Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Archaeologists studying the Anglo-Saxon period in England are familiar with the idea that communities appropriated ancient monuments when burying their dead. It has also been shown that early monuments were reused as meeting places in this era, as the locations for churches, and as pre-Christian shrine sites. Little research, however, has been carried out into the role of these monuments in Anglo-Saxon settlements. Indeed, as recently as 2003 it has been written that early Anglo-Saxons appear to have avoided living near prehistoric burial mounds. This paper sets out to demonstrate that this was not the case. Beginning with a brief discussion of the methods used to identify settlements with reuse, it then presents some examples from a number of published and unpublished sites. This is followed by a discussion highlighting several patterns that are emerging from the data. | ||
