Citadel of the Saxons
Author: Rory Naismith
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1786724863
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
With a past as deep and sinewy as the famous River Thames that twists like an eel around the jutting peninsula of Mudchute and the Isle of Dogs, London is one of the world's greatest and most resilient cities. Born beside the sludge and the silt of the meandering waterway that has always been its lifeblood, it has weathered invasion, flood, abandonment, fire and bombing. The modern story of London is well known. Much has been written about the later history of this megalopolis which, like a seductive dark star, has drawn incomers perpetually into its orbit. Yet, as Rory Naismith reveals – in his zesty evocation of the nascent medieval city – much less has been said about how close it came to earlier obliteration. Following the collapse of Roman civilization in fifth-century Britannia, darkness fell over the former province. Villas crumbled to ruin; vital commodities became scarce; cities decayed; and Londinium, the capital, was all but abandoned. Yet despite its demise as a living city, memories of its greatness endured like the moss and bindweed which now ensnared its toppled columns and pilasters. By the 600s a new settlement, Lundenwic, was established on the banks of the River Thames by enterprising traders who braved the North Sea in their precarious small boats. The history of the city's phoenix-like resurrection, as it was transformed from an empty shell into a court of kings – and favoured setting for church councils from across the land – is still virtually unknown. The author here vividly evokes the forgotten Lundenwic and the later fortress on the Thames – Lundenburgh – of desperate Anglo-Saxon defenders who retreated inside their Roman walls to stand fast against menacing Viking incursions. Recalling the lost cities which laid the foundations of today's great capital, this book tells the stirring story of how dead Londinium was reborn, against the odds, as a bulwark against the Danes and a pivotal English citadel. It recounts how Anglo-Saxon London survived to become the most important town in England – and a vital stronghold in later campaigns against the Normans in 1066. Revealing the remarkable extent to which London was at the centre of things, from the very beginning, this volume at last gives the vibrant early medieval city its due.

Landscape Beneath the Waves
Author: Caroline Wickham-Jones
Publisher: Studying Scientific Archaeolog
ISBN: 9781789250725
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
At the end of the last Ice Age, sea level around the world was lower, coastal lands stretched further and the continents were bigger, in some cases landmasses were joined by dry land that has now disappeared beneath the waves. The study of the now submerged landscapes that our ancestors knew represents one of the last barriers for archaeology. Only recently have advances in underwater technology reached the stage where a wealth of procedures is available to explore this lost undersea world. This volume considers the processes behind the rising (and falling) of relative sea-levels and then presents the main techniques available for the study and interpretation of the archaeological remains that have survived inundation. Case studies are used to illustrate particular applications. Finally, a review of projects around the world highlights the varying scale and period of sites concerned. Submerged archaeological sites often include the preservation of fragile materials, such as decorated timbers, that shed rare detail on the communities of prehistory; in other cases the features of the landscape context into which they are set can be extraordinarily well-preserved. This is not a book about shipwrecks but about landscapes now lost beneath the waves. It is written for all archaeologists, whether they work on land or at sea, and for all who are interested in the past; it illustrates the shape of the world as it once was and explains why we need to understand it. It offers an easily accessible introduction to the exciting realm of underwater archaeology.

Capturing the Public Value of Heritage
Author: Heritage Lottery Fund (Great Britain)
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781905624102
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
In January 2006 more than 400 people came together at the Royal Geographical Society in London to discuss the ‘public value’ of heritage. Organised by the Heritage Lottery Fund, English Heritage, the National Trust and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, the event attracted a broad range of individuals and organisations who care passionately about heritage. At the heart of the conference was the question of how we capture the value of heritage. We know that people care about it, and that funding it generates all sorts of social and economic benefits. The challenge, though, is to present that evidence in a way that is relevant both to the public and to politicians. Understanding the impact of heritage also helps heritage organisations to improve their own performance. This volume brings together the presentations from the conference and highlights the main areas if discussion. It will be relevant to anyone involved in looking after the heritage, or interested in how ideas of ‘public value’ can be applied to cultural heritage.
