Sequence is then contrasted with rupture, times during which the micro-ecologies of SaintSernin and Karatay Han were reconfigured by the actions of the multitudes who dwelled in and around them. Salgirli argues that multitudes were often successful in destabilizing the preestablished significance and expected functions of Mediterranean architecture. In that regard, Karatay Han and Saint-Sernin simultaneously exerted and functioned outside the expectations of their makers. In his analysis, the rhythms described, sequence, rupture, flux and unrest, are produced by architecture and through it, and do not operate independently from one another. Instead, these disparate rhythms coexist, producing an arrhythmic cacophony that may well be the pulse of the medieval Mediterranean. Adding to its bold methodology, the variety of sources encompassed by the volume is quite remarkable. When depicting the evolutions of Saint-Sernin and Karatay Han, Salgirli not only draws from their physical characteristics, but also makes use of a wider array of material and visual sources, from sculptures to illustrated manuscripts and portolans. The breath of textual documents employed is also noteworthy, not only in terms of linguistic command, but especially in Salgirli’s adroit juxtaposition of travel accounts, charters and endowment deeds. However, as the narrative travels back and forth from Toulouse to Karatay, one might sometimes regret the abundant use of conceptual phrasing and out-of-context references (from Black Mirror to King Rat) which tend to obscure, rather than help, the overall argument. Nevertheless, following Peregrine Horden and Nicholas Purcell’s formulation, this volume crafts an original narrative of architecture in the late medieval Mediterranean, rather than a history of the Mediterranean region or of Mediterranean architecture as a whole. In this regard, The Fluctuating Sea not only sheds new light on the interwoven pasts of Saint-Sernin and Karatay Han, but also provides an array of insightful ways of jointly conceptualizing movement, architecture, and temporality in the late medieval Mediterranean and beyond.","PeriodicalId":42723,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the British Archaeological Association","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45667859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Though test-pitting at Southminster has failed to reveal Anglo-Saxon pottery, metal detecting has revealed a number of sceattas nearby. Moreover, neighbouring Asheldham, which has produced middle Saxon ceramic, may have been a ‘home farm’ of Southminster. The latter was one of a number of ‘directional’ minsters in Essex and Kent named from their compass direction in relation to a parent minster. It is suggested that these were founded as a form of ‘outreach’ near to what were already community foci.","PeriodicalId":42723,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the British Archaeological Association","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42471646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Notwithstanding any remarks above about omissions from the survey, it can be said without reservation that the authors have accommodated, and synthesized clearly, a huge amount of evidence, and they are to be congratulated warmly on their achievement. Furthermore, as their approach is thematic in nature and looks at architecture in the context of the political, social and religious factors that called it into being, it will be of great value not only to architectural historians, but also to historians in a range of disciplines — as well as to a wider readership. The book can be recommended unreservedly to anyone interested in the Carolingian period (and would merit perhaps an English language edition).","PeriodicalId":42723,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the British Archaeological Association","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45731274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The evidence considered, including previously unpublished elevations and geophysical survey, sheds new light on the chapel’s structure and its context, of which it presents the fullest account yet published. Using all available sources, it is argued that the earliest phase of the ruinous building neither dates from the Roman period, nor from the mid- to late 7th century, as previously argued by other scholars, but from between 597 and 609. The same evidence supports the interpretation that the structure was rebuilt in the 7th and 8th centuries. As such, the first phase of St Pancras may be both the oldest ‘Anglo-Saxon’ ecclesiastical building visible today, and founded, consecrated and used by Saint Augustine of Canterbury himself. It provides, therefore, unique testimony to a pivotal moment in British history and offers previously unrecognized material evidence for the foundation of the English Church.","PeriodicalId":42723,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the British Archaeological Association","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49503388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A subset were located on double-decker tombs, many still complete with biers displaying on the top level the recumbent effigy of the commemorated au vif and on the bottom level an effigy au mort. Forty-nine complete or partial carved transi effigies survive in England from the period to 1558, twenty-one of them part of double-decker monuments. To this corpus can now be added a lost carved double-decker example from St Peter’s church in Bristol, which was gutted by bombing in the Second World War. Old photographs, drawings and church notes establish that the person commemorated by the cadaver tomb was an armigerous member of the Norton family of upwardly mobile merchants who occupied the Great House by St Peter’s church. From 1435 they had an established tradition of burial within the church, with four generations buried here during the period when the double-decker tomb was likely to have been commissioned. Stylistic comparisons with other cadaver monuments suggest that the effigy formerly at St Peter’s church most likely commemorates Thomas I (d. 1435) or Thomas II (d. 1449), probably the latter. This is early for such a cutting-edge monument, especially to a layman.","PeriodicalId":42723,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the British Archaeological Association","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45526439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
