Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
A 1986 survey of then current understanding of the early medieval period in Cornwall by Ann Preston-Jones and Peter Rose has supported and stimulated most of what has happened since. This article selects highlights from the body of subsequent work in order to provide an update. Three areas of study have seen particularly great changes in our understanding: rural landscape; Christianity and its ramifications; and regional and local identity as reflected in pottery and the sourcing of potting clay. Underpinning each, and much other work on this period, is a greater certainty that rather than being the period when Britain's fabric and society was moulded, as Hoskins and others proposed, most early medieval arrangements, and perhaps also ideologies and identities, developed from and were to varying degrees inherited from later prehistoric and Romano-British ones. The enhanced awareness of the scale, stability and complexity of early medieval Cornish society thus has implications for our appreciation of later prehistory. | |||||||||
