Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. This publication presents a study of a wide range of evidence to reveal the use and meaning of dress accessories in daily life in two regions of Britain, c. AD 1300-1700. Dress accessory evidence from a variety of sites is brought together to reveal how the small personal possessions were highly significant objects and held important meanings for their owners. The archaeological finds that form the basis of the study vary from large, elaborate gold rings to small, simple copper alloy lace ends, and have been collated from excavated archives and the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS). The material is drawn from the eastern Anglo-Scottish and southern Anglo-Welsh border regions. A wide range of archaeological data is investigated alongside other evidence, namely contemporary artistic depictions, wills and literature.Standley investigates the accessories found in urban locations, rural villages and religious institutions within the two regions to understand the significance of the assemblages at these site types. Then the focus narrows to the exploration of the life-histories of individual accessories or types of objects, and their role in daily life. In the main body of the study the dress accessories are examined within themed chapters that follow a life-cycle from the forming of relationships and romance, to death and burial.The results reveal the relative homogenous nature of dress accessories within and between the two regions, differences and similarities in the types of objects found at different site types, and the potential of PAS data. The interdisciplinary study successfully marries contemporary evidence to help place the personal possessions into their context of use in the past. It also highlights how dress accessories are integral to our study of sexuality, memory and death, among other subjects, in the medieval period.This publication presents a study of a wide range of evidence to reveal the use and meaning of dress accessories in daily life in two regions of Britain, c.AD1300-1700.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The Watlington Hoard was discovered in southern Oxfordshire in 2015 by a metal-detectorist, and acquired by the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford in 2017. A nationally-important find of coinage and metalwork, and the first major Viking-Age hoard from the county, it dates from the late 870s, a fundamental and tumultuous period in Britain's history. The contents of the hoard include a highly significant collection of over 200 silver pennies, mostly of Alfred the Great, king of Wessex, and Ceolwulf II, king of Mercia, transforming our understanding of the coinage in this period, and 23 silver and gold pieces of contemporary metalwork much of which was derived from Scandinavia. Presenting the complete publication of the objects and coins in the Watlington Hoard - including an important re-assessment of the coinage of the late 870s - the authors discuss its wider implications for our understanding of hoarding in late 9th-century southern Britain, interactions between the kingdoms of Wessex and Mercia, and the movements of the Viking Great Army after the Battle of Edington in 878. The book also relates another side to the hoard's story, beginning with its discovery and excavation, charting its path through the conservation work and acquisition by the Ashmolean Museum to the public outreach projects which ran alongside the scholarly research into the hoard.…
