West Cotton, Raunds by Andy Chapman,Marion Archibald Pdf
The open area excavation of nearly a half of the small deserted medieval hamlet of West Cotton, Raunds, Northamptonshire has revealed the dynamic processes of constant development in a way that has rarely been achieved on other comparable sites in England. Its origins have been seen to lie in the mid tenth-century plantation of a planned settlement based on regular one-acre plots, which occurred within the political context of the reconquest of eastern England by the Saxon kings and the subsequent reorganisation of settlement and society within the Danelaw. The settlement contained a major holding comprising a timber hall with ancillary buildings and an adjacent watermill, with perhaps a second similar holding and dependent peasants nearby. It was established on the edge of the floodplain at the confluence of a tributary stream with the River Nene, on a major valley-bottom route way. The processes of redevelopment which led to the rebuilding in stone in the twelfth century, as a small Norman manor house; the probable relocation of the manor buildings in the thirteenth century; and its final form in the fourteenth to mid-fifteenth century as a hamlet of peasant tenements have been well documented by the archaeological evidence. In particular, it has been vividly shown how the final form of the settlement, preserved in earthwork, was merely a fairly brief episode at the end of this extended process of development, while the historic evidence provides no hint of the higher-status elements that had formed an integral part of the settlement until the final century of its occupation. Desertion appears to have been a gradual process, with the tenements abandoned one-by-one through a century of economic and social disasters, of which the Black Death was the most notable, as families presumably moved to better quality land then readily available elsewhere. The role of the local environment in the processes of change has also been well documented, with the abandonment of the watermill in the twelfth century resulting from a disruption of the water supply caused by a period of intense flooding and alluviation, when the very survival of the settlement was only ensured by the construction of a protective flood bank. The excavated structural evidence is of high quality, and has provided numerous complete building plans ranging from the timber halls of the tenth and eleventh centuries, through the manor house of the twelfth to thirteenth centuries, to the well-preserved tenements of the fourteenth century. This is complemented by substantial artefact assemblages, and the consideration of the local economy and environment is largely dependent on the analysis of the faunal evidence and the environmental evidence derived from an extensive programme of soil sampling.
The Romans in the East of England by Stephen Upex Pdf
"The Nene valley and East Midlands area have always been recognised as being of major importance within the Roman province of Britannia, but almost nothing has been published about the area. Professor Upex shows how this area provides an ideal case study of the Roman occupation of Britain. He deals with the region's Iron Age origins, its significant sites and roads, and its association with the Boudican revolt, and accounts for the reasons why it became one of the wealthiest areas of Roman Britain by the end of the third century. Villa occupation was lavish, and different villa systems have been detected and mapped. The importance of the area is seen in spectacular fashion with the late Christian hoard of church silverware and other buried treasure. The book concludes with the end of Roman Britain, migrant Saxon occupation and the abandonment of villas and towns."--Publisher's description.
Harnessing the Power of the Criminal Corpse by Sarah Tarlow,Emma Battell Lowman Pdf
This open access book is the culmination of many years of research on what happened to the bodies of executed criminals in the past. Focusing on the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, it looks at the consequences of the 1752 Murder Act. These criminal bodies had a crucial role in the history of medicine, and the history of crime, and great symbolic resonance in literature and popular culture. Starting with a consideration of the criminal corpse in the medieval and early modern periods, chapters go on to review the histories of criminal justice, of medical history and of gibbeting under the Murder Act, and ends with some discussion of the afterlives of the corpse, in literature, folklore and in contemporary medical ethics. Using sophisticated insights from cultural history, archaeology, literature, philosophy and ethics as well as medical and crime history, this book is a uniquely interdisciplinary take on a fascinating historical phenomenon.
An extension of the north-east Cotswolds, Northamptonshire is perhaps less well known for its plentiful and distinctive stone resources. Diana Sutherland discusses the great variety of stone in the county from a geological point of view. The book focuses more on the stone itself, its features and elements, and the location of quarries rather than the techniques of stone masonry and its use in architectural sense. Each chapter looks at a different type of stone including marlstone rock in the west of the county, the use of Northampton Sand ironstone, sandstones and limestone, Lincolnshire limestone, Wellingborough limestone and so on. Colour close-ups of examples of the various stones are presented alongside photographs of the county's houses, cottages, medieval churches and country houses where the different types of stone were mployed as building materials.
Raunds Furnells by A. Boddington,Graham Cadman,John Evans Pdf
The first volume of the long-running Raund's area project in eastern Northamptonshire. A settlement was established in the 6th century and in the late 9th or early 10th century a tiny stone church was erected, ditches were subsequently cut to define a churchyard and burials were made. This report concentrates on the ecclesiastical excavation, including significant and rare evidence for liturgical fittings; including a clergy bench, sacrarium and altar. The report includes the sculptural and skeletal finds.
The Biddenham Loop has been the scene of human activity from the Palaeolithic through to the present-day but the majority of the archaeological evidence spans the Neolithic to the early 4th century AD. Apart from two handaxes, probably brought up from deep within the gravel by recent quarrying, no evidence for Palaeolithic activity was recovered. Given that the Biddenham area once had a reputation as a prolific source of material of this date, its absence is explained by the developments relatively limited impact on the underlying gravel terrace. The report looks at each chronological phase individually, and gives a site narrative, with plans and section drawings as well as detailed structural, artefactual and ecofactual data, primarily by 'activity' type.
