  • Iron Production in Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire in Antiquity by Frances Condron
    Iron Production in Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire in Antiquity by Frances Condron Iron production in Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire during the Roman period is well attested, though to date the region has not been considered one of importance. This paper outlines the range of settlements involved in smelting and smithing, and suggests models for the organisation of production and development through time. It is suggested that surplus iron was being made and transported outside the region, possibly to the northern garrisons, following the archaeologically documented movement of lower Nene Valley wares. A gazetteer of smelting and smithing sites is provided. Iron production in Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire during the Roman period is well attested, though to date the region has not been considered one of importance. Two iron-working regions of note have been revealed, on the Weald of Kent (Cleere 1974; Cleere & Crossley 1985), and in the Forest of Dean (Fulford & Allen 1992). In the East Midlands, the range of settlements involved and duration of production indicate a long and complex history of iron working, in some cases showing continuity from late Iron Age practices. However, there were clearly developments both in the nature and scale of production, at the top end of the scale indicative of planned operations. This paper explores the organisation of this production within sites and across the region, and outlines possible trade networks. The transition from Iron Age to Roman saw the introduction of new iron working technology (the shaft furnace in particular), and of equal significance, a shift in the organisation of production.

  • Transport Networks and Towns in Roman and Early Medieval England
    1 Transport networks and towns in Roman 2 and early medieval England: an application 3 of PageRank to archaeological questions 4 Stuart Brookes and Hoai Nguyen Huynh 5 Abstract 6 7 This paper examines the development of a road network through time to consider 8 its relationship to processes of urbanisation in Roman and early medieval England. 9 Using a popular network measure called PageRank, we classify the importance of 10 nodes in the transport network of roads and navigable waterways to assess the 11 relative location of urban places. Applying this measure we show that there is a 12 strong correlation between the status of towns in both Roman and medieval 13 periods and their proximity to transport nodes with high values of PageRank. 14 Comparison between two temporally distinct networks—Early Roman, and that 15 recorded in the Domesday survey of AD 1086—allows for a discussion about the 16 determinants of urban growth at different times. The applicability of PageRank to 17 other forms of network analysis in archaeology are offered in conclusion. 18 Highlights 19 Ranking the importance of nodes in a transport network using PageRank 20 Assessing town locations in Roman and early medieval times 21 Comparing the relative importance of road and riverine transport 22 Keywords 23 Roman Britain; Early medieval towns; transport networks; PageRank; network analysis 24 1.

  • The Nene Valley in Prehistoric and Roman Times
    Chapter 1 The Nene Valley in Prehistoric and Roman Times Introduction - The Early Archaeologists To understand the beginnings of human settlement around our villages we must look beyond the five parishes to the wider landscape of the Nene river valley, from the woodlands West of Wansford to where the river joins the edge of the fens East of present-day Peterborough, and from the limestone hills to the North between Upton and Marholm to the lower ground South of the river in the parishes of Water Newton and Chesterton. This stretch of the lower Nene valley has long been known for its ancient history. Antiquarians such as Camden in the 16th century and Stukeley in the 18th, described Roman remains in the area and were aware of the existence of a Roman town South of the Nene and a Roman settlement under Castor village itself. However it is the local figure, Edmund Tyrell Artis (1789-1847), who has emerged as one of the leading early British archaeologists and who first made a comprehensive study of the landscape around Castor, revealing its true importance. Artis was a talented individual, interested in natural history and geology, an accomplished artist as well as an antiquarian, but his true passion was archaeology. He was steward to Earl Fitzwilliam at Milton and between 1820 and 1828 was able to excavate sites extensively and systematically within Castor and the surrounding area. Unlike many of his contemporaries, whose main interest was in searching for ancient treasures for private collections, he measured and recorded his discoveries carefully. Artis also attempted to place this information within the wider landscape, observing how the various elements, settlements, roads, industry and temples may have related to each other, thus attempting to understand Roman society as a whole.
