Dear Sam,
I am a new member of the group having joined this year but have been a full-time archaeologist for many years and am currently working for Headland Archaeology, based in Cork in Ireland.
Last year I directed the excavation of a 45-metre wide strip for about 400m through the centre of a deserted medieval village in Co. Kildare, Ireland, in advance of a road construction scheme, finishing site work in December 2007. I would like to submit a report on this to your annual report for 2008 for your consideration. I would suggest a 2000-word report as the site was quite extensive and had quite a lot of idiosyncrasies. I am currently carrying out post-excavation work on it and can easily supply text by the end of May. If you would like to discuss this I can be contacted on (UK) telephone 0207 237 7802, for the next few days, during which time I am reorganizing my broadband internet connection, (although this should be up and running again next week).
I have copied this note to my manager in Cork, so that the archaeologists of the Irish National Roads Authority, our sponsors, may be kept informed.
Regards,
Angus Stephenson

Dear Colleague
This message is to let you know that the deadline for your reports on
exacavation, fieldwork or other research on medieval rural settlements for
this year's MSRG Annual Report will be 30th May 2008. The Annual Report
will cover all aspects of work on medieval rural settlement in 2007. We
believe it is important that the Annual Report's coverage is as wide as
possible, and we are very grateful for your submissions.
Your reports are welcome in the form of:
(a) Short notices, up to 500 words, for the Fieldwork and Excavation
section (please head each site's report with National Grid Ref - County -
Parish - Site Name).
or
(b) Longer articles (word limit currently c.2000 words - please contact me
with any queries).
Black and white photos or line drawings are welcome for both types of
submission.
Our remit covers rural settlement, though reports on related subjects (e.g.
towns, castles, monasteries) may also be included at the editor's
discretion when they relate to rural settlements. Further information about
the MSRG is available here: www.britarch.ac.uk/msrg
I have taken over as editor this year from Carenza Lewis, so please email
your reports to me at [log in to unmask] Please email images as digital
files suitable for printing (preferably TIFFs or jpegs) (if your images are
very large CDs can be posted in envelopes marked 'MSRG Report' to: Sam
Turner, School of Historical Studies, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon

I look forward to hearing from you.
