A detailed report on excavations carried out at the site of St
Gregory's Priory that revealed two major ecclesiastical buildings.
The earliest church, founded by Archbishop Lanfranc in AD 1084
became a priory in 1133; it was rebuilt after a great fire in 1145,
probably under the patronage of Archbishop Theobald, and was
eventually dissolved in 1537. This large report outlines the
historical and archaeological sequence at the site, describing the
remains of the various structures recovered (including the church,
chapter house, cloister, infirmary, refectory, courtyards), the
architectural fragments and small finds.
Information literacy research is growing in importance, as
evidenced by the steady increase in dissertations and research
papers in this area. However, significant theoretical gaps remain.
Information Literacy Through Theory provides an approachable
introduction to theory development and use within information
literacy research. It provides a space for key theorists in the
field to discuss, interrogate and reflect on the applicability of
theory within information literacy research, as well as the
implications for this work within a variety of contexts. Each
chapter considers a particular theory as its focal point, from
information literacy and the social to information literacy through
an equity mindset, and unpacks what assumptions the theory makes
about key concepts and the ways in which the theory enables or
constrains our understanding of information literacy. This book
will provide a focal point for researchers, practitioners and
students interested in the creation and advancement of conceptually
rich information literacy research and practice.
The volume describes the archaeological discoveries made within the
outer precincts of St Augustine's Abbey, in ground now part of the
campus of Canterbury Christ Church University. Development work at
the university between 1983 and 2007 involved numerous
archaeological interventions, the results of which are presented.
Remains were uncovered spanning prehistoric to modern times. Of
particular note was evidence for Bronze Age settlement, a Roman
cremation cemetery and water conduit, a mid Anglo-Saxon
craftworking site associated with the monastery of SS Peter and
Paul (founded c AD 598). Subsequent development associated with the
outer court of the abbey saw the construction of major service
buildings including a brewhouse-bakehouse and a cellarer's range.
Cultural assemblages, together with environmental material
retrieved from sampled remains, are analysed and a documentary
study follows the development of the abbey and its ground beyond
the post-Dissolution creation of a royal palace on the site.
The widening of the road between the Monkton and Mount Pleasant
roundabouts on the A253 led to the archaeological investigation of
a 3km long strip of land between July 1994 and February 1995.
Prehistoric discoveries included Neolithic inhumations and pits,
well-preserved Beaker graves and ten ring-ditches of late Neolithic
and Bronze Age date. An extensive and unusual Roman settlement of
the late first to early second century AD was characterised by a
large number of sunken-floored buildings. A small rectangular
structure on the fringes of the settlement may have been a roadside
shrine. A small Anglo-Saxon cemetery was located at the eastern end
of the excavated area and at the western end a medieval farmstead
with at least five buildings was investigated. The information is
presented in four parts covering the main periods of occupation of
the site and each chapter includes specialist reports on pottery,
small finds, human and animal bones and the plant and insect
remains.

"With her precise ear for just the right descriptive word, Alison
Hicks's poems enlarge daily life. Whether running into the father
of a childhood friend who committed suicide, or meditating on
Chekhov, or reciting the mantra of drugs used to treat migraines,
Hicks transforms daily experience into something larger and more
transcendent. Her poems glow." - Kim Roberts, author of Animal
Magnetism, The Kimnama, and The Wishbone Galaxy
The first of four books on excavations in the Whitefriars area of
Canterbury, this report describes the development of the
Augustinian friary from c 1325 to its demise following the
Dissolution. Combining stratigraphic analysis with documentary
sources, environmental and artefact assemblages, the book seeks to
illustrate the history of the friary and its immediate environs and
gain an undertanding of the people who lived and worked there.
The second of four books publishing the result of excavations in
the Whitefriars area of Canterbury, this report describes the
development of the town between AD 750 and 1225. Combining
stratigraphic analysis with documentary sources, environmental and
artifact assemblages, the book seeks to illustrate the development
and character of the area and its immediate environs and gain an
undertanding of the people who lived and worked there.
