Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The editorial (pp 136-40) sets out the need to study and explain the assumptions on which the theory and methodology of spatial studies are founded. Matthew Johnson (141-53) follows with 'Assumptions and interpretations in the study of the Great Rebuilding': Hoskins's definition of the late 16th/17th century 'Great Rebuilding' is re-examined on contextual principles, and in its place an approach based on the way space is organized within and between vernacular houses is put forward. Social relations within the household changed, bringing a reduction in the hall's importance and an increased provision of privacy, functional differentiation of rooms, etc. Paul Lane (181-92), 'Past practices in the ritual present: examples from the Welsh Bronze Age', focuses on Mount Pleasant Farm, Nottage (Glam) and suggests there was no simple change from domestic to ritual use, but that the site was already seen as a 'monument' when it was chosen for burial in its second phase. Similar sequences are noted on other Welsh sites and suggest further studies. Robin Boast & Christopher Evans (193-205) discuss 'The transformation of space: two examples from British prehistory': they examine a 1st millennium BC settlement (Haddenham) and the 3rd millennium BC Orkney stalled and chambered tombs, to show the distinction between a network-based spatial configuration and a defined public space/location. In both cases formal and relational criteria must have helped organise the space. | ||||||||
