Mawgan Porth lies c 55m from the sea on the northern slope of the Vale of Lanherne near the North Cornish coast and faces south on to the floodplain of the River Menalhyl. Excavations in 1950-52, 1954 and 1974 uncovered three distinct, but similar, groups of buildings known as courtyard houses and a cemetery, all containing evidence of a date of occupation between c AD 850 and 1050. Each courtyard group comprised a long main room along one side, with a partitioned end for livestock, several smaller rooms or walls around the remaining sides, and a narrow entrance. The living area of the main room included a hearth and various vertical slab features and wall cupboards. Traces of earlier buildings and occupational materials were found beneath the courtyard houses. The cemetery contained adult and child burials enclosed in slab graves. Pottery from the excavations forms a homogenous group with distinctive forms and fabric, partly inspired by the bar-lug tradition of Scilly and Cornwall with possible derivations from similar devices on contemporary Continental pottery. Other finds included simple stone tools made from local and regional materials, an abundance of perforated local slates, a few bone artefacts, iron traces, and a silver penny of Aethelred the Unready, struck between AD 990 and 995 (from a small room in Courtyard House 1). Associated animal bones indicate a domestic economy, supplemented by shell fishing. Abandonment, and possibly resettlement inland at St Mawgan, appears to have been caused by difficult sandy and windy seashore conditions.

Featuring brilliant art, engaging new case studies, and dynamic new teaching and learning resources, this 9th edition of Porth’s Pathophysiology: Concepts of Altered Health States is captivating, accessible, and student-friendly while retaining the comprehensive, nursing-focused coverage that has made it a market leader. The book’s unique emphasis on “concepts" of altered health states, as opposed to factual descriptions of diseases and disorders, helps students grasp both the physical and psychological aspects of altered health. Drawing on the expertise of new co-author Sheila Grossman, the Ninth Edition maintains its comprehensive depth, while paring down content where appropriate and replacing descriptive content with striking art. (Approximately 600 illustrations are new or have been re-rendered in a consistent modern style.) Also new to this edition are advanced 3D narrated animations that address the most clinically relevant and difficult to understand disorders, engaging unit-opening case studies that reinforce critical thinking and set the tone for the content to come, and a wide range of built-in study tools. Now, for the first time, Porth’s Pathophysiology is supported by PrepU, an adaptive learning system that help students learn more, while giving instructors the data they need to monitor each student’s progress, strengths, and weaknesses.
