This volume presents the results of the first 10 years of archaeological investigation at Wellington Quarry, Herefordshire. During this time a regionally unique archaeological and palaeoenvironmental sequence was recorded covering nearly 8000 years of interrelated human activity and landscape change in the Lower Lugg Valley. Starting with use by Mesolithic hunter-gatherers, the heavily wooded floodplain witnessed periods of sporadic occupation and activity throughout early prehistory. A mid 4th millennium BC pit group provided a detailed insight into a wide range of seasonally based activities

Alors que les prairies maigres de fauche sont en déclin en Wallonie, les carrières offrent des possibilités de développement de cet habitat encore peu explorées. Des parcelles ont été créées suivant différentes modalités dans deux carrières wallonnes (Hermalle-sous-Huy et Marche-les-Dames, Belgique) dans le cadre du Life in Quarries. Les remblais qui ont été utilisés pour les créations sont des terres de découverture (partie du sol entre la surface et la roche exploitée), des boues de bassins de décantation, des déchets de chaux et des remblais pierreux. Nous avons réalisé un suivi des parcelles créées afin de mettre en lumière quelles possibilités offrent les remblais d’exploitation de carrières actives dans l’optique de création de prairies de fauche. Nous avons réalisé des inventaires phytosociologiques et avons analysé les conditions édaphiques des parcelles créées. Des analyses de la composition taxonomique et fonctionnelle des communautés végétales ainsi que des analyses multivariées comparant les prairies créées avec des prairies de fauche de référence ont été réalisées. Elles ont permis de définir quelles modalités de création montrent le meilleur succès de restauration et quelles sont les différentes stratégies de fonctionnement empruntées par les communautés créées. Il est apparu que les terres de découverture d’origine agricole abritent les conditions requises pour recréer des prairies de fauche lorsqu’un semis de graines composées majoritairement de Poaceae est pratiqué. Si la création de prairies de fauche est moins envisageable sur les autres remblais, ils peuvent toutefois procurer des services écosystémiques intéressants, préserver le patrimoine génétique des espèces de prairies de fauche à une échelle locale ou participer au renforcement de populations d’espèces en danger. While hay meadows are in decline in Wallonia, quarries offer opportunities yet poorly explored for the development of this habitat. Parcels were created following different methods in two Walloon quarries (Hermalle-sous-Huy and Marche-les-Dames, Belgium) as part of the Life in Quarries project. The backfill materials that were used for the creations were overburden (part of the soil between the surface and the rock), sludge from settling ponds, lime wastes and stony materials. We monitored the created parcels in order to highlight the possibilities provided by different backfill materials for the creation of hay meadows. We carried out phytosociological inventories and we analysed the edaphic conditions in the created parcels. We analysed the taxonomic and functional composition of plant communities and we carried out multivariate analyses comparing the created grasslands with reference grasslands. This allowed us to assess which methods of creation show the best restoration success and which functional strategies were used by the created communities. We found that overburden are suitable for the creation of hay meadows when the sowing material is mainly composed with Poaceae. While the creation of hay meadows is less conceivable on the other backfill materials, they can provide valuable ecosystem services, preserve the genetic heritage of hay meadow species on a local scale or help to strengthen endangered species populations.

Rather than theoretical or abstract, above all else, this monograph endeavors to serve as a practical guide, a handbook for helping us navigate a dark terrain. It neither presumes to examine the sources of evil nor suggest radical cures. These pages strive only to continue the process of naming the signs of individual evil that we might recognize these persons before they inflict even more damage. Scott Peck says it best. “If evil were easy to recognize, identify, and manage, there would be no need for this book.” Of course, he was referring to his own pioneering treatise; given the realities of our day, the need remains as great as ever.
