Reburial Of King Richard III

The Repton Long Barrow sits between the parish church and the River Esk in Repton, Bluffshire, U.K. Last summer, I examined evidence for previous disturbance(s) of the site and assessed the extent to which the original Neolithic burial mound remained intact. I excavated two different sites on the mound, one on the east end and another on the west end of the barrow. While excavating and cleaning each of the sections, I recovered artifacts and human bones. I was also able to draw a stratigraphic profile of each excavation site. Using documentary sources pertaining to the Repton Long Barrow site to assist in my interpretation of the history, I was able to reconstruct the

Connections of commonality and dissimilarity may be drawn between a multiplicity of texts through an appreciation of the values and attitudes with which they were composed. Accordingly, the values and attitudes of the individual being may be defined as an acute blend of externally induced, or contextual and internally triggered, or inherent factors. Cultural, historical, political, religious and social influences, dictated by the nature of one’s surroundings, imprint a variable pattern of values and attitudes upon the individual. Thus any deviation in any such factor may instigate an alteration of the contextual component of one’s perspective. By contrast, the

Death by Theory, written by Adrian Praetzellis, is an engaging and informational book written in a novelistic way that engages the reader to think critically about archaeology. Compared to other forms of informational text about archaeology, Death by Theory teaches archaeological theory by telling a story that incorporates the different theories of archaeology in a realistic setting. While standard textbooks about the theory of archaeology can come off a bit dry, Death by Theory skips the standard definitions and applies this in a way that aids the reader in understanding how these theories and terms can be applied in an actual archaeological setting. This text illustrates the adventure of plucky archaeologist Dr. Hannah Green and her nephew Sean Doyle as they seek to explain an unusual archaeological site while dealing with real life archaeological struggles. The protagonists deal with an egotistical colleague of Dr. Green who sought her out as a consult on a particularly strange archaeological case. All the while dealing with cults, the media, and incompatible data.

Years ago, in 1939, several fascinating, Anglo-Saxon objects were unearthed in Suffolk, England, on land owned by Edith Pretty. There were several ancient burial mounds on her property, and she wanted them to be searched. When investigated, a fossil of a ship was found, and within it several discoveries were made (The Sutton Hoo). It has been said that the objects found belonged to the Anglo-Saxon king, Raedwald. However, who these objects belonged to is a widely debated question, and will never be definitely known, for there were never any bodies found upon the ship. Among the royal treasures found was the Sutton Hoo helmet, which has been widely discussed and studied. Another object found in the search was the Sutton Hoo whetstone sceptre.

In 2012 the human remains of what was believed to be of King Richard III were discovered under a parking lot in Leicester. Analysis and historical documentation support that these remains were in fact Richard III. The remains were of a 30 years old male with gracile features and severe scoliosis, he was found with severe head trauma that more than likely was the cause of death. The writers of this article; Angela L. Lamb, Jane E. Evans, Richard Buckley, and Jo Appleby use isotope analysis to discuss and reconstruct Richards diet and migration history. Their analysis consisted of two teeth, one femur, and one rib bone. They were hoping that they could use historical documentation and isotope findings to help reconstruct Richards life, and they would gain knowledge about his diet and migration history. This article explains that this case was new at the time and these were only preliminary findings but with continued research they were hoping to find out more about this unpopular King.

Generally, the English people had a great celebration when Charles II returned to the throne in May of 1660.1 Many believed that restoring the monarchy was the only way to secure constitutional rights. In fact, there was an expectation that bringing back the king would return life to the way it was before 1642 and the rule of Cromwell. Charles II was responsible for improving the government for the people. However, despite some achievements, the king was not very successful in creating a stronger and more effective monarchy. He was dependent on his advisors and other parts of the government from the very beginning of his reign. There were constant conflicts between the king and

Stonehenge, the prehistoric monument located in England, remains one of the most famous sites in the world. With so many eyes focused on this historic and mysterious landmark, it’s easy to forget the history of surrounding area, which is comprised of a complex of Neolithic and Bronze monuments, as well as an array of burial grounds. Little did anyone know, a vast stone arrangement was located less than two miles away - much to the surprise of a team of archaeologists.

Excavations at the prehistoric site of Boxgrove in Eartham Quarry, Boxgrove, West Sussex, England were carried out, primarily, between 1983 and 1992 with the analysis of the finds from the site occurring between 1983 and 1989 (Roberts 1999:xix).

Last year, the city of Colchester, England decided to expand the building of a local public school due to a growing population. The land on which the school is built holds an abundant amount of archaeological information relevant to the history of Colchester. This data was only briefly reached in 1911 when amateur archaeologist, Henry Jones, was given permission to quickly excavate the site. This came about after century old human remains were discovered during the construction of the original school. From his excavations, Jones’ concluded that the remains of the three bodies discovered were killed during the Boudiccan Rebellion in 60-61 CE. Due to the circumstances under which Jones’ performed his excavations, he was not able to produce a stratigraphic section of the site. Jones also failed to keep any written record of his excavations and the remaining artifacts and remains have since been lost. With the expansion of the school in Colchester, it is my job to perform a thorough excavation of the site before construction begins.

A: King Richard I was born on September 8, 1157 most likely at Beaumont Palace, in Oxford, England. His father was King Henry II of England and his mother was Eleanor of Aquitaine. Richard was not the eldest son amongst his siblings as he had two older siblings, however, he would’ve had three older siblings if King Henry II’s first born, William IX, didn’t die during his infancy. Richard also had four younger siblings and he was the youngest of two half siblings. His father, King Henry, was Norman-Angevin and descends from William the Conquerer as his great-grandson. Historian Ralph of Diceto mapped Henry’s heritage through Matilda of Scotland all the way to Anglo-Saxon kings of England including Alfred the Great, which links to Noah and Woden ("Richard "the Lionheart", King of England"). In relation to Queen Elizabeth II, King Richard I is her 21st great-granduncle ("King Richard I The Lion Heart | Britroyals").
