Early Islamic North Africa: A New Perspective
This volume proposes a new approach to the Arab conquests and the spread of Islam in North Africa. In recent years, those studying the Islamic world have shown that the coming of Islam was not marked by devastation or decline, but rather by considerable cultural and economic continuity. In North Africa, with continuity came significant change. Corisande Fenwick argues that the establishment of Muslim rule also coincided with a phase of intense ur…
AD536 – Back to Nature
A spate of archaeological, historical and scientific publications have recently argued that the dust veil from a volcanic eruption (or series of eruptions) caused climatic change, which ‘forced’ significant historical transformations in the middle of the sixth century AD. In this paper, I situate this phenomenon within a more general return to environmental determinism in archaeological explanation, a return which itself needs to be understood in…

Facilitating Role of 3D Multimodal Visualization and Learning Rehearsal in Memory Recall
The present study investigated the influence of 3D multimodal visualization and learning rehearsal on memory recall. Participants (N = 175 college students ranging from 21 to 25 years) were assigned to different training conditions and rehearsal processes to learn a list of 14 terms associated with construction of a wood-frame house. They then completed a memory test determining their cognitive ability to free recall the definitions of the 14 stu…
Land and Power from Roman Britain to Anglo-Saxon England
Archaeology, and in particular the study of ceramics, lies at the heart of the interpretive schemes that underpin Framing the Early Middle Ages . While this is to be welcomed, it is proposed that even more extensive use of archaeological evidence - especially that generated through the excavation of prehistoric burial-mounds and rural settlements, as well as the study of early medieval coins - would have produced a rather more dynamic and nuanced…
Archaeology, Theory and the Middle Ages: Understanding the Early Medieval Past
In this important volume of collected essays John Moreland demonstrates the ways in which a theoretically informed archaeology significantly enhances our understanding of the early Middle Ages, and indeed of the past more generally. Beginning from the premise that theory must be worked through in data (since abstract theorising conjures up only a historical pictures of the past), he applies a consistent and contemporary body of theory, broadly ch…
Going native, becoming German: Isotopes and identities in late Roman and early medieval England
Archaeology and Texts: Subservience or Enlightenment
An overview of the relationship between archaeology and history is presented as the context in which to situate the argument that a rapprochement between the disciplines can be achieved only if we begin to think of texts and objects as having had efficacy in the past rather than just as evidence about it. Discussions of the meaning of material culture and the power of texts conclude with the suggestion that historical archaeologists need to be mo…

Objects, identities and cosmological authentication
Frans Theuws's paper reinforces and extends the developing critique of the early medieval economy as structured around gifts and commodities (for the 'orthodoxy', see Hodges 1982 and Hedeager 1993; for the critique, see Moreland 2000a and 2000b; Samson 1991; also Godelier 1999 (1996); and Thomas 1991). In the past, our assumptions about why certain objects were deemed valuable, and why they should have circulated as prestige gifts, have been infl…
George Forrest Browne, Early Medieval Sculpture and Nineteenth-Century Reformation Historiography
George Forrest Browne, as Disney Professor of Archaeology and bishop of Bristol, was one of the I9th century's foremost clerics and archaeologists. These two roles came together in his interpretation of Anglo-Saxon crosses—including that at Bradbourne in Derbyshire. This monument was probably destroyed through the ‘logocentric iconophobia’ of the late I6th and early 17th centuries, a period during which the interior of Bradbourne church was white…

The world(s) of the cross
To fully understand the meaning of early medieval crosses, like the one at Bradbourne (Derbyshire), we have to appreciate their liturgical, apotropaic and liminal roles. With the Reformation, changes in attitudes to the power of images resulted in the destruction of such ‘monuments of superstition’. The fragments of the Bradbourne cross were ‘rediscovered’ in the late eighteenth century and, through the eyes of the antiquarian Hayman Rooke, metap…

Pilgrimage in Ireland: The Monuments and the People. By Peter Harbison
Restoring the dialectic: Settlement patterns and documents in medieval central Italy
In recent years archaeologists appear to have rediscovered history. For many the Annaliste history of Fernand Braudel has proved especially attractive. In this paper it is argued that an overemphasis on the determinism of long-term structures, and the lack of a dialectical relationship between the longue duree and the history of events fundamentally flaws Braudel's enterprise. Drawing upon the work of sociologists and anthropologists like Anthony…
Integration and social reproduction in the Carolingian Empire
Models which stress economic and political factors in empire‐building are limited in their ability to explain the reproduction of these complex socio‐political phenomena; ideological and, more generally, social factors must be emphasized. The Carolingian Empire lacked a sophisticated and overarching administrative and military structure which would ensure elite integration. We argue that the production of a Christian ideological code of order and…

What is Archaeology? An Essay on the Nature of Archaeological Research
Paul Courbin puts forward a penetrating and eloquent critique the New Archeology, a movement primarily American and British archaeologists that began in the 1960s and continues today. The New Archeologists dropped the ae spelling, symbolizing their intent to put the field on a modern and scientific footing. They questioned the bases, the objectives, and consequently the methods traditional archaeology. Courbin examines this movement, its latent p…

Understanding Family Role Reallocation following a Death: A Theoretical Framework
Families in which a parent has died will show a variety of reactions and recovery patterns. This article examines several factors which contribute to this variance. Within the framework of a developmental role analysis of the family system, the influence of the stage of the family life cycle, the roles of the deceased, previous patterns of role allocation, and the type of death are discussed. It is suggested that “person oriented” families, chara…

On Projecting Grue
This paper attempts to place Goodman's “New Riddle of Induction” within the context of a subjectivist understanding of inductive logic. It will be argued that predicates such as ‘grue’ cannot be denied projectible status in any a priori way, but must be considered in the context of a situation of inductive support. In particular, it will be argued that questions of projectibility are to be understood as a variety of questions about the ways a giv…
