The Antikythera Survey Project
No full textThe Antikythera Survey Project (ASP) was an interdisciplinary programme of fieldwork, artefact study and laboratory analysis that addressed the long-term history and human ecology of the small Greek island of Antikythera. It was directed by Andrew Bevan (University College London) and James Conolly (Trent University, Canada), in collaboration with Aris Tsaravopoulos (Greek Archaeological Service), and under the aegis of the Canadian Institute in Greece and the Hellenic Ministry of Culture. Its four main external funding agencies were the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council, the British Academy, the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada and the Institute for Aegean Prehistory

Intensive survey data from Antikythera, Greece
No full textThe Antikythera Survey Project was an interdisciplinary programme of fieldwork, artefact study and laboratory analysis that considered the long-term history and human ecology of the small Greek island of Antikythera. It was co-directed by Andrew Bevan (UCL) and James Conolly (Trent), in collaboration with Aris Tsaravopoulos (Greek Archaeological Service), and under the aegis of the Canadian Institute in Greece and the Hellenic Ministry of Culture. Its various primary datasets are unusual, both in the Mediterranean and beyond, for providing intensive survey coverage of an entire island’s surface archaeology
The Origin and Spread of Neolithic Plant Economies in the Near East and Europe
No full textThis database contains information collected during the AHRB-funded project "The Origin and Spread of Neolithic Plant Economies in the Near East and Europe", directed by Stephen Shennan (UCL) and James Conolly (UCL, now Trent University, Canada) with collaboration from James Steele (UCL) and Sue Colledge (UCL). The dataset consists of four tables: (1) sites.csv, which contains the site name [P], country of location and the reference used for creating the data record; (2) phases.csv, which contains the site names [S], a phase code [P], and the broad cultural designation of each phase; (3) samples.csv, containing the phase code [P1], a taxon code [P2] and a field indicating whether the sample is likely contaminated or not; (4) a taxa table linking the taxa code [P/S] to full taxonomic details. The dataset is intended to be used in a relational database, with [P] designating a primary key, and [S] a secondary (linking) key
The career of William Conolly, 1689-1729
No full textTHESIS 8327This thesis focuses on the career of William Conolly (1662-1729). Conolly?s origins are slightly obscure. He was bom in Ballyshannon Co. Donegal but his family?s background is unknown although he and his father were sufficiently important to be attainted by King James? parliament in 1689. He received a legal training and following the Jacobite war he acted as agent to Londonderry Corporation. He also acted as collector of the king?s alnage in the 1690s, a position which introduced him into official circles. From 1692 onwards he sat in the Irish parliament, first for Donegal borough and from 1703 until his death for County Londonderry. Following the Williamite confiscation he emerged as the largest purchaser of forfeited estates, buying substantial estates in Counties Donegal, Kildare, Londonderry and Meath as well as smaller scattered estates across the country
Polyphony and the anxiety of influence in the fiction of Henry James
No full textJames's fiction, especially in the Middle Phase, centres
on the figure of the artist and is characterized by, the two
interrelated aspects which previous criticism has largely
overlooked: the Bakhtinian 'polyphonic' -creation of
'author-thinkers'; and the conflict between ephebes and
precursors, for which Harold-Bloom's concept of 'the-anxiety of
influence' is the most illuminating model. Polyphony is the
narrative mode, and influence is the intra-artistic, theme.
These, as the Introduction to the thesis makes clear, are
rehearsed in James's inaugural novel, Roderick Hudson. Rowland
Mallet is an author-thinker, and his failure is caused by
authorial limitations. His monologism -is impaired by his
mistaking empathy for the authorial sympathy. Likewise,
Hudson's failure does not arise from a mercurial temperament,
but from a polyphonic shortcoming: not possessing the power of
fiction to contain the fiction of power in, his mentor. And the
relationships among the three artists - Gloriani, Hudson and
Singleton - perfectly exemplify the Bloomian-theme. It is these
two concepts, polyphony and influence, which are the major
preoccupation in the Middle Phase; as, the works chosen
demonstrate. These are a novella, a novel, and a number of
short stories all of which have been unjustifiably neglected.
Chapter One, on The Aspern Papers, argues that Tina Bordereau,
far from being, the artless victim seen by many critics,
actually challenges and defeats the narrator by the very form
of her narrative. Her 'realist' discourse undermines his
language of 'romance', and shows up its internal unstability.
Chapter Two is an extensive study of the critical reception of
The Tragic Muse. The most common areas of critical attention
have been its contemporary topicality, its relation to previous
novels on similar themes, and the possible genealogy of Gabriel
Nash. Those have all missed the core of the work. - Chapter Three
demonstrates how polyphony and the anxiety of influence make
the novel what it really is. Influence arises from the
juxtaposition of, and the wrestling between, artistic ephebes
and their precursors (Nick and Nash,, Miriam and Madame Carre).
The dialogic quality defined by Bakhtin is crucial to the
proper, and even-handed, characterization of all, the conflicts
in the novel. And since most of James's tales in the eighties
and nineties -are about 'masters - and acolytes, the anxiety of
influence remains central. Chapter Four is a study of 'The
Author of Beltraffiol' and 'The Lesson of the Master'. Again the
characters' manipulations are a crucial focus in a way that
G6rard Genette's terminology helps to illuminate. The fact that
the ephebe is the author-thinker emphasizes the inextricability
of the Bakhtinian and the Bloomian in James. Just as
polyphony offers a different focus for explicating the poetics
of James's fiction; so the ephebal conflict provides the basis
for a fresh perception of James's own artistic struggle

No full textSuggestions for Amendments of the Laws relating to Private Lunatic Asylums
No full textAny publication on the subject of insanity from an author bearing the name of Conolly, must at all times command the attention of our readers; and a publication on Lunacy Law Reform by the son of our President is, at the present time, most opportune. One can only guess at the direction and manner of the efforts which are likely to be made in the next Session of Parliament, as the expression and consequence of that newspaper agitation against private asylums which took place during the dead months of autumn. Possibly that reform of the legislature itself, which has so long been looming in the distance, but which now begins to shew its outlines, bright if not clear, may overshadow and suffocate the more feeble agitation. Still it is probable that something will be attempted if not effected; and the pamphlet of Mr. Conolly discusses in a plain and temperate manner that which (with the benefit of the excellent advice he has no doubt received) he considers to be the measures of reform most needful and beneficial, and by which he thinks that “all private asylums may be placed under such a system of uniform inspection and visitation, that the detention of sane persons and the ill-treatment of insane patients, would be as efficiently guarded against as in any public institution.”</jats:p
The Origin and Spread of Stock-Keeping in the Near East and Europe
No full textIn western Eurasia the earliest evidence for domestic livestock is dated to c.10,000 cal BP. Farming then spread westwards through Europe over the subsequent millennia, arriving in the far west and north of the continent by c.6,000 cal BP. For decades there have been major debates as to the nature of this spread, with many basic questions still remaining largely unanswered. The objective of this major research project, which was funded for four years by the AHRC from January 2007, was to address these questions. The largest and most systematic survey of published/archived archaeological zooarchaeological data ever undertaken has been carried out in order to re-examine the evidence for the origins of stock-keeping in the Near East and its spread into Europe during the Epipalaeolithic and Neolithic periods, c.12,000 to 6,000 cal BP
