    Abstract:
    The neutron-activation analysis of prehistoric pottery samples taken from a recently excavated Halaf-culture site in eastern Syria has revealed that this site was involved in a complex pottery-trading network that embraced several other Halaf sites in this area. Trade in Halaf painted pottery seems to have been a highly structured activity, with certain Halaf sites functioning as regional pottery production and trading centers. Using activation analysis it has been possible not only to recognize pottery-trading patterns, but also to locate the geological sources for some of the clays used in Halaf pottery making.

    Minor archaeological works completed at Wellmeadow Street, Paisley between 2017 and 2018 have identified evidence of prehistoric activity in the centre of the city. Comprising a single prehistoric feature and a shafthole stone, the finds from these works demonstrate the importance of archaeological mitigation, even in areas of low expectation.
