"It makes me feel happy that we did it and what came out of it": Recent research into the association of heritage participation with wellbeing
This paper explores insights from recent Historic England-funded research (Lewis et al. 2022; Pattinson et al. 2023) into how and why heritage participation is associated with wellbeing. The research involved thematic analyses of in-depth post-participation interviews with 35 adults who had volunteered on activities funded to support heritage sites previously deemed to be 'at risk'. This paper reviews the six overarching key themes identified as …
Volunteering on Heritage at Risk sites and wellbeing: A qualitative interview study
INTRODUCTION: We explored experiences of volunteering in Heritage at Risk (HAR) projects, intended to mitigate the deterioration to historic assets, and the relationship with wellbeing. We aimed to understand the value of HAR to volunteers' wellbeing and relationships between HAR programme characteristics such as location, asset type and type of activity. METHODS: We used a qualitative design with semi-structured interviews of a purposive sample …
Exploring the impact of participative place-based community archaeology in rural Europe: Community archaeology in rural environments meeting societal challenges
This paper reviews the aims, context, approach and early outcomes of a new transnational participative archaeology project focussed on rural village communities. ‘Community Archaeology in Rural Environments Meeting Societal Challenges’ (CARE-MSoC) includes three European countries where participative community archaeology is new- the Czech Republic, the Netherlands and Poland. CARE-MSoC aims to explore the feasibility, value and impact of excavat…
New light on an old problem: Child-related archaeological finds and the impact of the ‘Radburn’ council estate plan
This paper uses new data from archaeological excavations to explore the effectiveness of the “Radburn” layout used in many post-war social housing estates in the UK, the name referring to a design modelled on Radburn in New Jersey in the United States. Their design aimed to provide healthy living environments for less-affluent families by fronting homes onto communal pedestrianized “greens”, enabling people to circulate and children to “play out”…
Domesday Book and the transformation of English landed society, 1066–86
This article presents the first fruits of a long-term project which aims to identify all the landholders named in Domesday Book, and to build up a picture of English landed society before and after the Norman conquest. The first part describes the project's methods and illustrates them with a selection of short profiles of individuals whose careers add distinctive colour to the emerging picture. The second offers firstly an analysis of the social…
Disaster recovery: New Archaeological Evidence for the Long-Term Impact of the ‘Calamitous’ Fourteenth Century
Archaeological Excavation and Deep Mapping in Historic Rural Communities
This paper reviews the results of more than a hundred small archaeological “test pit” excavations carried out in 2013 within four rural communities in eastern England. Each excavation used standardized protocols in a different location within the host village, with the finds dated and mapped to create a series of maps spanning more than 3500 years, in order to advance understanding of the spatial development of settlements and landscapes over tim…
Cooler than a trip to Alton Towers’: Assessing the Impact of the Higher Education Field Academy, 2005–13
The Higher Education Field Academy (HEFA) is a University of Cambridge ‘Widening Participation’ programme designed to raise educational aspirations, enthusiasm, and attainment amongst teenagers through participation in archaeological excavation. Setting up, running, recording, and writing up a 1 m2 excavation which contributes to university research is structured into a varied and challenging scheme of assessed work in which learners develop and …
The Landscape Archaeology of Anglo-Saxon England
The Anglo-Saxon period was crucial to the development of the English landscape, but is rarely studied. The essays here provide radical new interpretations of its development. Traditional opinion has perceived the Anglo-Saxons as creating an entirely new landscape from scratch in the fifth and sixth centuries AD, cutting down woodland, and bringing with them the practice of open field agriculture, and establishing villages. Whilst recent scholarsh…
Landscape Archaeology of Anglo-Saxon England
Children's Play in the Later Medieval English Countryside
This paper presents the preliminary results of an investigation into the extent to which evidence for Late Medieval sub-seigniorial rural children's play might be observable in the archaeological record. It first considers whether children in the Medieval period are likely to have engaged in play, and where they spent their time. Drawing on evidence from a range of disciplines including history, art history, folklore and archaeology it then inves…

New Avenues for the Investigation of Currently Occupied Medieval Rural Settlement: Preliminary Observations from the Higher Education Field Academy
WITHIN THE FIELD of medieval rural settlement studies, especially those involving excavation,currently occupied rural settlements (CORS) have to date been largely neglected in favourof the minority of rural settlements which have become deserted or substantially shrunken. Thisproject aims to help redress that balance in favour of the still-inhabited majority. Small-scale‘test pit’ excavations within thirteen CORS in eastern England were carried o…
The New Middle Ages
The economic and social history of medieval England has been a notably animated scene for more than thirty years, since M. M. Postan provided a powerful model of surging growth in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, catastrophic demographic crisis in the fourteenth, and economic stagnation in the fifteenth.1 The historiography of the period is rich and varied; the academic debates lively and productive; the field crowded with textbooks; and the…
