Raktažodžiai:
Stratton, Biggleswade: 1,300 years of village life in eastern Bedfordshire from the 5th century AD presents the results of 12 hectares of archaeological excavation undertaken between 1990 and 2001. As well as uncovering roughly half of the medieval village, the investigations revealed that Stratton's origins stretched back to the early Anglo-Saxon period, with the settlement remaining in continuous use through to c. 1700. In contrast to many of the other major excavations of Anglo-Saxon settlements, the evidence from Stratton provides insights into the lives of a low-status rural community, whose development can be traced over the course of more than a millennium. This book presents a chronological account of Stratton's development; evidence for its economy, trading relations, industrial activities and agricultural landscape; and a discussion of how people lived and died there before the village was finally extinguished by the creation of the classic estate landscape of Stratton Park. --

Recenzijos

This report marks a useful interim stage in our understanding of Stratton. Now the accumulated data can be used to devise a clear picture of the settlements development with plans of each period which select the most important features.  Christopher Dyer (2022): Medieval Settlement Research, Vol. 37 'Overall this is an invaluable report on a fascinating site, although it would have been useful to learn of the landscape as it was in the 19th century including the Roman road that ran through the site and its two remnant moated manorial sites as a background to the excavation plans.' Stephen Rippon (2022): Medieval Archaeology, 66/2 '...the volume's many contributors have made a significant contribution to medieval archaeology.' Stephen Mileson (2023): Current Archaeology 391
