Independence with others
Despite critiques from inside the discipline of anthropology, the figure of the "lone wolf" anthropologist perdures in the ways sociocultural doctoral students are (and are not) trained. Failure to prepare graduates to engage in substantive interdisciplinary collaboration poorly prepares them for careers inside and outside academia, and limits their capacity to meaningfully apply their research to pressing problems of the day. An increasing share…
Building a Community of Anthropological Practice
The disciplinary contribution of anthropologists employed outside traditional anthropology departments has been a topic of discussion and debate in the field for nearly a century. Alongside industry, nongovernmental, and nonprofit career paths, an increasing number of anthropologists have developed productive research careers outside of academic anthropology departments. The United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), which provides health…
Plague, Climate and Faith in Early Medieval Western Britain
Recently compiled datasets for hillforts and corn-drying kilns in the west of Britain, when subject to chronological analysis using Kernel Density Estimation, show a sharp and lasting fall-off in activity in the later 6th and 7th centuries. We investigate this through the regional and broader evidence for three major paradigms of change at this time: the Justinianic plague, climate change and the growth of Christianity, the last manifested in tra…
A new chronology for the Welsh hillfort of Dinas Powys
Excavated by Leslie Alcock in the 1950s, the inland promontory fort of Dinas Powys is widely cited as a type site for elite settlements of post-Roman western Britain. Alcock's interpretation and dating of the main defences as a Norman-period castle were effectively disproven in the 1990s, but the excavator's original chronology continues to be cited. Here, the authors present a revised chronology, integrating new radiocarbon dates and stratigraph…
Hillforts and Power in the British Post-Roman West
The (re)occupation of hillforts was a distinctive feature of post-Roman Europe in the fifth to seventh centuries ad . In western and northern Britain, hillforts are interpreted as power centres associated with militarized elites, but research has paid less attention to their landscape context, hence we know little about the factors that influenced their siting and how this facilitated elite power. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) provide oppo…
