Free Download Neolithic Pits, Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age Pit Alignments and Iron Age to Roman Settlements at Wollaston Quarry, Northamptonshire by Rob Atkins, Ian Meadows

Between 1990 and 1998, MOLA (Museum of London Archaeology) undertook a series of archaeological excavations within Wollaston Quarry covering an area of 116ha. Eight excavation areas and a watching brief were undertaken. The proximity of the River Nene and at least four palaeochannels formed the dominant natural landscape features. This dynamic environment affected settlement and land use throughout prehistoric and Roman periods. Seventeen pits, largely in small groups, were identified containing early Neolithic to late Neolithic/early Bronze Age pottery. Some of these features were located within the area of the palaeochannels. Later, of especial interest was a notable collection of eleven different late Bronze Age to early Iron Age pit alignments, which were part of a co-axial landscape over an area of 2.5km. There was also a small area of domestic activity reflected by pits dating to the early Iron Age as well as two large watering holes in other locations. The pit alignment boundaries influenced subsequent settlement from the middle Iron Age to the late Roman periods. While individual settlements and related agricultural enclosures changed location over time, they followed the same alignments as the earlier pit alignments suggesting some form of continuity for over 800 years. In the middle to late Iron Age four separate farmsteads were established of which two overlaid the former pit alignments. All four comprised sub-rectangular enclosed farmsteads with internal roundhouses and paddocks. Towards the end of the Iron Age at least one of the middle Iron Age settlements was abandoned, while at roughly the same time an unenclosed settlement was created nearby which continued to the late Roman period. Overall, within the quarry, six new late Iron Age and Roman settlements were established and two more have been preserved without excavation. In the middle Roman period, there was extensive and organised agriculture activity which included two vineyards in two different parts of the site as well as two areas of paddock type enclosures. This level of planning suggests significant investment and could reflect the development by a villa estate. In the early to middle Saxon period there were four different areas of activity which comprised a sunken featured building, pits and a late 7th century grave of a high-status Anglian warrior burial (the latter has previously been reported on separately).

Free Download Mirrors of the Divine: Late Ancient Christianity and the Vision of God by Emily R. Cain
English | February 13, 2023 | ISBN: 0197663370 | 224 pages | MOBI | 1.23 Mb
Mirrors of the Divine brings into focus how four influential authors of the late ancient world-Tertullian of Carthage, Clement of Alexandria, Gregory of Nyssa, and Augustine of Hippo-employ language of vision and of mirrors in their discursive struggles to construct Christian agency, identity, and epistemology. Early Christian authors described the vision of God through the Pauline verse 1 Corinthians 13:12: "For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face." Yet each author interpreted this verse differently, based on a diverse set of assumptions about how they understood seeing and mirrors to function: does vision occur by something leaving or entering the eye? Is one impacted by seeing or by being seen? Do mirrors offer trustworthy knowledge?

Free Download Réka Krizmanics, "Historical Knowledge Production Cultures in Late Socialist Hungary and Croatia: Expertise Unsettled"
English | ISBN: 1666933236 | 2024 | 250 pages | PDF | 1161 KB
Historical Knowledge Production Cultures in Late Socialist Hungary and Croatia: Expertise Unsettled offers a comparative study and analysis from the Hungarian case, and integrating academic, party, and popular historiography into a single analytical framework. Narratives concerning the history of the interwar period and the Second World War, and circumstances of their elaboration are at the forefront of this study. Réka Krizmanics argues that even within state socialist Eastern Europe, different enabling and restrictive factors were at play, and investigates the specificities of late socialism while embedding them in the context of their interwar, Stalinist and post-Stalinist legacies. "Expertise Unsettled" refers to the growing peril of historians, who proved to be often divided among themselves, and were increasingly on the defense as a guild, when literature, cinema, and interested non-professionals got involved in making and criticizing narratives of the recent past. Party history and party historians have been often sidelined in intellectual history, but the author argues that their inclusion is crucial both for a more complex understanding of what (late) state socialism meant for historians and to historicize practices of contemporary post-socialist, especially illiberal memory regimes.

Free Download Frances Nethercott, "Writing History in Late Imperial Russia: Scholarship and the Literary Canon "
English | ISBN: 1350130400 | 2019 | 296 pages | EPUB | 602 KB
It is commonly held that a strict divide between literature and history emerged in the 19th century, with the latter evolving into a more serious disciple of rigorous science. Yet, in turning to works of historical writing during late Imperial Russia, Frances Nethercott reveals how this was not so; rather, she argues, fiction, lyric poetry, and sometimes even the lives of artists, consistently and significantly shaped historical enquiry.
