This volume, produced in honour of Professor David A. Hinton's
contribution to medieval studies, re-visits the sites,
archaeologists and questions which have been central to the
archaeology of medieval southern England. Contributions are focused
on the medieval period (from the Anglo-Saxon period to the
Reformation) in southern England, to reflect the research of
Professor Hinton. The contributions largely re-examine important
debates believed to have been settled long ago, or explore the
implications of changing research traditions for the interpretation
of archaeological sites. The volume begins with two considerations
of archaeologists themselves, the antiquary Richard James (Tom
James) and those who have shaped our understanding of Anglo-Saxon
Hamwic (Mark Brisbane and Richard Hodges). Both studies show the
role of individuals, and the times in which they worked, on the
questions and interpretations advanced by archaeological study.
Staying in the Anglo-Saxon period, Barbara Yorke re-opens the
debate about the Jutish archaeology of Wessex, Martin Biddle
re-visits the archaeology of Winchester Old Minster and Katherine
Weikert explores the household of early medieval Facombe Netheron.
Moving into the later medieval period, Duncan H. Brown re-assesses
the evidence from the important site at Cuckoo Lane, Southampton,
with a focus on ceramics, and Maureen Mellor examines the evidence
of church floor tiles from Oxfordshire, an early research interest
of Professor Hinton. Two chapters deal with medieval food, Mark
Robinson discusses wheat cultivation and Dale Serjeantson et. al.
revisit the animal bones from excavations at Eynsham Abbey,
comparing them with those from St Albans to explore the issue of
the Saxon-Norman transition. Finally, staying with the archaeology
elite culture, the volume concludes with Matthew Johnson's
contribution on recent work on late medieval elite landscapes in
south-east England. Together, these contributions combine
historiography, new evidence and emerging ideas, helping us to
understand how the landscape of research has developed, whilst
showing the importance of re-visiting old sites and questions to
advance the discipline of medieval studies.
