Scotland has an abundance of archaeology all throughout the country and all within different parts of prehistory. Scottish archaeology has a big impact on both the rest of the UK and on the rest of Europe. Although during the beginning of the 20th century, archaeology was seen as nothing more than labour, with the help of the two great men which held ‘the Abercromby chair’ – both with their own contributions to Scottish archaeology as a whole – it soon rocketed into the discipline what we see today.

The website was easy to navigate and the information was displayed in an organized manner. The article was written by a history professor, Dr. Ellis L. Knox, at Boise State University. The professor has an M.A in Medieval history and a Ph.D in Early European history. The information on this

The medieval times was filled with ideas based just around the church. As the Renaissance began, the arts developed into a freer and move creative society based on more Greek and Roman ideas. “Finding the feudal and ecclesiastical literature and Gothic art of the

In the 7th Century AD, an important individual was buried inside a ship in East Anglia. The ship most likely hauled up from the nearby river, a burial chamber was built in the center of the massive vessel. Luckily grave robbers did not reach the ship burial as they did other nearby burial mounds, because the ship was rich in history and artifacts including gold, silver, bowls, spoons, weapons, drinking horns and much more. Originally discovered in 1939, the artifacts and ship burial have been closely examined another 2 times. The artifacts found within the magnificent burial site have created a lot of stir over the past 80 years. Theories have changed on the significance and origins of the artifacts due to changing hypothesis or the arrival of new and different evidence. Because there are dozens of artifacts within Sutton Hoo, this paper will be focusing on a select four of them including; the ‘baptismal’ spoons, the Merovingian coin hoard, the whetstone, and the scepter. According to scholars over the past 80 years, how have opinions, evidence, or assumptions changed relating to these exact artifacts? This paper will be taking a contemporary look at the perspectives of different scholars on different artifacts and, finally, analyze why these perspectives have shifted or changed over time. To my knowledge, scholars do give credit to previous perspectives, but no scholar has every brought all the perspectives together and analyzed their findings.

At Sutton Hoo in 1939, an ancient ship burial and treasure was found. In the article “Sutton Hoo and Europe, AD 300-1100” from the British Museum website, it explains the Sutton Hoo find and its significance to archaeology: “The Sutton Hoo ship burial provides remarkable insights into early Anglo-Saxon England. It reveals a place of exquisite craftsmanship and extensive international connections, spanning Europe and beyond. It also shows that the world of great halls, glittering treasures and formidable warriors described in Anglo-Saxon poetry was not a myth” (“Sutton Hoo”). The Sutton Hoo find is very important in the understanding of the Anglo Saxon culture. The ship burial at Sutton Hoo, also known as

Seldom has history been brought to life in such an extravagant, lavish, yet poignant way as in the discovery and reburial of the bones of one of England’s most infamous monarchs, King Richard III. The whereabouts of Richard’s remains were a mystery for 530 years. In an exercise of extraordinary scholarship, involving a closely knit team of experts in archaeology, engineering, forensics, genetics, geology, history and medicine, and hailed as “as one of the most astonishing archaeological hunches in modern history” (1), the remains were discovered in a parking lot near the Cathedral of Leicester. Interestingly, the excavators decided to look in a spot marked with an “R” which no one knew the origin or meaning

The project for Sagalassos is different because there are two websites. One website is clearly created by the first director Marc Waelkens and is part of Archaeology Magazine and the Archaeological Institute of America’s Interactive Dig promotion. The field notes from 2003-2010 are available, divided into the different types of studies they conducted each season. Small blog posts about the daily life of each week are found on the front page. This website focuses primarily on the Roman artifacts found that date to the empire Hadrian and the Antonine Dynasty. The links to specific finds send the audience to articles published by the Archaeological Institute of America. Innovative at the time, the website includes different maps of the site from

The second topic I researched was leisure and entertainment in the middle ages. I found that entertainment was a lot more different than present day leisure. First I learned that men and women in that time period enjoyed a lot more time off from work then modern day people. The second thing that I learned is that when they had carnivals, festivals and fairs they were extremely colorful. The last thing that I learned was that the medieval churches often disliked most of the activity’s in the

in spite of the nomadic way of life of “Barbarians”, the early medieval period is characterized by the increase of art and architecture. The art of Germanic tribes is represented by the Migration Period art. This trend in art comprises of the Migration art of continental Germanic tribes and the Anglo-Saxon and Hiberno-Saxon art, and Celtic art power on the British Isles, which is often referred to as the insular art. One of the archeologists at Sutton Hoo found an Anglo-Saxon grave containing utensils, coins, weapons, and jewelry. The quality “barbarian” art reflects the artistic originality and technical complexity were by no means the monopoly of the Germanic societies.

1. Some of the sources that have helped medieval sources survive include the resources used to make the source, climate the artifact was found, and location of these pieces of history. Much of what was used to make these source materials was made out of solid objects such as gold, silver, and stone that can withstand the test of time. Location plays a role in the finding of medieval sources, because some medieval men hid their valuables from invaders. In some cases, these men never make it back to there hidden treasures and leave it for the modern man to find. Although there are many cases of documentation of the medieval era being lost, the author states there are “During the War it became clear that the Archivio was vulnerable to bombing, and so in 1943 the greater part of its oldest material was moved to a seventh-century country house, the Villa Montesano, near Nola.” showing how some men during the war took dyer measures to save medieval artifacts. Other surviving artifacts from the medieval period survived from the Middle East and Northern Africa. These dry desert
