  • CDAS – Chairman's Monthly Letter – March 2020 Fieldwork We Still Plan to Do the Geophysical Survey at Fishbourne Once
    CDAS – Chairman’s Monthly Letter – March 2020 Fieldwork We still plan to do the geophysical survey at Fishbourne once the weather improves and the field starts to dry out. Coastal Monitoring Following the visit to Medmerry West in January we made a visit to Medmerry East. Recent storms had made a big change to the landscape. As on our last visit to the west side it was possible to walk across the breach at low tide. Some more of the Coastguard station has been exposed. However one corner has now disappeared. It was good that Hugh was able to create the 3D Model when he did. We found what looks like a large fish trap with two sets of posts running in a V shape, each arm being about 25 metres long. The woven hurdles were clearly visible. Peter Murphy took a sample of the timber in case there is an opportunity for radiocarbon dating. We plan to return to the site in March to draw and record the structure. When we have decided on a date for this work I will let Members know. Condition Assessment – Thorney Island The annual Condition Assessment of the WW2 sites on Thorney Island will be on Tuesday 10th March, meeting at 09:30 at the junction of Thorney Road and Thornham Lane (SU757049). If you would like to join us and want to bring a car onto the base you need to tell us in advance, so please email the make, model, colour and registration number of your car to [email protected] by Friday 6 March.

  • The Perils of Periodization: Roman Ceramics in Britain After 400 CE KEITH J
    The Perils of Periodization: Roman Ceramics in Britain after 400 CE KEITH J. FITZPATRICK-MATTHEWS North Hertfordshire Museum [email protected] ROBIN FLEMING Boston College [email protected] Abstract: The post-Roman Britons of the fifth century are a good example of people invisible to archaeologists and historians, who have not recognized a distinctive material culture for them. We propose that this material does indeed exist, but has been wrongly characterized as ‘Late Roman’ or, worse, “Anglo-Saxon.” This pottery copied late-Roman forms, often poorly or in miniature, and these pots became increasingly odd over time; local production took over, often by poorly trained potters. Occasionally, potters made pots of “Anglo-Saxon” form using techniques inherited from Romano-British traditions. It is the effect of labeling the material “Anglo-Saxon” that has rendered it, its makers, and its users invisible. Key words: pottery, Romano-British, early medieval, fifth-century, sub-Roman Archaeologists rely on the well-dated, durable material culture of past populations to “see” them. When a society exists without such a mate- rial culture or when no artifacts are dateable to a period, its population effectively vanishes. This is what happens to the indigenous people of fifth-century, lowland Britain.1 Previously detectable through their build- ings, metalwork, coinage, and especially their ceramics, these people disappear from the archaeological record c. 400 CE. Historians, for their part, depend on texts to see people in the past. Unfortunately, the texts describing Britain in the fifth-century were largely written two, three, or even four hundred years after the fact.

  • 1 ROMAN WIGHT by Malcolm Lyne 1. a History of Previous Research Most
    ROMAN WIGHT By Malcolm Lyne 1. A history of previous research Most of the early antiquarian research into Roman Wight, as in other parts of Britain, related to the excavation of villa houses. The earliest such excavation was that at Rock,Brighstone in 1831 (Kell 1856), followed by those at Carisbrooke (Spickernell 1859), Gurnard (Kell 1866) and Brading during the 1880s (Price and Price 1881 and 1900). Other villa sites were noted at Combley and Clatterford during the same period (Kell 1856). The published accounts of most of these excavations are somewhat deficient but, in the case of Gurnard, are supplemented by unpublished manuscript notes of further excavations carried out after publication of the earlier work in 1866. Just a few of the artefacts found at Carisbrooke and Gurnard still survive. The one exception to this sorry tale is Brading: the published accounts of the excavations carried out by Captain Thorp and the Price brothers is more informative than most for this period and most of the pottery and other finds are still extant. Other 19 th c. observations on the Island’s Roman archaeology are largely restricted to brief accounts of coin hoards from Farringford, Wroxall and Cliff Copse, Shanklin written up by Kell (1863). A further hoard found at Wootton in 1833 had to wait for more than 100 years before a reasonably-detailed account was produced (Sydenham 1943). The early years of the 20 th century saw little improvement in the quality of atchaeological activity relating to Roman Wight. Poorly-recorded excavations at Combley villa in 1910 (Sydenham 1945, 426-29) were, however, soon followed by the activities of Ambrose Sherwin as curator of Carisbrooke Castle museum during the 1920s and 30s.

  • Castle Studies Group Bibliography No. 23 2010 CASTLE STUDIES: RECENT PUBLICATIONS – 23 (2010)
    Castle Studies Group Bibliography No. 23 2010 CASTLE STUDIES: RECENT PUBLICATIONS – 23 (2010) By John R. Kenyon Introduction This is advance notice that I plan to take the recent publications compilation to a quarter century and then call it a day, as I mentioned at the AGM in Taunton last April. So, two more issues after this one! After that, it may be that I will pass on details of major books and articles for a mention in the Journal or Bulletin, but I think that twenty-five issues is a good milestone to reach, and to draw this service to members to a close, or possibly hand on the reins, if there is anyone out there! No sooner had I sent the corrected proof of last year’s Bibliography to Peter Burton when a number of Irish items appeared in print. These included material in Archaeology Ireland, the visitors’ guide to castles in that country, and then the book on Dublin from Four Court Press, a collection of essays in honour of Howard Clarke, which includes an essay on Dublin Castle. At the same time, I noted that a book on medieval travel had a paper by David Kennett on Caister Castle and the transport of brick, and this in turn led me to a paper, published in 2005, that has gone into Part B, Alasdair Hawkyard’s important piece on Caister. Wayne Cocroft of English Heritage contacted me in July 2009, and I quote: - “I have just received the latest CSG Bibliography, which has prompted me to draw the EH internal report series to your attention.

A. STEER, M.A., Ph.D., F.S.A. DURING the 1939-45 war, the town of Dover, lying between the chalk downs at the mouth of the River Dour, twenty miles from the French coast, suffered severely from bombing and cross-Channel shelling. Towards the end of the war a Committee was formed under the Presidency of the Lord Bishop of Dover, with the object of examining some of the razed sites (Fig. 1) before they were rebuilt, to find out more of the history of the town in the Roman period.

Bristol & Gloucestershire Archaeological Society 121 (2003), 179–200 Great Witcombe Roman Villa, Gloucestershire: field surveys of its fabric and environs, 1999–2000 By NEIL HOLBROOK With contributions by P.P. Barker, M. Corney and E.J.F. Mercer INTRODUCTION The Site and its History of Archaeological Exploration Great Witcombe Roman villa, Gloucestershire, is a scheduled ancient monument (no. SM 28521) in the Guardianship of English Heritage. It occupies a fine location (O.S. Nat. Grid SO 89951425) on the side of a broad north-facing valley defined to the west by Cooper’s Hill and High Brotheridge, to the south by rising ground towards Cranham, and to the east by the main Cotswold escarpment. There are splendid views from the site (c. 140 m above O.D.) north-east- wards towards Crickley Hill and the Severn Vale. The site lies some 5 miles south-east of Gloucester and 10 miles from Cirencester. Ermin Street, the road between these Roman towns, passed within a mile of the villa to the north-east (Fig. 1). Springs rise in the vicinity of the remains which, combined with the views, may have dictated its location. The villa was discovered and largely uncovered in 1818 by Samuel Lysons and the then owner of the site Sir William Hicks (Lysons 1819, 178). Workmen removing an old ash tree uncovered the first remains, and excavations were carried out over an area which is roughly equivalent to that of the remains now visible.

(USA) Online ISSN: 2249-460x & Print ISSN: 0975-587X Human Rights, Social Welfare, and Greek Philosophy Legitimate Reasons for the Invasion of Britain by Claudius By Tomoyo Takahashi University of California, United States Abstract- In 43 AD, the fourth emperor of Imperial Rome, Tiberius Claudius Drusus, organized his military and invaded Britain. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the legitimate reasons for The Invasion of Britain led by Claudius. Before the invasion, his had an unfortunate life. He was physically distorted, so no one gave him an official position. However, one day, something unimaginable happened. He found himself selected by the Praetorian Guard to be the new emperor of Roma. Many scholars generally agree Claudius was eager to overcome his physical disabilities and low expectations to secure his position as new Emperor in Rome by military success in Britain. Although his personal motivation was understandable, it was not sufficient enough for Imperial Rome to legitimize the invasion of Britain. It is important to separate personal reasons and official reasons.
