I am pleased to announce that Issue 13 of Internet Archaeology has opened
with a new article
"Travelling Beneath Crows: Representing socio-geographical
concepts of time and travel in early medieval England"
by LA Symonds and RJ Ling
http://intarch.ac.uk/journal/issue13/index.html
This article focuses on the production and consumption of artefacts,
specifically pottery, in Anglo-Scandinavian Lincolnshire. The authors used
approximations of distance based on road and river routes, as well as the
estimations of the time it took to travel along those routes during the
early medieval period, to analyse the pottery distribution in
Lincolnshire. This approach raises a number of questions concerning the
articulation of the pottery trade between the rural and urban populace of
late Anglo-Saxon England.
The article also contains a 'Java' map interface which mimics the
interactive abilities of a GIS and allows readers to investigate the
patterns of data for themselves.
Reviews
=======
Also new to this issue, a review by Chris Gaffney of 'Ramsey Abbey - An
Archaeological Survey' (CD-Rom) and a review by Thomas Pickles on the
CD-Rom and book 'Historic Parishes of England and Wales: An Electronic Map
of Boundaries before 1850 with a Gazetteer and Metadata'.
Note that articles appear in Internet Archaeology as and when they are
ready. There are several more articles to appear in this issue before it
is 'closed'.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
