Talking About Medieval Ar Lking About Medieval Archaeology L Archaeology Talking about Medieval Archaeology The Society for Medieval Archaeology Careers Day THE PANELLISTS ABBY ANTROBUS, SUFFOLK COUNTY COUNCIL [email protected] The first site I excavated was an Anglo -Saxon cemetery at Lakenheath (1997). I was informed – truthfully – that this was one of the best sites of my career. I went on to study for a BSc in Archaeology at Durham University (1999-2002). After graduating, I worked as a site assistant for Cambridgeshire County Council Archaeological Field Unit. I then returned to Durham for an MA in Historical Archaeology, followed by a PhD supervised by Pam Graves and Chris Gerrard (2004 -8). My thesis was on medieval urbanism , explored through a case-study of the evolution of the landscape and buildings of Bury St Edmunds up to 1220. After submission, I turned to fieldwork as an antidote to the effects of months spent before a computer. I decided to pursue commercial/curator ial archaeology, and have worked for Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service since January 2009, building on my medieval and urban interests whilst at work and at play. I have been involved with excavation, report writing and research, and supervised on a major project to catalogue and digitise the archives from unpublished excavations in Ipswich. Since June, I have been receiving on-the-job training in planning -related archaeology, picking up medieval and church related case-work in particular. It h as been a steep learning curve, with new experiences of GIS, planning guidance, ethical debate, and public relations. It involves engagement with policies and research agendas on local and national levels, and being part of a team that influences what work is carried out, how it is done, how research potential is realised, and how the results should be disseminated. Against a backdrop of a never -ending stream of planning applications, I’m finding the job challenging, varied and satisfying. TERRY BARRY, TR INITY COLLEGE DUBLIN [email protected] My route to a career in archaeology probably started when I was a young teenager living in Kent when I heard o ne of the trumpets found in the spectacular tomb of the young Pharoah, Tutankanem, sounding down the millennia when blown on BBC radio. Soon after this my active involvement in ‘dirt’ archaeology was, like I guess many other people, sparked off by one of m y schoolteachers. I spent at least one summer digging on the site of a medieval motte and bailey that he was excavating in his spare time. Along with several friends we then founded a local archaeological society, and as part of our fieldwork programme we decided to clear the saplings and undergrowth that had obscured the ruins of the now-famous Anglo-Saxon church at Stone -By-Faversham. While we were doing this Sir Eric Fletcher, one of the founders of the Society for Medieval Archaeology, was driving b y on the main road from Canterbury to London and saw us there. As a result of this, an important excavation was conducted on this unique site, during which I had the experience of the legendary Sir Mortimer Wheeler who was wearing a large painter’s hat, u sing my trowel! By now I was hooked on medieval archaeology, but because I had failed the dreaded 11+ exams I found it difficult to get into university. However, the University of Birmingham’s History Department took me in through ‘Clearing’ to do a degree in Medieval and Modern History, a lucky accident for me. I soon discovered Philip Rahtz in the Department, undoubtedly the most gifted field archaeologist I have ever worked with. So as soon as I could, I enrolled for special subjects with him on medieval archaeology. I was also lucky to be part of his excavation team when he examined the Anglo-Saxon defences of Hereford. Interestingly enough, I had also studied American History in Birmingham, and in the final year of my degree I managed to win two scholarships to study in the USA. I chose to go to NYC to study for a MA in US History in Fordham University, which I duly completed in a year. I almost stayed to complete a doctorate on the Federalist era, but after a year in the States now felt even more of a European. As I was really interested in the archaeology of medieval rural settlement I decided to go to Queen’s University Belfast to work under Robin Glasscock on moated sites in SE Ireland. While there I took part in the excavations of Carrickfergus under the late Tom Delaney, and of Dunsilly motte by Tom McNeill. When I finished my Ph.D. in the mid 1970s, like now, there were few academic jobs so I taught History and Politics in Campbell College for just over a year, before a position came up in the Office of Public Works in Dublin, as a state archaeologist. Again, my tenure of this job was very short, just over a year, during which I excavated Dunbeg promontory fort on the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry, the first time I’d dug a Prehistoric site! Luckily for me, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland’s oldest and we think, best university was contemplating offering a degree in Irish Studies in 1978. Unfortunately, due to inter-departmental rivalries this never took place, but one junior lectureship in medieval archaeology, which was tied to the Department of Medieval History was created. This was the job I walked into, and where I still teach. Two years ago Trinity actually started its first programme in Irish Studies! What incredible symmetry. NEIL CHRISTIE, UNIVERSITY OF LEICESTER [email protected] Neil graduated at the University of Newcastle Upon Tyne and then undertook a PhD there on late Roman and early medieval Italy (awarded way back in 1986), before holding a scholarship at the British School at Rome. Subsequently he held post-doctoral fellowships at Newcastle and then at Oxford before finally gaining a full-time academic post at Leicester in the then School of Archaeological Studies in 1992. Since then he has progressed to be Reader in Archaeology. His side jobs include being Reviews and MBI editor for Medieval Archaeology journal; Hon Secretary and Reviews Editor for the Medieval Settlement Research Group; he has served on various grants panels (including AHRC). Fieldwork is a core element to his research and has dug on, directed and co-directed projects in Italy (as well as in Spain) since the 1990s, both excavation and field survey, centred mainly on medieval sites and landscapes. His current fieldwork focus is the AHRC funded Wallingford (Oxfordshire) project, exploring late Saxon to late medieval urbanism; this project (2008-10) employed a Research Officer and funded two PhDs; and an essential element to the project has been its close liaison and partnership with community groups. PATRICK CLAY, UNIVERSITY OF LEICESTER ARCHAEOLOGICAL SERVICES [email protected] After gaining considerable archaeological experience on a wide variety of sites since graduating in History at Lancaster University in 1973, Patrick Clay worked as a site assistant, surveyor, supervisor and Field Officer with Leicestershire Archaeological Unit. On its closure he was joint founder of ULAS in 1995 where he is co-Director. He has directed numerous projects including excavations of round barrows and Iron Age settlements and has published over twenty archaeological reports, his particular interest being prehistoric and alluvial archaeology. In 1996 he completed doctoral research at Leicester University into prehistoric settlement and land-use on the East Midlands claylands. Since 1990 he has managed over 500 archaeological projects including major fieldwork programmes in advance of residential development, road schemes, long distance pipeline projects, gravel quarries and opencast coal extraction. He has acted as a consultant for various organisations including major road improvements in Eire and providing Proofs of Evidence for Public Inquiries. Patrick has served for 6 years on the council of the Institute for Archaeologists and for 5 years as Vice Chair (Standards). DAVID CONOLLY, BAJR [email protected] From the start, I have been a keen archaeologist, beginning at the age of 13 on a cave site in the Wye Valley, through the local archaeology society and then on to university. I soon realized that the academic route was not for me and left to join the York Archaeological Trust as a digger. I picked up skills along the way, and learned from people as varied as photographers, surveyors and illustrators until I was able to use these skills to make myself a useful participant on projects across the Middle East and Central Asia. In the UK I became increasingly concerned about the state of pay for field archaeologists, and after being inspired by the Digger newsletter in 1999 set up BAJR to offer adverts in archaeology. Over time, this allowed me to create pay minima and grading which has been broadly accepted as an industry standard. Most jobs come through BAJR now, and it serves as a seal of approval, as all adverts are vetted prior to publishing. Over the past decade I have been an associate in a medium sized archaeology company and also spent nearly 4 years as a Development Control Archaeologist in a Local Council. I now have a consultancy, work in public archaeology and unionisation in British Archaeology and continue to push forward digital boundaries of heritage communication, including the successful Past Horizons brand. Archaeology should be inclusive and find a place for us all, it has great potential to be a successful career choice, and provide an opening to all those who seek employment in the industry. BAJR will continue to support this over the next decade.

Email: d.m.hadley@sheffield.ac.uk Julian D Richards, Department of Archaeology, University of York, The King’s Manor, York YO17EP, UK. Email: [email protected] This paper presents the results of a multidisciplinary project that has revealed the location, extent and character of the winter camp of the Viking Great Army at Torksey, Lincolnshire, of AD 872–3. The camp lay within a naturally defended area of higher ground, partially surrounded by marshes and bordered by the River Trent on its western side. It is considerably larger than the Viking camp of 873–4 previously excavated at Repton, Derbyshire, and lacks the earthwork defences identified there. Several thousand individuals overwintered in the camp, including warriors, craftworkers and merchants. An exceptionally large and rich metalwork assemblage was deposited during the Great Army’s overwintering, and metal processing and trading was undertaken. There is no evidence for a pre-existing Anglo-Saxon trading site here; the site appears to have been chosen for its strategic location and its access to resources. In the wake of the overwintering, Torksey developed as an important Anglo-Saxon borough with a major wheel-thrown pottery industry and multiple churches and cemeteries.

  • 2008 Martin Carver 'Reading Anglo-Saxon Graves'
    Martin Carver University of York On reading Anglo-Saxon Graves Introduction John Mitchell Kemble, whom we celebrate today, was acknowledged as a prominent if controversial scholar in his own life-time (1807-1857) (figure 1). He remains important to us today not so much for his edition of 1500 Anglo-Saxon charters, or his pioneering account of The Saxons in England, as for the way he made all Anglo-Saxon material matter. ‘I need not tell you how deeply I have at heart the spreading among my countrymen…. [of] a love for these old records’ he remarked, adding ‘without losing the wisdom of our own times’.1 He shows us how the relics of the first millennium - manuscripts, weapons, brooches, pots and graves - can bring relevance to one’s personal life, to contemporary politics and to the human long-term story. That’s already something. Modern historiography, or its archaeological equivalent, seems concerned to strip away the creative output of every previous researcher in order to reveal a hidden agenda, preferably something vaguely unpleasant and reprehensible, such as a lust for products that were not fair trade (slave trade in fact), or an inappropriate fondness for some vice or other. In this case Kemble was held to be the champion of the Teutons and the promoter of a theory of Anglo-Saxon invasion from north Germany which was not at all to the later taste. Bruce-Dickens wrote of his ‘uncompromising Germanism’2 and although Kemble is not actually blamed for starting a World War, Teutonic tendencies are noted by the modern archaeologist with a nod and a wink or a shake of the head.

The chapters explore a range of early medieval inscribed and sculpted stone monuments from Ireland (Ní Ghrádaigh and O’Leary), Britain (Gondek, Hall, Kirton and Williams) and Scandinavia (Back Danielsson and Crouwers). The chapters together show how these themes enrich and expand the interdisciplinary study of early medieval stone monuments, in particular revealing how a range of different inscribed and sculpted stones were central to the creation and recreation of identities and memories for early medieval individuals, families, households, religious and secular communities and kingdoms. Many narratives can be created about early medieval stone monuments (e.g. Hawkes 2003a; Orton and Wood 2007).
