Introduction to international relations
This book is intended as an introduction to international relations. It provides a manageable review of a range of conditions, both historical and contemporary, and intellectual currents that highlight some of the more important changes in contemporary world affairs and continuing debates about its most effective study. The book discusses three 'levels of analysis' that lie within the 'traditional' approach. Through these three 'lenses' it is pos…
The Earliest English Church? A Reconsideration of the Chapel of St Pancras at St Augustine’s Abbey, Canterbury
This paper presents an archaeological reconsideration of the chapel of St Pancras at St Augustine’s Abbey, Canterbury, using published and archival sources from over a century of excavation and archaeological survey. The evidence considered, including previously unpublished elevations and geophysical survey, sheds new light on the chapel’s structure and its context, of which it presents the fullest account yet published. Using all available sourc…
Stones of the Saints? Inscribed Stones, Monasticism and the Evangelisation of Western and Northern Britain in the Fifth and Sixth Centuries
Despite the paucity of written sources for fifth- and sixth-century Britain, there are many inscriptions containing brief texts in Latin or Irish. This paper reinterprets these inscribed stones, showing that, contrary to the universal current assumption that most represent the memorials of secular notables, a much stronger case can be made for understanding them as ecclesiastical monuments associated with the cult of saints. Read in this way, the…
Hagia Sophia
Although many churches in the Orthodox Christian world have been dedicated to Hagia Sophia (“the Wisdom of God”), the most famous was in the center of Byzantine Constantinople, immediately north of the Augusteum and south of Hagia Eirene.
The Byzantine Church of the Nutrition in Nazareth Rediscovered
Although Nazareth has usually been seen by scholars as a relatively minor Byzantine pilgrimage centre, it contained perhaps the most important ‘lost’ Byzantine church in the Holy Land, the Church of the Nutrition ‐ according to De Locis Sanctis built over the house where it was believed that Jesus Christ had been a child. This article, part of a series of final interim reports of the PEF-funded ‘Nazareth Archaeological Project’, presents evidence…
Early roman-period Nazareth and the sisters of Nazareth convent
First discovered by accident in 1884 – and thereafter informally investigated by workmen, nuns and clergy, for several decades – the archaeological site at the Sisters of Nazareth convent in central Nazareth has remained unpublished and largely unknown to scholarship. However, work by the Nazareth Archaeological Project in 2006–10 showed that this site offers a full and important stratified sequence from ancient Nazareth, including well-preserved…
New evidence for the Byzantine Church of the Holy Apostles from Fatih Camii, Istanbul
The Church of the Holy Apostles was one of the most important buildings in Byzantine Constantinople. The mausolea of Constantine the Great (the main imperial burial place until the eleventh century) and of Justinian I were in the complex surrounding this vast cruciform church. Nothing of this complex appeared to have survived its demolition to clear the site of the Ottoman mosque complex of Fatih Camii after 1461. Fieldwork in 2001 recorded walls…
