The Early Medieval Period, Its Main Conclusion Is They Were Compiled at Malmesbury
Early Medieval 10 Early Medieval Edited by Chris Webster from contributions by Mick Aston, Bruce Eagles, David Evans, Keith Gardner, Moira and Brian Gittos, Teresa Hall, Bill Horner, Susan Pearce, Sam Turner, Howard Williams and Barbara Yorke 10.1 Introduction raphy, as two entities: one “British” (covering most 10.1.1 Early Medieval Studies of the region in the 5th century, and only Cornwall by the end of the period), and one “Anglo-Saxon” The South West of England, and in particular the three (focusing on the Old Sarum/Salisbury area from the western counties of Cornwall, Devon and Somerset, later 5th century and covering much of the region has a long history of study of the Early Medieval by the 7th and 8th centuries). This is important, not period. This has concentrated on the perceived “gap” only because it has influenced past research questions, between the end of the Roman period and the influ- but also because this ethnic division does describe (if ence of Anglo-Saxon culture; a gap of several hundred not explain) a genuine distinction in the archaeological years in the west of the region. There has been less evidence in the earlier part of the period. Conse- emphasis on the eastern parts of the region, perhaps quently, research questions have to deal less with as they are seen as peripheral to Anglo-Saxon studies a period, than with a highly complex sequence of focused on the east of England. The region identi- different types of Early Medieval archaeology, shifting fied as the kingdom of Dumnonia has received detailed both chronologically and geographically in which issues treatment in most recent work on the subject, for of continuity and change from the Roman period, and example Pearce (1978; 2004), KR Dark (1994) and the evolution of medieval society and landscape, frame Somerset has been covered by Costen (1992) with an internally dynamic period. -
Scarth, H M, on the Traces of Camps and Ancient Earth-Works Still
98 PAPERS, ETC. (Dn tjje €nm nf Cflni|i0 anil Slnrient (Bart|i-‘S)nrk0 still Existing arnnnii ’iatfj anil in tjjx jleigljlinarljanii. BY THE REV. H. M. SCARTH, M.A. rj^HERE are no traces of human labour so lasting as i mounds or earth-works— none which in all the vicissitudes through which society passes in the lapse of ages, retain their characters with so little variation—none which so completely defy the hand of time, and provoke less the ravages of man. While lofty buildings are de- stroyed for the sake of their materials, when they have once fallen into disuse, and few edifices are suffered to continue unless they can be converted to other purposes, and so turned to profitable account—the earth-work con- tinues the same, or with very little alteration, from the time that it was neglected, or abandoned as a place of defence, or forgotten as a boundary-line, or unused as a road, or ceased to be regarded as a place marking the repose of the dead, who it may be had fallen in battle. ON ANCIENT CAMPS AND EARTH-WORKS. 99 In certain places where the land is adapted for the purposes of agriculture, there these land-marks of the history of former ages have gradually been effaced by the use of the plough, or the soil spread around with the object of im- proving the fertility of the land ; but as earth-works for the most part occur on high lands, or barren hills, or on moors unsuited for cultivation, they remain much in the same state as when they ceased to be occupied for defen- sive and other purposes, except that the gradual decay of herbage, and its reproduction, as well as the washing of the rain and winter floods, tend in some degree to bring them gradually to a level surface. -

This is not a matter of policy: it just happens that the papers submitted to the editor have covered subjects local to Keynsham. In future issues we hope to publish papers dealing with wider aspects of North Wansdyke history. So it is all the more welcome that Michael Bird's account of Jasper Tudor should set the Keynsham interest in the context of national and European history. It illustrates the value of local studies beyond their local interest. Thanks are due to Barbara J Lowe for providing at short notice her account of the excavations by Bristol Folk House Archaeological Society which located a tomb in Keynsham Abbey which is very likely that of Jasper Tudor. Local historians continue to be concerned that the County of Avon does not have a Record Office. -

Cartogram [1883 WORDS]
Vol. 6: Dorling/Cartogram/entry Dorling, D. (forthcoming) Cartogram, Chapter in Monmonier, M., Collier, P., Cook, K., Kimerling, J. and Morrison, J. (Eds) Volume 6 of the History of Cartography: Cartography in the Twentieth Century, Chicago: Chicago University Press. [This is a pre-publication Draft, written in 2006, edited in 2009, edited again in 2012] Cartogram A cartogram can be thought of as a map in which at least one aspect of scale, such as distance or area, is deliberately distorted to be proportional to a variable of interest. In this sense, a conventional equal-area map is a type of area cartogram, and the Mercator projection is a cartogram insofar as it portrays land areas in proportion (albeit non-linearly) to their distances from the equator. According to this definition of cartograms, which treats them as a particular group of map projections, all conventional maps could be considered as cartograms. However, few images usually referred to as cartograms look like conventional maps. Many other definitions have been offered for cartograms. The cartography of cartograms during the twentieth century has been so multifaceted that no solid definition could emerge—and multiple meanings of the word continue to evolve. During the first three quarters of that century, it is likely that most people who drew cartograms believed that they were inventing something new, or at least inventing a new variant. This was because maps that were eventually accepted as cartograms did not arise from cartographic orthodoxy but were instead produced mainly by mavericks. Consequently, they were tolerated only in cartographic textbooks, where they were often dismissed as marginal, map-like objects rather than treated as true maps, and occasionally in the popular press, where they appealed to readers’ sense of irony. -
