even have one? Is the rise in women’s involvement in organized crime the darker side of their increased presence in the legitimate workplace, or simply a reworking of the mafia’s traditional male attitudes cloaked in the guise of women’s emancipation? The insightful essays in Women and the Mafia seek to answer these questions from a wide range of academic disciplines and trace the portrait of women tied to organized crime in Italy and around the world. This book pulls back the code of silence and shines a light on the dark image of women entangled in organized crime. The surprising first hand accounts of mafia women in Italy not only reveal women in power, "generals in skirts", but also tales of severe abuse and violence against women. The book introduces us to the professional women of the Argentine "mafia state", Albanian human traffickers, spies for the Russian mob, runners for Brazilian numbers rackets, and the mystique of the American gangster moll. "When something is risky, who do they send? Women … My aunt … can kill a person with her bare hands … if she were to see me now … she would shoot me down in the middle of the street; she’s got no problem with that … My mother made my brother feel like the boss; but she was the one who ran everything; he was the boss on the outside, but my mother had the real power … women are in charge, nothing you can do about it." Rita Di Giovine, state’s witness against the Calabrian ‘Ndrangheta.

La revue de sciences humaines Tracés, éditée par ENS Éditions, réunit deux fois par an des auteurs issus de diverses disciplines autour d’un thème ou d’un problème commun traversant les sciences humaines. Parfois, il s’agit de rendre compte d’un débat ancien qui a pris un tour nouveau en raison de l’actualité éditoriale ou d’événements politiques. D’autres fois, l’ambition est de soumettre à une interrogation croisée une notion que les multiples traditions intellectuelles et disciplinaires abordent en ordre dispersé ou bien encore tenter des rapprochements plus spéculatifs autour d’un terme aux usages mal contrôlés. La conviction profonde de Tracés est que le dialogue interdisciplinaire est non seulement possible mais fécond.
