This interesting volume celebrates the work of Frans Theuws, who “for a long time was the only professor of Medieval Archaeology in the Netherlands” (p. 6), and collects papers given at a symposium celebrating his sixty-fifth birthday in July 2018. The opening part considers Roman sites, and includes Stijn Heeren and Nico Roymans, “Contextualising ethnicity and the rhetoric of burial rites in Late Antique Northern Gaul: the evidence from settlements and precious metal circulations,” which revisits the issue of whether grave goods belonged to the deceased, and notes Theuws’ extension of Guy Halsall’s argument that the objects reflected Roman ideals, and the related issue of whether ethnically distinctive settlements are identifiable. This focus on Theuws’ critical perspective is continued Mayke de Jong’s “From Cordoba to Bellagio: Frans Theuws and the transformation of the Roman world (1993-1998),” which reviews recent digs, and introduces new evidence, such as DNA, in the mapping of the field.

In search of the invisible farm. Looking for archaeological evidence oflate medieval rural settlementin the sandy landscapes of the Netherlands (1250-1650 A. D.) Pátrání po neviditelné usedlosti. Hledánî archeologických dokladu pozdne středověkého venkovského osidlenî v pse cnych typech krajiny v Nizozemsku (1250-1650 n. 1.) Jan van Doesburg -Bert Groenewoudt The roots of most modern landscapes in the sandy areas in tbe Nortb, East andSout th of heNetherlands are essentially medieval or post-medieval, although their babitalion history reaches back deep into prebistory. Unfortunately research illlo (post-) met/ieval settiement patterns is bamperetl by the fact t.bat -in comptuison 1oith preceding periotls -the arcbaeological visibility of farm buildings constructed afier ca. 1250 is generally very bad, whereas extant farms are rarely oftler than ca. 1650 Tbis gap is caused by, on tbe one band, the introduetion of new buidling tecJmiques that render farmhouses essenlitûly invisible, and on the other the deslruction of arcbaeological evidence due to the continuous use of late met/ieval farmsteads rigbt upto thepresent. The period of ca. 1250-1650tbere.fore represents a gap in archaeological record. In this short paper we will analyze this problem and sugges/ afewpossib/e answers; !bere are, however, no easy solutions.
Medieval Archaeology Volume 4 Introduction
https://www.routledge.com/Medieval-Archaeology/Gilchrist/p/book/9780415718165 Focusing on the archaeology of medieval Europe (c. 1000–1550AD), this new four-volume collection from Routledge enables researchers and advanced students to make better sense of a vast—and rapidly growing—corpus of scholarship. The gathered materials have been carefully selected to highlight the key issues and debates in the development and contemporary practice of Medieval Archaeology, and each volume includes a comprehensive introduction newly written by the editor. Medieval Archaeology is an essential work of reference. It is destined to be valued by specialists—as well as those working in allied areas such as Medieval Studies, History, and Art History—as a vital one-stop research tool.
