Early Islamic North Africa
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…
Morgawr
This paper reports on the construction of a full-scale Bronze Age-type sewn-plank boat based on the Ferriby boats. The boat, which was named Morgawr, was constructed in the National Maritime Museum Cornwall in Falmouth, England, during 2012 and the first months of 2013, as part of a larger exhibition in the museum. This paper provides the background and context of the project, describes the process of building the craft, and reflects in particula…
Seafaring and Riverine Navigation in the Bronze Age of Europe
This article studies the connectedness of Europe during the Bronze Age, which was complemented by the existence of seafaring and riverine navigation. It outlines the state of knowledge of this form of travel, and studies the direct evidence provided by a small number of wrecks and a larger body of iconographic representations of boats and ships. The article also provides an overview of some of the available sources. It, furthermore, discusses the…
Organic Loss in Drained Wetland Monuments
The recent installation of land drains at Star Carr, Yorkshire, UK, has been linked with loss of preservation quality in this important Mesolithic buried landscape, challenging the PARIS principle. Historically captured organic carbon, including organic artefacts, is being converted to soluble organic compounds and less soluble carbon gases. At the same time sulphur and nitrogen compounds are oxidized to species that are chemically destructive of…
Conceptualising climate change archaeology
Archaeology claims a long tradition, going back to the middle of the nineteenth century, of undertaking both palaeoclimate research and studies on the impact of past climate change on human communities (Trigger 1996: 130-38). Such research ought to be making a significant contribution to modern climate change debates, such as those led by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC); but in practice this rarely happens (e.g. McIntoshet al…
The Archaeology of Islands
Excavations at Le Mura di Santo Stefano, Anguillara Sabazia
La relazione presenta i risultati degli scavi condotti tra il 1977 e il 1981 presso le imponenti rovine note come Le Mura di Santo Stefano, situate vicino Anguillara Sabazia, appena 3 km a sud del Lago di Bracciano. La fase più antica di occupazione era relativa ad una fattoria di I secolo d.C. Intorno al 200 d.C. viene costruita una serie di strutture, compreso un edificio a pianta rettangolare su tre piani copiosamente decorato con diciannove t…

Argonauts of the North Sea - a Social Maritime Archaeology for the 2nd Millennium BC
This paper aims to offer a new analysis of the social dimensions of seafaring in the 2nd millennium BC and a consideration of the role of seafaring in (re)creating the social order at the time through its economic, sociopolitical and ritual significance. It revisits the sewn-plank boats from Ferriby, Kilnsea, Dover, Calidcot, Testwood Lakes, Goldcliff and Brigg, and aspects of the way in which seafarers signified themselves and their world throug…
An ancient seascape
The social context of prehistoric seafaring remains poorly understood and, conversely, the significance of seafaring in exchange networks and the perception of seascape in the early Bronze Age are under-explored. This paper approaches seascapes as the synergy of maritime and landscape archaeology, and offers a new perspective on the social context of seafaring in the early Bronze Age. Around 2000 cal. bc, a new type of boat appears in the British…

New AMS radiocarbon dates for the North Ferriby boats—a contribution to dating prehistoric seafaring in northwestern Europe
A new series of radiocarbon measurements on three sewn-plank boats from North Ferriby, Yorkshire, has provided consistent new dating for these craft, which suggests that the appearance of such boats may fall in the early Bronze Age
In situ preservation as a dynamic process
In situ preservation is a complex and dynamic process, which requires an understanding of the nature and scale of the material to be preserved, an understanding of the context of the site in terms of managerial needs and a programme of scientific monitoring of changes within the burial environment. The example of a rural archaeological landscape in northeast England, which is undergoing a programme of hydrological management, is considered

The ‘Kilnsea-boat’, and some implications from the discovery of England's oldest plank boat remains
A single plank with integral cleats, recently discovered on the East Riding of Yorkshire coast at Kilnsea, has been identified as a fragment of a Bronze Age plank boat, and dated to 1870–1670 BC. This makes the ‘Kilnsea-boat’ England's oldest dated plank built boat

Three men and a boat
In August 1939 I drove from Cambridge with Hector and Nora Chadwick to see the Sutton Hoo dig. Phillips and Chadwick had never met and both were slightly apprehensive. The encounter turned out to be a great success. As we were leaving Chadwick said to Charles ‘It's the grave of King Rædwald you know. I've no doubt of that.’ Glyn Daniel (address given at the funeral of Charles Phillips at Teddington on 2 October 1985)
The context of Early Medieval barrows in western Europe
In the early Middle Ages there was a short period when prehistoric burial mounds were reused and new barrows constructed over much of western Europe. This is interpreted as an expression of opposition to the new Christian ideology, in a time of social changes in the distribution of power and property
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…
