This paper presents an insight into the changes in crop and animal husbandry for early medieval Yorkshire (fourth – late thirteenth century). A synthesis of archaeobotanical and zooarchaeological evidence from 163 sites revealed multiple changes in the presence of different cereal types and main domesticates. While a high presence of wheat and barley was observed across the period, an increased use of both oats and rye has been highlighted. Faunal evidence has emphasised the different sub-regional developments of cattle and sheep/goats within Yorkshire. These trends suggest that agricultural development went initially through a phase of abatement marked by the apparent taking up of subsistence-oriented crop and unspecialised animal husbandry practices. A phase of agricultural intensification was observed during the Anglo-Scandinavian and later phases as the arable was enlarged through the use of more specific cereals (like oats and rye). It is suggested that this was accompanied by an increasingly specialised animal economy focusing on their secondary products. Additionally, Anglian estate organisation might have been an important contributor towards the development of agricultural methods in areas like the Yorkshire Wolds.","PeriodicalId":44491,"journal":{"name":"Archaeological Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80357057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on its local context the authors propose that the hoard was deposited between c.AD 45–60/61, perhaps by a member of the local native elite. Various theories for its deposition have been proposed previously, some more plausible than others, with the authors leaning towards a votive explanation, which does seem likely given the proximity of the temple. Here they suggest that this act may have been conceived as a deliberate repudiation of the newly emerged cultural practices of the immediate postConquest period in the aftermath of the Boudiccan rebellion, a convincing theory given the deliberately fragmented condition in which it was deposited. It is a credit to the original finder of the hoard that we know so much about its discovery and it is good to finally see this publication as there has been little easily accessible information available previously. Although slim in size and limited in its scope the study nonetheless makes a worthwhile contribution to the study of the fascinatingly complex cultural transitions of the mid-first century AD in south-east Britain and the developing material culture of this period.","PeriodicalId":44491,"journal":{"name":"Archaeological Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82561222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The result is an important and potentially seminal analysis that highlights differences and divergences at a local and regional level. This theme of locality is further adopted in David Austin’s contribution analysing in detail the development of an estate and landscape surrounding the Abbey of Strata Florida in Ceredigion. Subsequently, Rhiannon Comeau demonstrates the origin of the thirteenth-century term In rodwallis in the inter-related practices and seasonal practices of land-use in pre-Conquest Wales through a detailed study of the lordship of Cemais. Continuing this theme of demonstrating the enduring value of focused analyses of specific localities, Andy Seaman emphasizes the value of the Llandaff charters for understanding landscape, exploitation and political dynamics in the case of the estate surrounding Llangorse. Demonstrating how different a picture they present to eighteenthand nineteenth-century accounts of agricultural norms, Seaman also expertly elucidates the operation of a major royal and ecclesiastical landscape. Tudor Davis thereafter marries concerns for the locality, with a regional and national focus, demonstrating temporal and spatial variation across Wales from a palaeoecological standpoint. This exceptional work of synthesis is perhaps the most significant, original and comprehensive piece of research within this excellent volume, challenging many of the dominant narratives surrounding agricultural expansion, decline and contraction. Wrapping up the volume, Andrew Fleming presents a thought-provoking and powerful discussion of the need to consider both continuity and change against a range of scales, emphasizing how powerful a lens this is for the analysis of the nexus of agriculture and landscape in Wales. As a whole, this volume is an exceptionally important statement of the potential of focused local and regional scale analysis to transform understandings of the nature of agricultural practice, and its significance in wider social, political and cultural developments. The contributions complement each other excellently, and together describe a cohesive overview of interest to those studying Wales, but also more broadly to students of landscape, agriculture and medieval society elsewhere.","PeriodicalId":44491,"journal":{"name":"Archaeological Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81212154","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chapter 7 reviews the evidence for early medieval Exeter. There is little evidence for any settlement activity within the former town during the fifth to eighth centuries. A small cemetery at the Roman basilica lay below a mid-Saxon cemetery and later-Saxon minster, so does indicate some population continuity, if at a massively reduced scale. In the late ninth century, Exeter became a defended burh, and this saw a revival of urban life. By the tenth century there was wider occupation with streets largely ignoring the earlier Roman street grid, several parish churches, along with the minster (and later cathedral). Exeter was the fifth most productive mint in England, suggesting a sizeable population. Chapter 8 discusses later medieval Exeter, where it remained a major town in the south-west, becoming an episcopal and royal centre and an international port (particularly in ceramics). This is a richly illustrated chapter, with many photos, plans, and reconstruction images. The second volume of the series, compliments the first, by presenting a series of specialist contributions that support Volume I’s more general overview. Chapter 1 offers a short introduction to the project. Chapter 2 provides summaries of the excavations carried out within the city of Exeter between 1812 and 2019, while Chapter 3 draws together the evidence for the plan of the legionary fortress and the streets and buildings of the Roman town. Chapter 4 presents the medieval documentary evidence relating to the excavations at three sites in central Exeter (High Street, Trichay Street and Goldsmith Street), with the excavation reports being in Chapter 5–7. Chapter 8 reports on the excavations and documentary research at Rack Street in the south-east quarter of the city. There follows a series of papers covering recent research into the archaeometallurgical debris, dendrochronology, Roman pottery, Roman ceramic building material, Roman querns and millstones, Claudian coins, an overview of the Roman coins from Exeter and Devon, medieval pottery, and the human remains found in a series of medieval cemeteries.","PeriodicalId":44491,"journal":{"name":"Archaeological Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80897289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
