This book is available as an open access ebook under a CC-BY licence. Early Anglo-Saxon cemeteries are known for their grave goods, but this abundance obscures their interest as the creations of pluralistic, multi-generational communities. This book explores over one hundred early Anglo-Saxon and Merovingian cemeteries, using a multi-dimensional methodology to move beyond artefacts. It offers an alternative way to explore the horizontal organisation of cemeteries from a holistically focused perspective. The physical communication of digging a grave and laying out a body was used to negotiate the arrangement of a cemetery and to construct family and community stories. This approach foregrounds community, because people used and reused cemetery spaces to emphasise different characteristics of the deceased, based on their own attitudes, lifeways and live experiences. This book will appeal to scholars of Anglo-Saxon studies and will be of value to archaeologists interested in mortuary spaces, communities and social archaeology.
Book Synopsis Kingship, Society, and the Church in Anglo-Saxon Yorkshire by : Thomas Pickles
Download or read book Kingship, Society, and the Church in Anglo-Saxon Yorkshire written by Thomas Pickles and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-11-08 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by studies of Carolingian Europe, Kingship, Society and the Church in Anglo-Saxon Yorkshire argues that the social strategies of local kin-groups drove conversion to Christianity and church building in Yorkshire from 400-1066 AD. It challenges the emphasis that has been placed on the role and agency of Anglo-Saxon kings in conversion and church building, and moves forward the debate surrounding the 'minster hypothesis' through an inter-disciplinary case study. Members of Deiran kin-groups faced uncertainties that predisposed them to consider conversion as a social strategy, in their rule between 600 and 867. Their decision to convert produced a new social fraction - the 'ecclesiastical aristocracy' - with a distinctive but fragile identity. The 'ecclesiastical aristocracy' transformed kingship, established a network of religious communities, and engaged in the conversion of the laity. The social and political instabilities produced by conversion along with the fragility of ecclesiastical identity resulted in the expropriation and re-organization of many religious communities. Nevertheless, the Scandinavian and West Saxon kings and their nobles allied with wealthy and influential archbishops of York, and there is evidence for the survival, revival, or foundation of religious communities as well as the establishment of local churches.

Book Synopsis The Early Anglo-Saxon Cemeteries of East Yorkshire by : Sam Lucy
Download or read book The Early Anglo-Saxon Cemeteries of East Yorkshire written by Sam Lucy and published by British Archaeological Reports Oxford Limited. This book was released on 1998 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of mortuary practices in East Yorkshire from the fifth to the late seventh century BC. The author uses all the available evidence, from well-recorded modern excavations to briefly recorded nineteenth century finds. He believes that exploring the variation in burial rites can tell us more about this society than ' trying to reduce the rite to a single homogeneous entity ...until the advent of Christianity brings a new rite '. The book includes a useful chapter on ' The Anglo-Saxon Myth and the Development of Anglo-Saxon Archaeology '.
Book Synopsis Britons and Anglo-Saxons by : Thomas Green
Download or read book Britons and Anglo-Saxons written by Thomas Green and published by History of Lincolnshire Com. This book was released on 2012 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Britons and Anglo-Saxons offers an interdisciplinary approach to the history of the Lincoln region in the post-Roman period, drawing together a wide range of sources. In particular, it indicates that a British polity named *Lindēs was based at Lincoln into the sixth century, and that the seventh-century Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Lindsey (Lindissi) had an intimate connection to this British political unit. The picture that emerges is also of importance nationally, helping to answer key questions regarding the nature and extent of Anglian-British interaction and the origins of Anglo-Saxon kingdoms.
Book Synopsis Snape Anglo-Saxon Cemetery by : William Filmer-Sankey
Download or read book Snape Anglo-Saxon Cemetery written by William Filmer-Sankey and published by East Anglian Archaeology. This book was released on 2001 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Snape Anglo-Saxon cemetery stands in the Sandlings area of east Suffolk. The first recorded excavations on the site were conducted in 18623 by the landowner, Septimus Davidson and some friends. In trenching the largest barrow they encountered rivets, and by careful excavation were able to reveal the remains of a complete Anglo-Saxon ship burial, the first to be found in England. Although already robbed, they recovered a number of items including a gold Germanic finger-ring, now in the British Museum, which showed that the burial had been of the highest status. Their excavations also revealed a large number of Anglo-Saxon cremation burials. Subsequently the site was almost forgotten until in 1970 a dowser found an Anglo-Saxon urn in the field to the north of the road, and in 1972 a sewer trench excavated along the road yielded a further nine cremations, one in a bronze bowl (published by West and Owles, 1973). In 1985 a research project was initiated under the aegis of the Snape Historical Trust. Excavations have shown the site to be a mixed cremation and inhumation cemetery. Amongst the inhumations, a wide variety of burial practices has been noted, including the use of two, and possibly three, dugout logboats as burial containers. Other graves made extensive use of organics, in some instances of textile, including the first observed use of Rippenköper weave in England (grave 37). The grave-goods were within the normal range of material to be expected in an Anglo-Saxon cemetery, more exotic finds including a lyre (grave 32) and a horse's head with tack (grave 47). Finds show the cremation burials to date from the late 5th to 7th centuries, and the inhumations to date from the mid 6th to 7th centuries. Other features excavated included ring-ditches, some associated with inhumations, and six burnt stone features, apparently surrounding mound 4. This report attempts to publish all the material known to have been excavated from the cemetery although the urns and their contents from the 18623 excavations have become dispersed over the years and many undoubtedly lost. The 1970 and 1972 finds have also been re-examined, re-drawn and are here republished. The final draft of the text was submitted by the authors in May 1998.

Book Synopsis Britons and Anglo-Saxons: Lincolnshire AD 400-650 (Second Edition) by : Caitlin Green
Download or read book Britons and Anglo-Saxons: Lincolnshire AD 400-650 (Second Edition) written by Caitlin Green and published by History of Lincolnshire Committee. This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Britons and Anglo-Saxons offers an interdisciplinary approach to the history of the Lincoln region in the post-Roman period. It is argued that, by using all of the available evidence together, significant advances can be made in our understanding of what occurred. In particular, this approach indicates that a British polity named *Lindes was based at Lincoln into the sixth century, and that the seventh-century Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Lindsey (Old English Lindissi) had an intimate connection with this British political unit. The picture that emerges is arguably of importance not only from the perspective of the history of the Lincoln region but also nationally, helping to answer key questions regarding the origins of Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, the nature and extent of Anglian-British interaction in the core areas of Anglo-Saxon immigration, and the conquest and settlement of Northumbria. This second edition of Britons and Anglo-Saxons includes a new introduction discussing recent research into the late and post-Roman Lincoln region.
Book Synopsis Medieval Childhood by : D. M. Hadley
Download or read book Medieval Childhood written by D. M. Hadley and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2014-08-31 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nine papers presented here set out to broaden the recent focus of archaeological evidence for medieval children and childhood and to offer new ways of exploring their lives and experiences. The everyday use of space and changes in the layout of buildings are examined, in order to reveal how these impacted upon the daily practices and tasks of household tasks relating to the upbringing of children. Aspects of work and play are explored: how, archaeologically, we can determine whether, and in what context, children played board and dice games? How we may gain insights into the medieval countryside from the perspective of children and thus begin to understand the processes of reproduction of particular aspects of medieval society and the spaces where children’s activities occurred; and the possible role of children in the medieval pottery industry. Funerary aspects are considered: the burial of infants in early English Christian cemeteries the treatment and disposal of infants and children in the cremation ritual of early Anglo-Saxon England; and childhood, children and mobility in early medieval western Britain, especially Wales. The volume concludes with an exploration of what archaeologists can draw from other disciplines – historians, art historians, folklorists and literary scholars – and the approaches that they take to the study of childhood and thus the enhancement of our knowledge of medieval society in general.
