	Percy Manning’s Archaeological Survey of Oxfordshire by Alison Roberts. Taken from Percy Manning: The Man Who Collected Oxfordshire edited by Michael Heaney. Manning worked on his survey for 18 years but it remained unpublished until after his death. There were many unanswered  questions about the work however, even after publication, which no doubt have contributed to the general  lack of understanding of the scale of Manning’s work or appreciation of the value of  his archive as a research resource. This paper attempts to fill in some of the gaps and consider wider issues regarding the survey, and of Manning’s motivations and methods over the course of nearly two decades in attempting to compile an archaeological survey of Oxfordshire.
	The Lost Undercroft at Ducklington’s Inn and Other Medieval Oxford Tavern-undercrofts in Context by David Clark. Taken from Percy Manning: The Man Who Collected Oxfordshire edited by Michael Heaney. Percy Manning was nine years old in 1879 when a large house at 103 St Aldate’s was demolished to allow Oxford’s new General Post Office to be built. The purpose of this paper is to assess the significance of Manning’s evidence for the history of this undercroft and to set it in the context of the other known undercrofts of the city and elsewhere. In particular the evidence for its use as a tavern is considered.
	The Ancient Skyscape over the Sanctuary of Egyptian Gods in Marathōn by Themis G. Dallas Taken from Liber Amicorum–Speculum Siderum: Nūt Astrophoros edited by Nadine Guilhou with the help of Antigoni Maniati. This paper studies the orientation of the sanctuary of Egyptian Gods in Marathōn and calculates that it belongs to the Equinoctial Group in the classification of Egyptian temples. The author also reproduces the ancient skyscape over the area and associates astronomical phenomena with the major feasts most probably celebrated in that temple.

	Cedar Forests, Cedar Ships Allure, Lore, and Metaphor in the Mediterranean Near East by Sara A. Rich. 2016. ISBN 9781784913656. £36.00. (eBook ISBN 9781784913663. from £15.83 + VAT if applicable) x+280 pages; highly illustrated throughout in colour and black & white. Drawing from object-oriented ontologies and other ‘new materialisms,’ this book constructs a hylocentric anti-narrative spreading from the Cretaceous to the contemporary. With a dual focus on the woods and the watercraft, and on the historical overlap between them, the book takes another step in the direction of challenging the conceptual binaries of nature/culture and subject/object, while providing an up-to-date synthesis of the relevant archaeological and historical data.

The Archaeology of Time Travel Experiencing the Past in the 21st Century edited by Bodil Petersson and Cornelius Holtorf. 2017. ISBN 9781784915001. £38.00. Also to be available in Open Access.
viii+206 pages; illustrated throughout in colour and black & white.
This volume explores the relevance of time travel as a characteristic contemporary way to approach the past. If reality is defined as the sum of human experiences and social practices, all reality is partly virtual, and all experienced and practiced time travel is real. In that sense, time travel experiences are not necessarily purely imaginary. Time travel experiences and associated social practices have become ubiquitous and popular, increasingly replacing more knowledge-orientated and critical approaches to the past.
