SETTLEMENT CHANGE ACROSS MEDIEVAL EUROPE OLD PARADIGMS AND NEW VISTAS
Ruralia XII, 2019
This paper titled 'transformation and continuity in the Wexford countryside' explores the Cistercian monastery of Tintern Abbey. Tintern is among the the very rare examples in the Irish landscape where the monastic buildings and lands can be traced through just two distinct ownership groups from the 13th to the 20th centuries. The story of Tintern is one of constant reinvention and transformation, where each successive generation left their mark. It is also a story of continuity, where the lands and the abbey remained as a complete unit at its core for in excess of 700 years. The following essay will explore some of the many transitions that took place at Tintern Abbey in this period.
Settlement change across Medieval Europe, 2019
The idea that the past was an era with long periods of little or no change is almost certainly false. Change has always affected human society. Some of the catalysts for change were exogenous and lay in natural transformations, such as climate change or plant and animal diseases. Others came from endogamous processes, such as demographic change and the resulting alterations in demographic pressure. They might be produced by economic changes in the agrarian economy such as crop- or stock-breeding or better agricultural husbandry systems with the resultant greater harvests. Equally, they might be from technological developments in industry and manufacturing affecting traditional forms of production. We should also note changes in ideology within society and even between principal groups, such as secular and ecclesiastical bodies. We need to consider the impact of politics and warfare. These innovations, transmissions and transformations had profound spatial, economic and social impacts on the environments, landscapes and habitats evident at micro-, meso- and macro-levels. Changes, alterations and modifications may affect how land was worked, how it was organized, and the nature of buildings and rural complexes (homesteads, work buildings, villages, monasteries, towns and landscapes). The authors of the 36 papers focus in particular on transmissions and transformations in a longue durée perspective, such as from early medieval times (c. 500AD) to the High Middle Ages (c. 1000/1200 AD), and from medieval to post-medieval and early modern times (1700). The case studies include the shrinking and disappearance of settlements; changes in rule and authority; developments in the agrarian economy; the shift from handwork to manufacturing; demographic change.
RURALIA is an international association for the archaeology of medieval settlement and rural life. It provides a European-wide platform for the scientific exchange on current problems in rural archeology in order to strengthen comparative and interdisciplinary studies. The conference covers the period from the Early Medieval to the Early Modern Period, the centuries from 500-1700 AD. The conference languages are English, French and German. RURALIA XII will take place in Kilkenny, (County Kilkenny, Ireland) a city in the south-east of Ireland. The theme will be: “Transitions and Transformation in the Medieval and Early Modern Countryside”.
Rural settlement in later medieval Ireland through the lens of deserted settlements
SETTLEMENT CHANGE ACROSS MEDIEVAL EUROPE OLD PARADIGMS AND NEW VISTAS. RURALAI XII, 2019
Deserted settlements in Ireland draw comparisons with the phenomenon observed across medieval Europe. Two case studies are presented: one from the well-colonised south-east region; the other from the north-west, where Anglo-Norman inroads were slower. Rather than describing the details of each settlement, the paper focuses on questions that deal with the foundation of settlements and on their demise. Such questions, though acknowledged, are rarely investigated.
