GC-QTOF MS data from four Hebridean Neolithic crannogs (Loch Langhabat, Loch Bhorgastail, Loch Arnish and Loch an Duna) as well as four sediment samples from Loch Bhorgastail

Collection of 3D scanned items, drawn from the Blandford collection, held by the University of Bristol. Curator Tamar Hodos. Items in .obj format. Item numbers drawn from spreadsheet, included. Digitised as part of the Digitally Present and Engaged project, with the kind support of UKRI.

We created a workshop on inference and scientific methodology, which we ran twice with scientists at University of Bristol. We conducted two studies, using questionnaires before and after the workshops to learn (1) whether attendees find the workshop beneficial, and (2) how to improve the workshop.

Collection of images drawn from 'deaf press' publications, i.e. publications produced either by, or for, deaf people, in the UK, in the late 19th and early 20th century. Images focus on deaf community interests, people, activities, sports, clubs, buildings, church life, and language. Press publications are particularly (although not exclusively) associated with the Royal Association for Deaf people and its missioners.

Collection of postcards containing images from the late 19th and early 20th century, focusing on deaf community people, life, worship and sign language. Postcards are particularly associated with London, and with the early work of the Royal Association for Deaf people.

Mémoires of the life and work of the Rev. F. W. G. Gilby, a chaplain of the Royal Association in Aid of the Deaf and Dumb, London, from 1888 until 1917/18.

This dataset is the FindMyPast Yearly N-grams and Entities dataset. It contains the secondary data for the paper "Content Analysis of 150 Years of British Periodicals". It contains the yearly time series for the 1,000,000 most frequent 1-, 2-, and 3-grams from the corpus described in the paper, the yearly time series for the 100,000 most frequent named entities linked to Wikipedia and the list of articles and newspapers used from FindMyPast in the study.

The transition from hunter-forager-fishing to Neolithic farming is arguably one of the most significant transformations in our prehistoric past, having a profound and lasting impact. The Northwest European archipelago, far from the cradle of agriculture in the Levant, displays elements of the Neolithic package only by ca.4000 BC. Evidence from coastal locations raised the intriguing possibility that Mesolithic fishing practices were abruptly replaced by terrestrial resources shortly thereafter. Our investigation of organic residues from >1000 prehistoric vessels, re-evaluated collagen stable isotope and archaeozoological data, demonstrates conclusively that marine foods were rapidly neglected being instantly replaced by widespread dairying. The data comprises the archaeological GC and GC/MS runs.
