Identity, Place and Society in Early Medieval Norfolk

TWO AHRC funded Collaborative Doctoral Awards
University of Bradford and Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery
Starting October 2013

Many studies have now been undertaken examining Anglo-Saxon burial and  
identity, but most have focussed on a particular period of burial, and  
are often related to specific types of cemetery (e.g. Buckberry 2004;  
Cherryson 2005; Geake 1997; Stoodley 1999; Lucy 1998; Reynolds 2009).  
Our proposed research project will instead span the entirety of the  
Anglo-Saxon period, directly comparing the people buried in early  
‘pagan’, middle ‘conversion’ and later ‘Christian’ cemeteries. It will  
weave together data from the burial context – cemetery type, grave  
type and grave inclusions, including the remains of animals which may  
have been placed as food, companions or to convey shamanistic roles  
(Bond 1996) – with the biological identity, ascertained via  
osteological analysis, of the individuals. This will be achieved  
through two linked doctoral research projects:

1) Burial and identity in early medieval Norfolk
This research will encompass a detailed analysis of the types of  
cemetery and the differing forms of burial within these cemeteries  
throughout the early medieval period. Through the comparison of  
biological identity (age, sex) and mode of burial, this research will  
reveal important patterns in the way identity was expressed through  
burial rites throughout the Anglo-Saxon period. Importantly it will  
assess the changes observed in burial form around the time of the  
Conversion and associated with the two diasporas - to what extent did  
these important events alter burial provision, or were they merely  
historically noted pin points within a longer period of gradual  
change? To what extent were social aspects of identity such as age,  
sex and status reflected in burial rites, and did this vary throughout  
the period?

Supervised by: Dr Jo Buckberry (UoB), Dr Julie Bond (UoB) and Dr Tim  
Pestell (NCMAG)

2) People and animals in early medieval cemeteries
Work by Bond and others has demonstrated that the Anglo-Saxons of  
eastern England routinely included animal offerings in cremations and  
less often in inhumations. In the past these bones have been regarded  
as simple food offerings but research suggests that animals played  
many different roles, perhaps as food, status, transport, companions,  
or to convey shamanistic beliefs. This project will reassess the  
evidence for animal offerings (whole animals, body parts, amulets and  
other artefacts made from animals) in inhumations and cremations from  
Norfolk. The research will consider the range, age and completeness of  
animals, patterns of burial, taphonomy and treatment of the animals  
and possible animal symbolism in order to understand the roles that  
they may have played in the burial ritual. This project will also  
investigate grave goods in later burials which may show continuity of  
earlier beliefs and new ideas from Scandinavian culture.

Supervised by: Dr Julie Bond (UoB), Dr Jo Buckberry (UoB) and Dr Tim  
Pestell (NCMAG)

Funding and working arrangements:
Both students will be registered full time at the University of  
Bradford. They are expected to be based in Bradford for the first and  
third years of study, and in Norwich for the second year of study.  
While in Bradford, the students will be offered the opportunity to  
gain teaching experience. While in Norwich, the students will gain  
experience of working in a museum environment, to include public  
outreach activities.

Both studentships are fully funded (fees + maintenance). Each student  
will receive a maintenance grant of £13,726 per annum plus an  
additional £550 per annum towards any additional expenses incurred  
while working at the partner institution (NCMAG)

How to Apply:

Please apply via our online application form:

https://evision.brad.ac.uk/urd/sits.urd/run/siw_ipp_lgn.login?process=siw_ipp_app&code1=WEBAPP&code2=0004

In your personal statement, please identify the doctoral project(s)  
you wish to apply for and pay particular attention to how your skills  
and experience will enable you to succeed. We are happy to receive  
applications for both studentships, but please indicate which one  
would be your first choice.

Along with an application form the following supporting documents are  
normally required:
•	Degree certificates/transcripts
•	Contact details for two referees
•	Evidence of English language (if required)

There is a facility to upload these documents at the end of the  
process. We prefer you to submit your application form and supporting  
materials electronically. This will help us to process your  
application more rapidly.

You must satisfy the eligibility criteria, both academic and  
residential, which are set by the AHRC for all of its postgraduate  
funding schemes. For information on these criteria, and on the nature  
and purposes of the studentships provided by the AHRC, please consult  
section 7 of the AHRC Student Funding Guide  
(http://www.ahrc.ac.uk/SiteCollectionDocuments/Student-Funding-Guide.pdf)

Closing date: Wednesday 10th July at 5pm.  Interviews will be held on
