Balanced design, differences in results using anova and lmer/anova

Not sure --- never sure with this stuff! :-) --- but I think that  
your problem
might be (at least in part) that the coding for block is repeated within
each location.  Block 1 in location 1 is *not* the same as block 1 in  
location 2;
this is what nesting in effect means.  The structure of lmer()  
requires that
this be acknowledged explicitly.  You have a total of 8 blocks ---  
four in location 1
and four in location 2.  Code them as 1, ..., 8 and not as 1, ..., 4  
repeated.

Give this a go and see if it helps.

	cheers,
