Book Synopsis The Archaeology of the East Anglian Conversion by : Richard Hoggett
Download or read book The Archaeology of the East Anglian Conversion written by Richard Hoggett and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2010 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conversion to Christianity of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of East Anglia left huge marks on the area, both metaphorical and literal. Drawing on both the surviving documentary sources, and on the eastern region's rich archaeological record, this book presents the first multi-disciplinary synthesis of the process. It begins with an analysis of the historical framework, followed by an examination of the archaeological evidence for the establishment of missionary stations within the region's ruinous Roman forts and earthwork enclosures. It argues that the effectiveness of the Christian mission is clearly visible in the region's burial record, which exhibits a number of significant changes, including the cessation of cremation. The conversion can also be seen in the dramatic upheavals which occurred in the East Anglian landscape, including changes in the relationship between settlements and cemeteries, and the foundation of a number of different types of Christian cemetery. Ultimately, it shows that far from being the preserve of kings, the East Anglian conversion was widespread at a grassroots level, changing the nature of the Anglo-Saxon landscape forever. Dr Richard Hoggett is currently Coastal Heritage Officer with Norfolk County Council.

Book Synopsis Power and Island Communities by : Christopher Evans
Download or read book Power and Island Communities written by Christopher Evans and published by East Anglian Archaeology. This book was released on 2003 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A report on archaeological investigations at the site of Wardy Hill which occupied a prominent spur on the north side of the Isle of Ely in the Iron Age. The report outlines the evidence for pre-Iron Age use of the site and focuses in particular on the Middle-Late Iron Age ringwork excavated in 1991-2. Data related to the environmental setting of this site, economic and land-use practices, as well as material culture finds (pottery, metalworking debris, worked stone, beads and spindle whorls, worked bone, and so on) are presented and interpreted in terms of the occupation sequence and activities at the site. Summaries in English, French and German.

Book Synopsis Research and Archaeology Revisited by : Maria Medlycott
Download or read book Research and Archaeology Revisited written by Maria Medlycott and published by East Anglian Archaeology Occas. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This review of Research and Archaeology augments the regional research framework, which appeared in two parts as a Resource Assessment (Glazebrook ed. 1997); and a Research Agenda and Strategy (Brown and Glazebrook eds 2000). The review considers new evidence on a period-by-period basis, with each period subdivided into an assessment of key projects undertaken since 2000, an assessment of progress on research topics proposed in 2000 and a consideration of future research topics. The regional research framework was never intended to be a fixed point but rather a dynamic process through which the region's archaeology can be influenced, and subject to periodic review and revision. All three parts of the framework are available online (at www.eaareports.org.uk) and will be kept live and updated by the historic environment community of the East of England as new discoveries are made and new research priorities established.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive survey of Suffolk Anglo-Saxon material in eighty years, aimed at bringing together the material excavated and published in the early years of the century which has not appeared since, together with the great quantity of material being thrown up since the 1950s - by massive field survey and by metal detectorists for instance - in a consistent fashion, providing a 'one-stop' resource. Arranged by parish, every conceivable artefact is featured, from nails to architectural fragments.
Book Synopsis Wheare Most Inclosures be by : Edward Martin
Download or read book Wheare Most Inclosures be written by Edward Martin and published by East Anglian Archaeology Monog. This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The results of a project carried out from 2000-05 to traces the historical development of field systems in East Anglia. The authors identified 8 land types (with 18 sub-types) and used these to analyse twelve areas in detail, particularly distinguishing between common fields and block holdings. Among their conclusions are that the co-axial fields identified are probably not as old as has sometimes been claimed (i.e. not pre-Roman), that East Anglia can be conveniently divided into two broad zones (with the river Gipping providing the boundary), and that the late Anglo-Saxon period proved to be one of significant change with both agricultural advances and Viking settlement leaving their mark on the landscape.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excavations revealed evidence of a settlement dating from the mid 7th to late 9th centuries. Remains of a wooden bridge and 35 buildings were found, some with timber surviving in post-holes, also a smithy, a possible bakery and two churches. Part of the waterfront was given over to textile processing. Amongst thousands of artefacts, some provided compelling evidence for literacy.
Download or read book Crownthorpe written by Paul R. Sealey and published by East Anglian Archaeology Monograph. This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Crownthorpe hoard was discovered in 1982 during a metal detector search of a Roman temple site. It consists of seven bronze vessels: native copies of two Roman silver wine cups and a spouted strainer bowl, together with an imported Roman saucepan, patera and a pair of dishes. The cups are copies of plain silver vessels of form Eggers 170, and may well have been made in a workshop in Norfolk. They are the only complete examples of insular copies of Roman wine cups from Britain. Copies of Roman wine cups were made in the east of England from before c. 25 BC. Some of these local imitations were inspired by imported cups that have not survived in the archaeological record. Bearing in mind that no imported silver plate is known from late Iron Age Britain after c. 10 BC, insular copies of wine cups show that more silver plate reached Iron Age Britain than we have hitherto realised. Confirmation comes from images of Roman silver cups on Iron Age coins. The spouted strainer bowl was made in a workshop to the south of Crownthorpe, somewhere in the counties north of the lower Thames. Such vessels are an insular type that owed nothing significant to the Roman world. They were used primarily for flavouring local drinks. A corpus of thirty-one such copper-alloy vessels is provided here, including three examples that reached the mainland of Europe. The Roman saucepan in the hoard is an Eggers 151 saucepan of Trau-Kasserolle type. They are rare finds: Crownthorpe is only the fourth example from Britain, and the only complete one. It came from a workshop along the Rhine or Danube frontiers. The patera is Italian and part of a set of hand-washing vessels; the jug that would have been used in conjunction with it was not present in the hoard. The two dishes have tinned inner surfaces and represent a long-lived Roman vessel type. The hoard was assembled at Crownthorpe c. AD 40-75. Relating the hoard to the local context suggests that the date can be narrowed down to c. AD 45-60/61. It was buried by a Briton, a member of the local Icenian elite. The set of vessels at Crownthorpe was used for preparing and serving local ale or mead flavoured with fruit or vegetable additives, and drunk from the cups. Wine amphoras are seldom found in late Iron Age and early Roman Norfolk, and that precludes the use of the Crownthorpe cups for the drink. As there are two cups, we should envisage their use for the host and a guest. The Eggers 151 saucepan was used to ladle the drink into the strainer bowl for its flavouring. Snacks to accompany the drink were served in the two dishes. Hand-washing in the course of these revelries was facilitated by the patera. Burial of the hoard near the site of a later Romano-Celtic temple with no trace of an organic container to facilitate recovery suggests it was votive. Other base-metal utensil hoards from Roman Britain cannot be satisfactorily accounted for as the temporary concealment of portable wealth with the intention of recovery, and strengthen the case for Crownthorpe being votive. No comparable hoards are known from late Iron Age Britain because few copper-alloy utensils were in use then, but we know that the practice of burying such hoards had its roots in a native tradition because single copper-alloy vessels have been recovered from watery contexts in the late Iron Age. Components of the Crownthorpe hoard had been dismantled when it was buried, but it should not be seen as a hoard of scrap metal intended for recycling. It is proposed instead that the termination of the useful working life of the hoard vessels represents an act of renunciation, in this case a repudiation of Icenian dealings with the Roman world that culminated in the calamity of the Boudican Revolt of AD 60-61.
Book Synopsis The Origins of Beowulf by : Sam Newton
Download or read book The Origins of Beowulf written by Sam Newton and published by DS Brewer. This book was released on 1994 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A detailed and passionate argument suggesting that Beowulf originated in the pre-Viking kingdom of 8th-century East Anglia. Where did Beowulf, unique and thrilling example of an Old English epic poem come from? In whose hall did the poem's maker first tell the tale? The poem exists now in just one manuscript, but careful study of the literary and historical associations reveals striking details which lead Dr Newton to claim, as he pieces together the various clues, a specific origin for the poem. Dr Newton suggests that references in Beowulf to the heroes whose names are listed in Anglo-Saxon royal genealogies indicate that such Northern dynastic concerns are most likely to have been fostered in the kingdom of East Anglia. He supports his thesis with evidence drawn from East Anglianarchaeology, hagiography and folklore. His argument, detailed and passionate, offers the exciting possibility that he has discovered the lost origins of the poem in the pre-Viking kingdom of 8th-century East Anglia. SAMNEWTON was awarded his Ph.D. for work on Beowulf.
Book Synopsis The Archaeology of the Essex Coast by : Tony J. Wilkinson
Download or read book The Archaeology of the Essex Coast written by Tony J. Wilkinson and published by East Anglian Archaeology Monograph. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the unusual diversity of archaeological evidence found at the Stumble, views it within its immediate and regional environmental setting and within the context of the archaeological landscape of the region, a landscape that is becoming better known thanks to recent rescue excavations at nearby Chigborough and Slough House Farms. The intertidal site of the Stumble is named after a mud bank in the Blackwater Estuary 700-800m east of the Neolithic site. The site is fully estuarine, being covered at high tide by some 3m of water, and positioned between 10 and 250m from the seaward edge of the saltmarsh. The occupation phases present: earlier and later Neolithic, Early Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman, Anglo-Saxon and post-medieval are all well-represented on neighbouring dry land sites so the excavation of the Stumble, in view of the technical problems involved, requires some justification. Primarily, the types of evidence to be found at this site can usually only be found together on inter-tidal or wetland sites. Hence the Neolithic is represented by an intact land surface strewn with occupation debris and peppered by pits of various dimensions. Neither of these things would have survived the millennia of ploughing that have transformed most inland Neolithic habitation sites into little more than lithic scatters. This virtually intact Neolithic site was occupied during the 3rd millennium BC and a little earlier, when sea levels were significantly lower, so there is no preservation of waterlogged wood on the Neolithic site. Nevertheless, the quantity and quality of remaining inorganic remains is sufficient to justify excavation. The later Neolithic record is of a similar 'dry land' site inundated by a gradually rising sea level, but by the Iron Age the archaeological record had become quite different. Occupation debris, sherds and other artefacts are virtually absent, and instead wooden structures, single or multiple posts, brushwood and interwoven wattles remain. Clearly, at this stage of the Holocene marine transgression the locus of settlement had moved inland beyond the tidal fringe and the evidence from the Stumble must therefore represent activity that took place on salt marshes, along tidal creeks or on the mudflats.
