The Abingdonian 2012 – 2013 Volume XXV No Abingdonian 2013 2 The Abingdonian 2012 – 2013 Volume XXV No. 2 Issue 317 Contents Editorial 2 Head’s Foreword 3 Michaelmas Term 4 Lent Term 30 Summer Term 54 House Reports 94 Staff Farewells 113 1 Editorial The academic year of 2012/13 was one in which Abingdon School both considered its past and looked ahead to its future and this is reflected in the cover of this issue of The Abingdonian. The front shows a selection of items from the online exhibition A History of Abingdon School in 63 Objects, created to mark the 450th anniversary of John Roysse’s bequest in 1563, while the back shows computerised images of the new Science Centre, announced this year, which is due to open in September 2015. The pages within contain a wide range of articles that give a sense of all that went on in another very busy and suc- cessful year. The design team of Henry Cheung, Matthew Gill and Benedict Zeally have worked extreme- ly hard to bring this magazine to fruition, grappling with the intricacies of design software, choosing the right images to illustrate the text, and sorting out all the layout. Thanks go to them, those boys and colleagues who helped with proofreading, and all those who wrote articles. Adam Jenkins Editor 2 Head’s Foreword I always look forward immensely to opening my brand new copy of The Abingdonian when it lands on my desk some time during the Michaelmas Term. Not, of course, that I am surprised these days by the huge range of events described within its covers, for that won’t surprise anyone who knows Abingdon at all well. What I see here brings a smile to my face and a great sense of pride in our boys and their range of interests and achievements. From the youngest to the most senior boys in the School, every sector of our community is represented in some way. There are exceptional achievements here in many spheres of Abingdon life, and there is also a sense of the initiative, individuality and creativity of our boys. It’s fantastic to read. I am sure you will smile too. Felicity Lusk 3 Michaelmas Term The First Day I wake up twenty minutes early and still manage to leave five minutes late. I run as fast as I can (arguably, not that fast!) and find no one at the bus stop. I think I have missed the bus, but after five minutes of checking my watch the first people start filtering in. I nervously look at my feet until the bus arrives. As soon as I get on, I realise that the second years are really, really nice. Luckily, I know a couple of people, but even then I remember being split into our quarter of an hour late as we I didn’t I know that I’d be fine. classes, and lining up in the didn’t realise Mercer’s Court Houseroom.

    The Romans in Worcester A Town and its Hinterland Education Pack Education Pack Welcome The Romans in Worcester resource is intended to align with the national curriculum in England, with the focus on Worcester and its hinterland bringing the wider understanding of Roman Britain closer to home. The resource book provides information for teachers of Key Stage 2 learners, along with accompanying PowerPoint presentations, suggested activities and other resources. There is an accompanying loan box incorporating replica items as well as archaeological finds from the Mab’s Orchard excavation at Warndon, Worcester. The book is laid out with information for teachers shown alongside the relevant PowerPoint slides, to help you explore a variety of themes with your learners. At the start of each chapter and before each activity, we provide a listing of relevant points in the Key Stage 2 programme of study. The understanding of historical concepts, such as continuity and change, cause and consequence, similarity and difference, is a key aim within the national curriculum for history, while the Roman Empire and its impact on Britain (including ‘Romanisation’ of Britain: sites such as Caerwent and the impact of technology, culture and beliefs, including early Christianity) is a required part of the Key Stage 2 curriculum. Therefore we have highlighted key changes and new introductions that took place in the Roman period by marking the text in bold. We hope that you will find this a useful and inspiring resource for bringing archaeology and the Romans into your classroom.

  • A VINDOLANDA JOURNEY by Deb Bennett, Ph.D
    A VINDOLANDA JOURNEY by Deb Bennett, Ph.D. In the Wild Uplands of Northumbria: Once every year since 2002, I have spent a month at Vindolanda, also known as Chesterholm Museum, a wonderfrul historical park in the wilds of northern England. For Americans, describing anything English as “wild” may sound a bit extreme: we think of England as a center of civilization, culture, and urbanity -- not a place to go camping and hiking with scenery such as you might find on the Appalachian Trail or in Yosemite Park. But England is not all London, not all Oxford or Cambridge. The northern part of the country, where it borders on Scotland, was historically known as “the borderlands” -- for centuries a dangerous, politi- cally-contested no-man’s-land laid out on steep scarps, cloven valleys, and high uplands where the only cattle are woolly sheep and the wind whips a wary lookout’s hair. This is a country for pheasant and deer, with beautiful fall colors and fast-running “burns” where trout and salmon leap. The glass-clear tarns and lochs of the Lake District, nearby to the northwest, are part of Britain’s national park system and feature mountain views and world-class fly fishing. Vindolanda sits atop a flat hill within a steep- sided valley. The long stone wall is the actual fort; ruins in the fore- ground are of the village and temple complexes. Visiting Vindolanda is easy: just go to www.vindolanda.com for details. Here almost 2,000 years ago, Roman armies built forts, and later a massive wall, to divide the civilized South from the wild North.

  • Impact Case Study
    Impact case study (REF3b) Institution: University of Oxford Unit of Assessment: 31 Title of case study: Decoding Our Ancient Past: Writing Tablets from Around the World 1. Summary of the impact Research by Classicists at Oxford, led by Professor Alan Bowman, on wooden tablets found at Vindolanda, a Roman fort on Hadrian‟s Wall, has led to the publication of texts that have contributed greatly to public knowledge of life in Roman Britain. This research has been made available to the public at the British and Vindolanda Museums, and through printed and visual media. It has been particularly important in the teaching of Roman Britain and Latin in schools. Bowman‟s collaboration with colleagues in Engineering to develop new techniques, to enable a better reading of the texts of the tablets has received wide publicity, increasing public knowledge of the methods of historical and scientific research. Research by Bowman on a Frisian tablet has also had impact within the Netherlands; in this case providing the benefit of public awareness of the problems of the historical evidence that has been used to construct nationalistic narratives. Jacob Dahl‟s application of the technology, developed in Bowman‟s project to proto-Elamite tablets from south-west Iran has in turn increased public knowledge of attempts to decipher an unknown script and stimulated public engagement with the research. 2. Underpinning research The research (a collaboration between a team at Oxford led by Bowman and a team at Durham led by Professor D. Thomas) consisted in the imaging, reading, and interpretation of wooden tablets excavated at the Roman fort at Vindolanda.

  • Chickens in the Archaeological Material Culture of Roman Britain, France, and Belgium
    Chickens in the Archaeological Material Culture of Roman Britain, France, and Belgium Michael Peter Feider A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Bournemouth University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Bournemouth University April 2017 Copyright Statement This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with its author and due acknowledgement must always be made of the use of any material contained in, or derived from, this thesis. 2 Abstract Chickens first arrived in northwest Europe in the Iron Age, but it was during the Roman period that they became a prominent part of life. Previous research on the domestication and spread of chickens has focused on the birds themselves, with little discussion of their impact on the beliefs and symbolism of the affected cultures. However, an animal that people interact with so regularly influences more than simply their diet, and begins to creep into their cultural lexicon. What did chickens mean to the people of Roman Britain, France, and Belgium? The physical remains of these birds are the clearest sign that people were keeping them, and fragments of eggshell suggest they were being used for their secondary products as well as for their meat. By expanding zooarchaeological research beyond the physical remains to encompass the material culture these people left behind, it is possible to explore answers to this question of the social and cultural roles of chickens and their meaning and importance to people in the Roman world. Other species, most notably horses, have received some attention in this area, but little has been done with chickens.

  • Domesticated Dogs in the Art and Archaeology of Iron Age and Roman Britain
    Kate Smith University of Wales, Newport Ph.D. Thesis 2005 Domesticated Dogs in the Art and Archaeology of Iron Age and Roman Britain Romano-British Bronze Statuette Romano-British Dog Burial from Kirkby Thore, Westmorland from Silchester, Hampshire After Toynbee 1962, Cat. No. 58 After Fulford and Clarke 2002, 366 1· Thesis Summary The Domestic Dog in the Art and Archaeology of Iron Age and Roman Britain This study investigates the symbolic role of the domestic dog in Iron Age and Roman Britain through contextual analysis of their faunal remains and interpretation of their representations in iconography. Previous studies have highlighted linkages between the species and ideas about death, healing and regeneration (Jenkins 1957, Ross 1967, Toynbee 1973, Henig 1984, Green 1992). Although these connections clearly did exist in the cosmologies of Britain and the Western provinces of Rome, this detailed examination of the evidence seeks to identify reasons why this might have been so. The enquiry was also designed to highlight any previously unnoticed patterns in the dataset that might add a further dimension to our understanding of how the domestic dog was perceived at a symbolic level. It has been established for some time that dogs appear in statistically significant numbers, compared to other species, in the special animal deposits that are a feature of certain Iron Age pits (Grant 1984, Wait 1985, Hill 1995). Dramatic evidence for ritual practice involving animals found at a Romano-British temple complex in Springhead, Kent, and comparable finds from both sacred and secular sites, suggest that domestic dogs were also a favoured sacrifice during this period.

The second instalment, to be published in 2011, will contain the remaining Letters and Descripta. I. INTRODUCTION his article is the fi rst of two in which we publish the ink writing-tablets from Vindolanda discovered in the excavation seasons 2001, 2002 and 2003.1 Since we consider the texts Tin the present article to be, in effect, their editio princeps, we have described the article as 1 For assistance of various kinds we are very grateful to the archaeologists at Vindolanda, Andrew Birley (now Director of Excavations) and Robin Birley; and to the journal’s anonymous referees for suggesting improvements. The tablets have now joined their predecessors at the British Museum, where Ralph Jackson, Marianne Eve and James Peters have kindly facilitated our access to them. Charles Crowther, Ségolène Tarte and Myrto Malouta have at various times captured and processed digital scans of the tablets which have proved invaluable.

  • The Vindolanda Tablets, Epistolarity, and Roman Governance
    An Empire of Letters: The Vindolanda Tablets, Epistolarity, and Roman Governance LIZ STANLEY University of Edinburgh Abstract: Around 800 Roman tilia—writing tablets made from folded slivers of wood ve- neer and a little over postcard size—have been found in archaeological investigations at Vindolanda, a Roman fort in northern England. Dated to the period 85 CE to 130 CE, their existence is helping revise knowledge of the Roman letter and the part it played in how military governance was organized, the ways in which personal, public, and military as- pects were interrelated, as well as informing other relationships existing between the occu- pying imperial legions and local Britons. Discussion focuses on four connected areas of inquiry. Firstly, it explores the relationship of the several hundred letters to the many other kinds of Vindolanda writings, for this gives perspective on the boundaries of these different genres and the uses to which they were put. Secondly, it analyzes the many overlaps that exist between what are one-to-one letters and what are public documents, and it considers the significance of this for understanding the legion as a form of familia. Thirdly, it dis- cusses the role that letters and their cognates, and writing and records generally, played in Roman military occupation and rule. The Vindolanda letters had a particular import be- cause their characteristic mode of expression facilitated and enhanced connections between members of the auxiliary cohorts, in ensuring that the performance of military duties oc- curred in the context of familia-like bonds, and for this to permeate beyond the letters, to the life-and-death activities of soldiering involved.
