Abstract
Why that? Why there? Why then?; The politics of early medieval monumentality
Martin O H Carver
1 - 22
the author presents a hypothesis which considers the meanings of the major structures and artefacts of the early medieval period in north-west Europe, such as burial mounds, churches, illuminated manuscripts and sculpture, and suggests that these represent different strategies and political stances in the context of Christianization and the rejection of paganism
Whithorn, Latinus and the origins of Christianity in northern Britain
Peter H Hill
23 - 32
the paper discusses archaeological, documentary and epigraphic evidence for the origins of the Whithorn settlement and its association with early Christianity in Scotland
Space, silence and shortage on Lindisfarne: the archaeology of asceticism
Deirdre Mary O'Sullivan
33 - 52
the paper examines the extent to which ascetic practice is manifest in the material culture of early medieval monasteries, and the insight into the integrity of early Christian perspectives given by study of the monastic landscape; the monastery of Lindisfarne is taken as the specific focus of study
Monuments in a landscape: the early medieval sculpture of St David's
Nancy Edwards
53 - 77
the paper examines the large group of early medieval carved stone monuments from St David's and its environs, with the aim of shedding light upon the changing contacts between St David's and elsewhere, including Ireland, Anglo-Saxon England and the Mediterranean
Wealth, waste and conspicuous consumption: Flixborough and its importance for Middle and Late...
Christopher Loveluck
78 - 130
in an interim report on the post-excavation analysis of excavations within the parish of Flixborough, north Lincolnshire, between 1989 and 1991, the author examines the evidence for a detailed picture of many aspects of daily life on a high-status settlement during the Middle and Late Saxon periods, and the changing character of occupation during this time
From Isidore to isotopes: ivory rings in early medieval graves
Catherine Hills
131 - 146
the author examines the evidence of ivory rings recovered from Anglo-Saxon graves as evidence of long-distance trade via the Mediterranean. The indications for the use of elephant ivory, rather than walrus or fossil mammoth, is discussed, as is its probable derivation from Africa rather than India, and the continuation of long-distance trade following the decline of the Western Empire. The date-range, frequency and distribution, and possible use of the rings are described, along with the age, sex and status of the associated individuals
