Religious Transformations in the Middle Ages
L'articolo esplora dal punto di vista archeologico le varie tracce materiali lasciate dalle forme cultuali proprie del Medioevo, colte nei loro aspetti di trasformazioni religiose. L'analisi riguarda contesti pagani, cristiani, islamici ed ebrei, visti attraverso una prospettiva di lungo termine. I concetti base sono quelli di ibridità, resilienza, tempi e traiettorie. Un'attenzione particolare è data al modo in cui credenze, pratiche e identità …

Beyond the Burghal Hidage
This volume, an outcome of a Leverhulme Trust-funded research project, by John Baker and Stuart Brookes, sets out to reconstruct the physical evidence of the Anglo-Saxon military responses to the Viking incursions between the late eighth and the eleventh centuries; and in the process better to outline and to understand the strategies as they changed character from the defensive to the offensive. In this survey of civil defence, the authors adopt …

Trees in Anglo-Saxon England
Della Hooke’s work on the Anglo-Saxon landscape is well known and is distinctive in its historical-geographical approach and use of Anglo-Saxon charters, particularly those with boundary descriptions. Her present book builds on this work but assumes that readers will be familiar with her methodology, and so the limits of the study are not always clear. The dependence, for example, on the charter material (and to a lesser extent Domesday) restrict…
The Changing Monastic Cloister
Excavations in the south range of the cloister of Bordesley Abbey have produced an unusual sequence. The construction scheme of the buildings to the south of the cloister arcade—centring on the refectory and kitchen—was piecemeal and took over two hundred years, from the later twelfth to early sixteenth centuries. At an early stage the range included timber (which may have been part of the original temporary structures) and stone buildings. In th…

Aelfric's Abbey
The Bordesley Abbey Project Reviewed
The Bordesley Abbey Project has widened its horizons as it has developed, linking the core excavation of the abbey church with archaeological fieldwork, both in the outer court and beyond the precinct boundary on the abbey's granges, and with architectural and documentary research. Exceptional preservation is the key to Bordesley's importance—the survival of its precinct as a complete set of earthworks and of the unusually deep and complex strati…

Medieval Farming and Technology
This is the first of three planned volumes which deal with the techniques and technology of agriculture in Europe in the period from 600 A.D. down to the 17th century. The focus of this first volume is Scandinavia, the British Isles, Northern Germany, the Low Countries and Northern France. The volume discusses methodological approaches and their limitations, the development of medieval agriculture in terms of the transmission of technological ide…

Towns and Town Hierarchies in Saxon England
The extent to which archaeological evidence can be used to identify and account for an urban hierarchy in England between the eighth and eleventh centuries AD is assessed in this article. Using the later medieval evidence as a control, it is suggested that the archaeological data could be used not only to compare the relative condition of towns but also to reconstruct the general economic trends which may have been responsible for emphasising dif…

Excavation of Prehistoric, Roman, and Saxon Deposits at Wraysbury, Berkshire
This report is concerned with a sampling excavation of Bronze Age, Roman and late Saxon/early medieval settlement traces near the church at Wraysbury, Berkshire. The most extensive evidence is for an agricultural settlement of the late ninth to twelfth centuries A. D. based on a series of ditched enclosures and trackways. The settlement moved location during the eleventh century. The environmental evidence is particularly important. A large fauna…
The Countryside of Medieval England
Archaeology and the smaller medieval town
The small medieval town has recently captured the attention of historians, geographers and archaeologists. Documentary work is, for example, not only disentangling the fluctuating history of local markets, but also demonstrating that, despite their small size, seignorial boroughs of the later thirteenth century had a diverse occupational structure that entitles them to be regarded as genuinely urban. Indeed, Hilton has recently argued that as muc…
Archaeology, Economics and Early Medieval Europe
This paper assesses the contribution Richard Hodges has made to the archaeological study of the early medieval economy. After a review of methodology, three themes are considered: reciprocal exchange; the emporia; and regions and markets. The nature of exchange may be more complex, and more difficult to characterise, than Hodges allows. It is argued that the role of the king in exchange has been exaggerated, particularly with regard to Dorestad, …
