All Rights Reserved. The End of Roman Britain. Among the provinces long occupied by Rome, Britain retained the slightest imprint of the invading civilization. To explain why this was true, Michael E. Jones offers a lucid and thorough analysis of the economic, social, military, and environmental problems that contributed to the failure of the Romans. Drawing on literary sources and on recent archaeological evidence, Jones disputes the theory that the Anglo-Saxon invasions were the determining agent in the failure of Romanitas .

  • Dynamics of Religious Ritual: Migration and Adaptation in Early Medieval Britain
    Dynamics of Religious Ritual: Migration and Adaptation in Early Medieval Britain A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Brooke Elizabeth Creager IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Peter S. Wells August 2019 Brooke Elizabeth Creager 2019 © For my Mom, I could never have done this without you. And for my Grandfather, thank you for showing me the world and never letting me doubt I can do anything. Thank you. i Abstract: How do migrations impact religious practice? In early Anglo-Saxon England, the practice of post-Roman Christianity adapted after the Anglo-Saxon migration. The contemporary texts all agree that Christianity continued to be practiced into the fifth and sixth centuries but the archaeological record reflects a predominantly Anglo-Saxon culture. My research compiles the evidence for post-Roman Christian practice on the east coast of England from cemeteries and Roman churches to determine the extent of religious change after the migration. Using the case study of post-Roman religion, the themes religion, migration, and the role of the individual are used to determine how a minority religion is practiced during periods of change within a new culturally dominant society. ii Table of Contents Abstract …………………………………………………………………………………...ii List of Figures ……………………………………………………………………………iv Preface …………………………………………………………………………………….1 I.

  • SHEPPARD SUNDERLAND FRERE Photo: © Institute of Archaeology, University of Oxford Sheppard Sunderland Frere 1916–2015
    SHEPPARD SUNDERLAND FRERE Photo: © Institute of Archaeology, University of Oxford Sheppard Sunderland Frere 1916–2015 SHEPPARD FRERE WAS THE LEADING EXPONENT of the archaeology and history of Roman Britain for much of the second half of the twentieth century. His reputation was built initially on his superb archaeological excavation technique, which through a most exacting and meticulous attention to detail was able to extract the maximum information from the smallest and most unpromising of trenches; but this skill was reinforced by a flow of publications of the highest quality, written with forceful clarity and great felicity of expression, many of which will remain ktemata es aei for the discipline. He was also an influential teacher and mentor, whose profound impact has left its mark on a generation of pupils, friends and colleagues. Sheppard was born, the eldest of three brothers, on 23 August 1916 in the west Sussex village of Graffham, near Midhurst, but the family was of Norfolk stock and moved there when Sheppard was still a boy, to the vil- lage of Shimpling on the Norfolk/Suffolk border. His father Noel served first as a District Commissioner, and later as Provincial Commissioner, in Sierra Leone,1 continuing a strong family tradition of diplomacy and over- seas service, of which the best-known ancestor was Sir Henry Bartle Edward Frere (1815–84), who served with distinction in India and in South Africa; but a curiosity for antiquities was also in the blood. Sir Bartle Frere’s grandfather, John Frere, FRS, FSA (1740–1807), for example, was a noted antiquary, as well as being High Sheriff of Norfolk and MP for Norwich.

Notes An Appreciation of R. G. Collingwood as an Archaeologist Stephen Leach ([email protected]) In his short and busy life Collingwood found time to pursue two quite separate careers: as a philosopher and as an archaeologist. In the latter career he followed in the footsteps of his father, William Gershom Collingwood (1854–1932), who as well as being an artist, an historical novelist, and secretary to (and biographer of) John Ruskin, was also an accomplished amateur archaeologist, and a stalwart of the Cumberland and Westmorland Antiquarian and Archaeological Society (Johnstone 1967). Collingwood writes in An Autobiography of growing up in ‘a gradually thickening archaeological atmosphere’ (Collingwood 1939a:80). Robin George Collingwood (1889–1943) is the author of four major archaeological works: Roman Britain (1923); The Archaeology of Roman Britain (1930); Roman Britain and the English Settlements (with J.

Dobbins Prof. Fotini Kondyli Prof. Adria LaViolette ©Copyright by Sean Alexander Tennant All Rights Reserved September 2019 i Abstract In the first century AD, following a period of expansion and conquest that stretched the bounds of its territory to the edges of the known world, the Roman Empire had grown to encompass the frontiers of the Roman northwest, a region which would come to be known as three separate provinces: Gaul, Germania, and the island of Britannia. These areas, at the edge of the Roman world, contained their own populations, replete with distinct cultures, architecture, and ways of life distinct from the cosmopolitan Mediterranean world of their Roman conquerors. Over the course of decades and centuries, indigenous ways of life adapted to and incorporated the advances and technological innovations brought by the Latin invaders. The phenomenon of this cultural change, long referred to by scholars as “Romanization,” is manifest in the archaeological record. Nowhere is this truer than in the architectural remains of the domestic spaces occupied by these provincial inhabitants of the Roman Empire, traditionally grouped together under the umbrella term of “Celts.” Employing a methodology grounded in network theory, the present study applies space syntax analysis to the architectural plans of over 350 domestic sites from the Roman northwest.

  • III Devil's Causeway and Its Post-Roman Influences
    COCWUDU STUDIES 3: A REVIEW OF THE DEVIL'S CAUSEWAY AND ITS INFLUENCE ON POST-ROMAN SETTLEMENT IN COCWUDU ©Rupert Besley, reproduced by permission of the artist. BERNICIAN STUDIES GROUP February 2021 INTRODUCTION: ORIGINS AND SCOPE OF THIS STUDY The Cocwudu Historic Landscape Project is a multi-faceted study of historic landscape in Northumberland, between the valley of the river Coquet in the north and that of the Hart- Wansbeck to the south. This area was identified as an ancient woodland zone by the historical geographer, Emeritus Professor Brian Roberts of Durham University, (Roberts 2015). The name Cocwudu is an early form of the Coquet name and occurs in the 10th/11thcentury Historia de Sancto Cuthberto. One element of study in the project concerns the movement of people through this landscape and the routeways used. Prominent among these is the former Roman road known as the Devil's Causeway. Deb Haycock has carried out and written this study of the Devil's Causeway with three aims: ● to review the sources of information and the scholarship concerning this road; ● to assess its context within the Roman period; ● to assess its continuing influence on both movement and settlement pattern in later periods of history. Her study concludes with pointers towards directions for future research on the road and its setting. CONTENTS 1: Why the name Devil's Causeway? 2–3 2: What is the evidence for the line drawn on the OS map? 3–4 3: Is the Devil's Causeway a Roman Road? 4–7 3A: Construction 4–6 3B: Forts and Fortlets 6–7 4: Dating the Devil's
