  • Crusading, the Military Orders, and Sacred Landscapes in the Baltic, 13Th – 14Th Centuries ______
    TERRA MATRIS: CRUSADING, THE MILITARY ORDERS, AND SACRED LANDSCAPES IN THE BALTIC, 13TH – 14TH CENTURIES ____________________________________ A Thesis Presented to the School of History, Archaeology and Religion Cardiff University ____________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in History & Welsh History (2018) ____________________________________ by Gregory Leighton Abstract Crusading and the military orders have, at their roots, a strong focus on place, namely the Holy Land and the shrines associated with the life of Christ on Earth. Both concepts spread to other frontiers in Europe (notably Spain and the Baltic) in a very quick fashion. Therefore, this thesis investigates the ways that this focus on place and landscape changed over time, when crusading and the military orders emerged in the Baltic region, a land with no Christian holy places. Taking this fact as a point of departure, the following thesis focuses on the crusades to the Baltic Sea Region during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. It considers the role of the military orders in the region (primarily the Order of the Teutonic Knights), and how their participation in the conversion-led crusading missions there helped to shape a distinct perception of the Baltic region as a new sacred (i.e. Christian) landscape. Structured around four chapters, the thesis discusses the emergence of a new sacred landscape thematically. Following an overview of the military orders and the role of sacred landscpaes in their ideology, and an overview of the historiographical debates on the Baltic crusades, it addresses the paganism of the landscape in the written sources predating the crusades, in addition to the narrative, legal, and visual evidence of the crusade period (Chapter 1).

  • The Archaeology of the Prussian Crusade
    Downloaded by [University of Wisconsin - Madison] at 05:00 18 January 2017 THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE PRUSSIAN CRUSADE The Archaeology of the Prussian Crusade explores the archaeology and material culture of the Crusade against the Prussian tribes in the thirteenth century, and the subsequent society created by the Teutonic Order that lasted into the six- teenth century. It provides the first synthesis of the material culture of a unique crusading society created in the south-eastern Baltic region over the course of the thirteenth century. It encompasses the full range of archaeological data, from standing buildings through to artefacts and ecofacts, integrated with writ- ten and artistic sources. The work is sub-divided into broadly chronological themes, beginning with a historical outline, exploring the settlements, castles, towns and landscapes of the Teutonic Order’s theocratic state and concluding with the role of the reconstructed and ruined monuments of medieval Prussia in the modern world in the context of modern Polish culture. This is the first work on the archaeology of medieval Prussia in any lan- guage, and is intended as a comprehensive introduction to a period and area of growing interest. This book represents an important contribution to promot- ing international awareness of the cultural heritage of the Baltic region, which has been rapidly increasing over the last few decades.

  • Who Were the Prusai ?
    WHO WERE THE PRUSAI ? So far science has not been able to provide answers to this question, but it does not mean that we should not begin to put forward hypotheses and give rise to a constructive resolution of this puzzle. Great help in determining the ethnic origin of Prusai people comes from a new branch of science - genetics. Heraldically known descendants of the Prusai, and persons unaware of their Prusai ethnic roots, were subject to the genetic test, thus provided a knowledge of the genetics of their people. In conjunction with the historical knowledge, this enabled to be made a conclusive finding and indicated the territory that was inhabited by them. The number of tests must be made in much greater number in order to eliminate errors. Archaeological research and its findings also help to solve this question, make our knowledge complemented and compared with other regions in order to gain knowledge of Prusia, where they came from and who they were. Prusian people provinces POMESANIA and POGESANIA The genetic test done by persons with their Pomesanian origin provided results indicating the Haplogroup R1b1b2a1b and described as the Atlantic Group or Italo-Celtic. The largest number of the people from this group, today found between the Irish and Scottish Celts. Genetic age of this haplogroup is older than that of the Celt’s genetics, therefore also defined as a proto Celtic. 1 The Pomerania, Poland’s Baltic coast, was inhabited by Gothic people called Gothiscanza. Their chronicler Cassiodor tells that they were there from 1940 year B.C. Around the IV century A.D.

  • Jordanes and the Invention of Roman-Gothic History Dissertation
    Empire of Hope and Tragedy: Jordanes and the Invention of Roman-Gothic History Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Brian Swain Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Timothy Gregory, Co-advisor Anthony Kaldellis Kristina Sessa, Co-advisor Copyright by Brian Swain 2014 Abstract This dissertation explores the intersection of political and ethnic conflict during the emperor Justinian’s wars of reconquest through the figure and texts of Jordanes, the earliest barbarian voice to survive antiquity. Jordanes was ethnically Gothic - and yet he also claimed a Roman identity. Writing from Constantinople in 551, he penned two Latin histories on the Gothic and Roman pasts respectively. Crucially, Jordanes wrote while Goths and Romans clashed in the imperial war to reclaim the Italian homeland that had been under Gothic rule since 493. That a Roman Goth wrote about Goths while Rome was at war with Goths is significant and has no analogue in the ancient record. I argue that it was precisely this conflict which prompted Jordanes’ historical inquiry. Jordanes, though, has long been considered a mere copyist, and seldom treated as an historian with ideas of his own. And the few scholars who have treated Jordanes as an original author have dampened the significance of his Gothicness by arguing that barbarian ethnicities were evanescent and subsumed by the gravity of a Roman political identity. They hold that Jordanes was simply a Roman who can tell us only about Roman things, and supported the Roman emperor in his war against the Goths.

  • Development of a Territorial Tourism Product Using a Marketing and Analytical Approach
    E3S Web of Conferences 208, 08026 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202020808026 IFT 2020 Development of a territorial tourism product using a marketing and analytical approach Natalia Lukyanova*1, and Aleksandr Stremousov2 1Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, 14 Alexander Nevsky str., 236041 Kaliningrad, Russia 2 Higher School of Economics National Research University, 20 Myasnitskaya str., 101000 Moscow, Russia Abstract. The article describes the author's method of forming the concept of a territorial tourist product within the framework of a marketing and analytical approach. The methodology is based on marketing research, the use of statistical analysis to objectively substantiate the proposed investment decisions in the field of tourism infrastructure and the management of strategic development of the territories, as well as on the construction of a marketing multi-attribute model of a territorial tourism product. The proposed methodology is implemented in the municipal unit of the Kaliningrad region within the framework of the investment "Strategy for the socio-economic development of "Ladushkinsky urban district" municipal unit for 2020-2030". The article presents the results of marketing and analytical research, on the basis of which the concept of the territorial tourist product of the Ladushkinsky urban district was developed, which implements its portfolio of the investment projects, as well as its marketing complex according to the “4P” model. 1 Introduction In accordance with the provisions of the "Strategy for the Economic Security of the Russian Federation for the Period up to 2030" one of the modern threats to the development of the Russian economy is the uneven spatial development of the Russian Federation and the increasing differentiation of regions and municipalities in terms of the level and pace of socio-economic development [1].

  • REVIEWS Barbara Rosenwein and Lester K. Little, Eds
    REVIEWS Barbara Rosenwein and Lester K. Little, eds., Debating the Middle Ages: Issues and Readings (Malden, MA and Oxford: Blackwell Publishers 1998) xiii + 396 pp. This volume brings together recent scholarship in four areas of medie - val studies which have see n dramatic development and innovation over the past two decades. The assembled articles by leading American, British, and continental scholars represent mostly previously published material which has contributed in some way to discussions on the Fall of Ro me, Feudalism, Gender, and Religion. Since the works of several of the authors, like Gerd Althoff and Jean -Claude Schmitt, are not widely available in English, the book is additionally useful for expos - ing readers not fluent in German, French and Italian —and I am think - ing of undergraduates in particular —to important trends in continental scholarship. No book can be all things to all people. The subjects taken up in De - bating the Middle Ages reflect for the most part those which have also occupied the two e ditors in some way, both of whom are leading histo - rians of European social history with a focus on religion and religious institutions. Thus other areas of medieval studies which have arguably been transformed in equally profound ways over the past twenty years, particularly art history and literary studies, are not represented as such. But this is one minor drawback to a book which will make an otherwise excellent reader for an undergraduate, or even graduate, course on me - dieval history or historiography . Each section is not a coherent presentation of a particular histo - riographical debate per se , but offers five to six individual perspectives on a select topic.

  • Erased by the Plough, Spotted from the Air. Remains of Earthwork Sites from Silesia
    ANALECTA ARCHAEOLOGICA RESSOVIENSIA VOLUME 12 RZESZÓW 2017 DOI: 10.15584/anarres.2017.12.12 Mirosław Furmanek*, Piotr Wroniecki** Erased by the Plough, Spotted from the Air. Remains of Earthwork Sites from Silesia ABSTRACT Furmanek M., Wroniecki P., 2017. Erased by the Plough, Spotted from the Air. Remains of Earthwork Sites from Silesia. Analecta Archaeologica Ressoviensia 12, 199–220 Since 2012 south-western Poland has been subject to regular aerial prospection campaigns that covered a vast area of the Upper Silesian, Lower Silesian and Opole regions. Eight surveys were conducted in with a total of 44 flight hours during late spring and summer dates. Their primary aim was the recognition of Neolithic and Early Bronze Age communities and landscapes. Additional photographic documentation of known and newly discovered features from other chronological periods was also obtained. The article presents a selection of data from five medieval settlements (Borucin site 2, Chrzelice site 1, Gniechowice site 1, Komorno site 1, Stary Zamek site 6), whose common feature is their nearly completely leveled earthworks, which makes the presented aerial imagery a basic source of information about them. The potential of remote sensing approaches in the case of quickly deteriorating archeological terrain forms, although not used frequently, has numerous advantages especially in contrary to the still favoured destructive excavation strategies.
