Sources of Knowledge; Cultures of Recording
Medieval historians no longer work simply from texts, if indeed they ever did; but certainly now there is an almost universal commitment among those exploring the medieval centuries to an approach that unites texts and material culture, together increasingly with evidence from the biological and physical sciences.Individual historians choose their particular mix to work with, and those specializing in texts, whether as editors or interpreters, ri…

How Much Trade was Local, Regional and Inter-Regional? A Comparative Perspective on the Late Antique Economy
One question lies at the heart of a fundamental debate in the study of the Roman world in Late Antiquity, namely whether the economy was essentially driven by state demand or the workings of the market. Although the growing volume of archaeological data has allowed a richer and more complex picture of the late antique economy, the fact that it can be harnessed by one side as well as the other, means that the debate itself has moved little further…
Theodosius II
Britain after Rome
Robin Fleming has written a very successful and, it should be stressed, important book. To write a history of Britain from the Romans to the late eleventh century that will be intellectually stimulating and accessible to a non-professional audience is a challenge of itself, but it is made particularly daunting by the existence of James Campbell’s The Anglo-Saxons, co-written with Patrick Wormald and Eric John in 1982, which stands as a model intr…
Early Medieval Byzantium and the End of the Ancient World
To talk of the Roman empire after 600 as Byzantine carries the implication that something fundamental had changed. Clearly the empire was much smaller, but was it also distinct as a social system? Did the Roman aristocracy adapt and survive in the seventh and eighth centuries, or did a new elite emerge? Did those farming the empire's fields notice any difference? A combination of familiar texts and material evidence from archaeology supports a ca…

Decline and Fall? Studying Long-Term Change in the East
With ‘decline and fall’ no longer a satisfactory model for long-term change in the Late Antique Near East (400-800 A.D.), attention has shifted to alternatives, here dubbed the ‘Fiscal’ model and the ‘Intensification and Abatement’ model. In the light of new evidence which makes the fiscal model less persuasive, that of intensification and abatement is attracting growing attention. However, its practical application will require the sort of longt…

The Oxford University/British Institute of Archaeology at Ankara Survey of Medieval Castles of Anatolia (1993)
1993 was the second season of the five-year survey which it is planned will record five castles from the area of the Büyük and Küçük Menderes in western Turkey. Work at the site of Yılanlı kalesi was carried out between 20th March and 28th April. The team members were Dr. Mark Whittow (Director), Hugh Barnes (Surveyor), Katrina Batchelor, Kevin Chesters, Michael Harrington and Penelope Tunbridge. We are extremely grateful to the Department of Ant…
The Oxford University/British Institute of Archaeology at Ankara Survey of Medieval Castles of Anatolia (1992) Mastaura Kalesi
1992 was the first season of the Oxford University/British Institute of Archaeology at Ankara Survey of Medieval Castles of Anatolia. Over the next five years it is planned to survey and record in as much detail as practicable five Byzantine castles in the area of the Büyük and Küçük Menderes river systems in western Turkey. The five castles will eventually be published in a single monograph where they can be discussed as a group and placed in th…
