NEWS
New Journal on Cave Research
The first issue of a new journal,
Studies in Speleology,has recently
appeared. Published by the Association of the William Pengelly Cave
Research Centre, it will be devoted
to articles on cave study and conservation and new methods and results of research, with particular
emphasis on the encouragementof
conservation.The Association,with
headquarters in London, was
formed in 1962 to provide support
for establishing a teaching and research center at a site in Devonshire, a disused limestone quarry
containing the entrances to five
caves of considerable scientific interest. Appropriately, the association was named for William Pengelly, a Devonshire geologistof the
nineteenth century, one of the pioneers of scientificcave excavation,
whose careful work greatly advanced both geological and archaeologicalknowledge.
The new journal aims to provide
a link between those interested in
the exploration of caves and those
concerned with related scientific
studies. Among the articles appearing in Part 1 of the first volume are
several of interest to students of
archaeology and anthropology:
Gamble's Cave, Kenya, by L. S. B.
Leakey; Borneo Caves, by Tom
Harrisson (see also Archaeology
14 [1961] 23-30); The Study and
Interpretation of ArchaeologicalDeposits in Caves, by Andree Rosenfeld; and The Lava Caves of Mount
Suswa, Kenya, by P. E. Glover
and others.
Membershipin the Associationof
the William Pengelly Cave Research Centre, which includes a
subscription to Studies In Speleology,is $3.00 per year. Application
