Investigating the Palm Oil Supply Chain at Oxford Brookes University's Headington Campus in Order to Examine the Geographies of Sustainable Palm Oil Production
No full textExploring the presence/absence of palm oil in Oxford Brookes’ Headington Campus restaurants, assessing the sustainability of its sources, and examining the wider procurement policy implications.
This paper aims to understand the presence/absence of palm oil in Oxford Brookes’ Headington Campus restaurants, assess the sustainability of its sources and examine the wider procurement policy implications. Oxford Brookes was the first ‘fair trade university’ in 2003, and has a commitment to sustainability. The lack of literature on traceability of palm oil demands research to better understand the palm oil supply chain in UK organisations such as universities. Palm oil is in over 50% of prepared food in the UK and is the most produced and consumed vegetable oil in the world (WWF, 2017). Palm oil has serious effects on the environment and ecosystems in regions where it is produced, and a number of organisations exist with varying aims and requirements on sustainable palm oil. Firstly, this research will trace the palm oil in the Oxford Brookes’ supply chain and identifying the geographic region from where the palm oil was sourced and whether it is sourced sustainably or not. Secondly, the presence/absence of sustainable and conventional (i.e. non-sustainable) palm oil in the Oxford Brookes supply chain will be explained. Here, things to explore include why Oxford Brookes has a sustainable policy, whether the university has chosen to reduce palm oil from their supply chain and source from other vegetable oils. Data will also be obtained from semi-structured interviews with the suppliers and Brookes Procurement. This paper will highlight the lack of transparency in the palm oil supply chain and explore organisations in place that aim to increase traceability
Anglo-Saxon Kent Electronic Database (ASKED)
No full textThe Anglo-Saxon Kent Electronic Database (ASKED) is a collaboratively built research tool, developed to facilitate the doctoral research of two students of the UCL Institute of Archaeology: Stuart Brookes, investigating state formation in Anglo-Saxon East Kent, and Sue Harrington, examining aspects of gender and craft production in early Anglo-Saxon England with particular reference to the early kingdom of Kent. The aim of ASKED was to enumerate all those individuals within eastern Kent for the period AD 400-750 for whom there is archaeological burial evidence. The project produced a comprehensive electronic register of the archaeological remains and material culture of these populations, thus providing for the first time a searchable corpus of this information. The database lists 52 cemeteries from eastern Kent, as well as the inhumations and objects interred within. Information for these burials is derived from published reports and the inspection of museum archival material

The Routes and Roads of the Gough Map: GIS Database
No full textThis collection comprises image, text and GIS data from The Routes and Roads of the Gough Map project undertaken by Eljas Oksanen, Department of Cultures, University of Helsinki and Stuart Brookes, UCL Institute of Archaeology, between 2015 to 2024. The project maps the red lines and the settlements they connect on the Gough Map, and matches them with routeways reconstructed from documentary, archaeological, place-name and other historical cartographic evidence
Chapter 10: Fires over England—Sources for and Functions of Viking Age Signalling
No full textBeacons and lookouts played a key role in the networks of local and regional communications of Anglo-Saxon England during the Viking Age (A.D. 800–1100). While the large fortified centres of the period are well known, the nature of interconnections between them and smaller-scale local arrangements have only recently received attention. Place-names, written evidence and landscape archaeology together allow for the reconstruction of elements of signalling and sighting systems. This contribution presents the historical context within which beacons and lookouts developed, and draws upon a series of case studies to reveal local systems of communication in the landscape of Anglo-Saxon England
