  • Colchester and Ipswich Museum Service Ancient Gold of the Iceni
    Colchester and Ipswich Museum Service Ancient gold of the Iceni found in Suffolk A morning’s metal detecting back in 2008 lead to the discovery of 840 Iron Age gold coins - the largest hoard of its type found in Britain in over 150 years. Now Colchester and Ipswich Museum Service has until the end of June to raise £300,000 to save this outstanding archaeological treasure for the nation and people of Suffolk. The coins were buried just over 2000 years ago by members of the Iceni tribe whose kingdom covered Norfolk, north Suffolk and parts of Cambridgeshire. The coins were buried about 40 years before queen Boudica led her famous revolt against the Romans. They offer an unparalleled glimpse into life on the eve of the Roman invasion and are part of the origins and long history of Suffolk communities. Whilst the museum gets down to the business of fundraising people will be able to have a sneak preview of 200 of the coins at Ipswich Museum from May 3 rd until June 10 th . The coins officially belong to the Crown until the museum has raised the money to buy them and they are on display with special permission from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. Caroline McDonald, Curator of archaeology at the museum is particularly excited at their arrival. ‘Suffolk earth has revealed some of the nations most outstanding treasure finds in recent decades. The Amazing Anglo-Saxon ship burial at Sutton Hoo in 1939, the stunning silver Roman dinner service found at Mildenhall during World War II and more recently the Hoxne hoard of Roman coins and artefacts found in the 1990s.

  • 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.

  • Wikimedia with Liam Wyatt
    Video Transcript 1 Liam Wyatt Wikimedia Lecture May 24, 2011 2:30 pm David Ferriero: Good afternoon. Thank you. I’m David Ferriero, I’m the Archivist of the United States and it is a great pleasure to welcome you to my house this afternoon. According to Alexa.com, the internet traffic ranking company, there are only six websites that internet users worldwide visit more often than Wikipedia: Google, Facebook, YouTube, Yahoo!, Blogger.com, and Baidu.com (the leading Chinese language search engine). In the States, it ranks sixth behind Amazon.com. Over the past few years, the National Archives has worked with many of these groups to make our holdings increasingly findable and accessible, our goal being to meet the people where they are. This past fall, we took the first step toward building a relationship with the “online encyclopedia that anyone can edit.” When we first began exploring the idea of a National Archives-Wikipedia relationship, Liam Wyatt was one of, was the one who pointed us in the right direction and put us in touch with the local DC-area Wikipedian community. Early in our correspondence, we were encouraged and inspired when Liam wrote that he could quote “quite confidently say that the potential for collaboration between NARA and the Wikimedia projects are both myriad and hugely valuable - in both directions.” I couldn’t agree more. Though many of us have been enthusiastic users of the Free Encyclopedia for years, this was our first foray into turning that enthusiasm into an ongoing relationship. As Kristen Albrittain and Jill James of the National Archives Social Media staff met with the DC Wikipedians, they explained the Archives’ commitment to the Open Government principles of transparency, participation, and collaboration and the ways in which projects like the Wikipedian in Residence could exemplify those values.

In Britain the term Prehistory refers to the period before Britain became part of the Roman empire in AD 43. The prehistoric period in Britain lasted for hundreds of thousands of years and this long period of time is usually divided into: Palaeolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic (sometimes these three periods are combined and called the Stone Age), Bronze Age and Iron Age. Each of these periods might also be sub-divided into early, middle and late. The Palaeolithic is often divided into lower, middle and upper. Early Britain British Isles: Humans probably first arrived in Britain around 800,000 BC. These early inhabitants had to cope with extreme environmental changes and they left Britain at least seven times when conditions became too bad.

  • Presidential Address 2012 Hoarding in Britain: an Overview
    PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS 2012 HOARDING IN BRITAIN: AN OVERVIEW ROGER BLAND Introduction: what is a hoard? IN this paper I discuss some aspects of the study of hoards found in Britain. There is a very rich heritage of hoards of coins (and other metal artefacts), and their study underpins our understanding of how coins circulated in this country. Much has been written on what hoards can tell us about coinage, or, for example, Bronze Age metalwork and there have been many studies of hoards of different periods, but there have been few attempts at an overview of hoarding across time.1 I shall raise some questions about hoarding in general to see whether one can make connections across periods. In the summer of 2013 the British Museum and University of Leicester initiated a research project, with funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council, on ‘Crisis or continuity? The deposition of metalwork in the Roman world: what do coin hoards tell us about Roman Britain in the third century AD?’ Three research assistants will be employed and a complete data- base of all Roman hoards from Britain will be published online at www.finds.org.uk. The project will also include a survey of a large sample of hoards to try to understand better why they were buried. In this paper I introduce some of the themes we intend to explore further in this project. First, we need to consider what is meant by the term ‘hoard’. I will look at hoarding and the deposition of artefacts in the ground in the broadest sense and by ‘hoard’ I mean any group of objects which have been deliberately brought together, but not necessarily deliberately placed in the ground – so the contents of a purse lost by accident would also count.

  • The Transition from Roman to Anglo-Saxon Coinage
    Available online at http://britnumsoc.org/publications/Digital%20BNJ/2010.shtml ANGLO-SAXON GOLD COINAGE. PART 1: THE TRANSITION FROM ROMAN TO ANGLO-SAXON COINAGE GARETH WILLIAMS Introduction BETWEEN around AD 600 and 675 a substantive Anglo-Saxon gold coinage developed, although the fact that most of the coins are anonymous issues means that these dates can not be regarded as precise. This gradually became debased across the period until the levels of gold in the coin- age became so low that numismatists recognise a transition from ‘gold’ to ‘silver’ coinage. Gold coins reappear alongside silver from the late eighth century to the eleventh, but these are extremely rare, with only eight certain surviving examples, together with some anonymous imitative issues which may also be of Anglo-Saxon manufacture. These later gold coins seem to have fulfi lled a slightly different function from the coins of the main gold period, and are the subject of a recent major study by Mark Blackburn.1 Nevertheless, with so few defi nite later Anglo-Saxon gold coins, it seems worthwhile to include them together with the earlier gold coinage, if only to consider how their design and use differed from that earlier phase. Although an extensive literature already exists on many aspects, a combination of recent developments have made it possible to reconsider the subject in some detail. This is the result partly of the opportunity to revisit the question of the gold content of the Anglo-Saxon gold coinage, which has formed the basis for much of the previous discussion of the chronology of the coinage; partly of a desire to take account of a steadily growing body of fi nds evidence; partly of a growing body of research into coin use and monetisation in the Viking Age which appears to have some resonance for the early Anglo-Saxon period; and fi nally of the fact that the last few years have seen a lively discussion on the nature of coin use and precious metal economies in the fi fth and sixth centuries.

  • Portable Antiquities Scheme Database Report
    CHAIN Unique ID: NARC-22EC08 Object type certainty: Certain Workflow status: Published An incomplete gold Chain of late Roman date (AD 300-410). The object comprises the lower portion of the chain and one terminal. The chain terminates in one end in an irregular break. There are four individual links with beaks resulting in the loops projecting out slightly from the main cord of the chain. The opposing end retains a dolphin or swans head terminal. The chain is of fine construction and is composed of a ‘plaited’ four sided (double) loop-in- loop construction. The lower terminal is zoomorphic and is composed of two sheets of gold, the lower plate is flat and attached to the upper by a perforating gold rivet at the upper end of the terminal. The upper plate is convex and forms a collar around the lower end of the chain. The collar has repeating raised decoration in the form of two raised lines with a beaded line between. This pattern is repeated three times with an additional raised line between each set. The terminal then flares out with a domed upper after which it tapers in to a rounded end, there are two short wires projecting from between the plates at the end of the terminal. These projecting wires would have formed an attachment loop for a clasp. There is some low relief on the domed upper portion of the plate which would have formed lobes to denote the head, eyes and nose. The terminal is worn and the details of the relief work are shallow and obscured.

Currently lost, it survived in a few antiquarian accounts. In this paper, in the light of these written sources and parallel examples, the author will try to discuss its function, possible time of import and the character of its deposition.

Generally speaking The source which has been quoted the most in these accounts, while the interpretation of frequently is an account written by Pennant, the finds usually turned out to be incorrect, included in his Tour in Scotland: their physical descriptions, measurements and drawings were more precise.
