Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
By their very nature monuments survive over long periods of time. The process of interpretation described in the previous lecture did not end during the prehistoric period; it still concerns us today. The final lecture considers how certain monuments were reinterpreted in the early Medieval period when particular examples, ranging in date from Neolithic to Roman times were brought back into use as high status sites. This process can be compared with the invention of traditions and in certain cases served to legitimise the position of new elites. Even the selection of sites for renewal shows a certain patterning, and this may shed light on the origin myths of different groups in the post-Roman world. The argument is illustrated by 'royal sites' in the British Isles. | ||
