Bu çalışma, "Ardahan Kale ve Kuleleri" adlı kitabın bölümlerinden biridir. Bu kitap içi bölümde, Ardahan'ın Eskiçağ'dan Türk fetihlerine kadar tarihçesi üzerinde durulmuş ve şehrin isminin kökenine ilişkin bir başlığa yer verilmiştir.
Son yıllarda yapılan bilimsel araştırmalarla birlikte Eskiçağ ve Ortaçağ arkeolojik vaziyetinin Transkafkasya (Güney Kafkasya) arkeolojisiyle
oldukça örtüştüğü anlaşılan Ardahan, Doğu Karadeniz ve Kuzeydoğu Anadolu Bölgeleri ile Transkafkasya’yı birleştiren stratejik bir coğrafi konuma sahiptir. Batıda Karadeniz sahil şeridinin son ili Artvin ile
komşu olan Ardahan’ın güneyinde Erzurum ve Kars illeri, kuzeydoğusunda Gürcistan ve doğusunda Ermenistan yer alır. Transkafkasya ülkelerinde, özellikle Tunç ve Demir Çağları kültürlerine ilişkin hatırı sayılır araştırma ve arkeolojik kazı yapılmışsa da bu bölgenin komşusu olan Kuzeydoğu Anadolu için aynı değerlendirmeyi ne yazık ki yapamamaktayız. Özellikle Ardahan ili, Anadolu coğrafyasında arkeolojik araştırmaların en az yürütüldüğü yerlerden biri olmuştur. Bu nedenle şehrin tarihi ve arkeolojik geçmişi üzerine toplanan veriler, akademik anlamda tatmin edici bir düzeye erişememiştir. Yine de inanıyoruz ki, 2008 yılında kurulan Ardahan Üniversitesinin bünyesinde gerçekleştirilmekte olan ve yakın gelecekte daha da kapsamlı bir şekilde sürdürülecek bilimsel çalışmalar, şehrin tarihi, sanat tarihi ve arkeolojik
dokusunu çok daha detaylı bir şekilde yansıtacaktır.

Breunsdorf liegt im Süden der Leipziger Tieflandsbucht. Für den fortschreitenden Braunkohlenabbau im Tagebau Schleenhain wurde der Ort in den Jahren 1994 bis 1996 abgerissen. Aus diesem Anlass wurde auch die Breunsdorfer Kirche vollständig ausgegraben.
Die Kirche bildete den topographischen und geistigen Mittelpunkt Breunsdorfs. Durch baugeschichtliche Untersuchungen des aufgehenden Mauerwerks vor ihrem Abbruch und die anschließenden archäologischen Ausgrabungen kann die interessante Entwicklung des Gebäudes nachgezeichnet werden, das fast die gesamte Geschichte des Dorfes begleitet hat. Das einheitliche Erscheinungsbild unserer Zeit täuschte darüber hinweg, dass der Kirchenraum über Jahrhunderte schrittweise vergrößert wurde, um mit dem Wachstum der Gemeinde Schritt zu halten.

Abstract: during the building in Don Belogorsky Resurrection Monastery a cave which was earlier unknown was found. There were the items of the religious cult and the culture of the founders of the cave that dates from the end of the XVIII century (a crucifi xion, a pendent in the form of a heart, an adze, shoes, a silicic fl ake, candles, a coin etc.). Such fi ndings didn’t occur earlier among numerous chalk caves. Not only do they allow to present the work of the caves’ founders, but also to elicit new aspects that highlight a spiritual quest of the folk eastern orthodox
traditions in the zone of contact of the russian and ukrainian ethnies.

As part of ongoing research into the early medieval sculptural heritage of the Cheshire region, Joanne Kirton and Dr Meggen Gondek of the University of Chester conducted resistivity survey in two fields surrounding St Edith’s Church, Shocklach (NGR SJ 4318 5016). The survey was conducted over three days, October 29 – 31, providing training opportunities for undergraduate students from the University of Chester. Results confirmed the presence of ridge and furrow and several previously unknown features of indeterminate nature.

Sorø Monastery's Cemetery for Laymen. The 2006 Archaeological Excavation of tombs outside the north Transept.
Prior to the construction of a new extension on the north side of the church the National Museum excavated 24 square meters. 25 graves were discovered and 15 of them excavated. 9 skeletons were examined at the University of Copenhagen; they turned out to be five men, two women and two children. There were 6 stone coffin-graves made of bricks and roofed with tiles. In one of these brick graves a woman was buried. Dating of the graves was difficult. But at least 8 of the graves are medieval, as brick coffins are commonly dated from late 12th to 14th century and two other graves are older. According to the Cistercian rule monks were buried without coffins and from what we know about the location of the monasteries cemeteries, it was usually the cemetery of the laymen which was located on the north side of the church. One grave without a coffin and older than brick graves was located in a different orientation that all the rest of the graves. Perhaps this is an indication of the location and orientation of the church's predecessor from the abbey's Benedictine times.
It is far from the first time stone coffin-graves have been discovered and excavated in the site of Sorø Monastery. The first record in Antikvarisk-Topografisk Arkiv is from 1826. The stone coffins are made of bricks travertine or fieldstones. The grave of archbishop and founder of the Cistercian convent in Sorø, Absalon (1201) has been opened and examined three times in 1536, 1827 and 1947.

During an archaeological excavation in August 2013, a stone footing of an old church was found on the small hill of Ristimäki in the village of Ravattula in Kaarina, Southwest Finland. The remains have been dated to the end of the Finnish Crusade period, in other words to the beginning of the Early Middle Ages (mid-12th century–early 13th century), and thus far they can be considered the oldest remains of an ecclesiastical building known in Finland. Although the excavations on the site are still ongoing, the finds already open new perspectives on many questions regarding early medieval history and church history, such as Christianity, the Christianisation process, and the ecclesiastical organisation, both in Finland and more generally on the periphery of the Catholic Church.

THE NEW ARCHIVE INFORMATION ABOUT CAVES IN GALIEVKA IN PODONYE (REVISITING MOTIVATION OF CAVE DIGGERS AND AUTHORITIES’ ATTITUDE TO THEM). The paper deals with the history of artificial cave in chalk bank of the river Don near Galievka village. It is written on the basis of archive information found by V.V. Stepkin in 2014. There was information about the names of the cave creators: Aleksey Dubov (began digging in 1817) and Miron Gnoevoy (continued digging in 1865). In the letter to tsar Aleksandr II written by peasant Miron Gnoevoy explains motivation of the cave builders by visitation of Holy Mother and saints. The report of archbishop Seraphim published in the article helps understand motivation of the authorities who prohibited the cave building because they were afraid of superstitious beliefs and offense against the law. The article demonstrates the difficult relations inside the developing civil society institutions represented by peasant community of the village of Galievka and the state authority.

Excavation at the Barbican site in York in 2007-8 revealed burials situated within and adjacent to the cobble foundation of the medieval church of All Saints Fishergate. A total of 667 individuals were analysed osteologically. 7 Roman inhumations and fragments of cremated bone indicate funerary practices taking place on the site since the Roman occupation of York. 547 individuals dated to the medieval period comprise the attritional population associated with the church of All Saint’s, Fishergate. 10 post medieval mass graves contained a total of 113 individuals which were tightly packed and arranged in parallel rows. Demographically these individuals are primarily males aged between 15 and 45 years of age. This mortality profile is characteristic of a military group subjected to a catastrophic event. Given the post medieval date for the graves it is possible that they relate to the English Civil War, more specifically the 1644 Siege of York. The All Saint’s Fishergate site therefore comprises a multi-period site with significant funerary associations.

In einer außergewöhnlichen Rettungsaktion und mit einem finanziellem Aufwand von 1,5 Millionen € ist es in den letzten 15 Jahren gelungen, die zuletzt einsturzgefährdete alte Pfarrkirche St. Peter in Körrenzig (Stadt Linnich, Kreis Düren) zu sichern und vollständig zu renovieren.
In diesem Band wird die über 1000-jährige Geschichte der Kirche vom romanischen Bruchsteinbau über die spätgotische Hallenkirche bis zum heutigen, multifunktionalen Kirchenraum mit einem interdisziplinären Ansatz aufgearbeitet. Die alte Körrenziger Kirche gehört zu den bestuntersuchten ländlichen Sakralbauten im Rheinland. In einem beispielhaften Pilotprojekt werden die vorhandenen Schriftquellen mit kunstgeschichtlichen, bauhistorischen, archäologischen und naturwissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen verknüpft. Eingesetzt werden auch moderne Untersuchungsmethoden wie das Georadar und 3D-Laserscan.

La période post-carolingienne a donné lieu ces dernières décennies à des approches très différentes des deux côtés du Rhin : cette période, longtemps très étudiée en Allemagne selon une approche institutionnelle, y a été globalement délaissée ces dernières décennies. À l’inverse, les chercheurs francophones ont réinvesti récemment le moment grégorien, désormais interprété comme une « révolution totale », pour reprendre l’expression de F. Mazel, alors que la césure grégorienne est au contraire très peu soulignée dans les travaux portant sur l’espace germanique.
L’objectif de cet atelier est de faire se rencontrer de jeunes chercheurs issus de champs disciplinaires très différents, de l’histoire religieuse à la diplomatique, en passant par l’histoire de l’art et l’histoire politique, l'archéologie et l’histoire du droit. Cette approche permettra un décloisonnement entre les disciplines concernées, et constituera surtout une opportunité de dialogue entre jeunes chercheurs francophones et germanophones, afin de mieux comprendre si ces approches différentes s’expliquent par la diversité des sources conservées des deux côtés du Rhin ou si elles relèvent avant tout de traditions historiographiques divergentes.

Jomala church is a rural church dating to the thirteenth century. It is the only church in Finland representing the Romanesque period. An archaeological excavation of the medieval nave and the choir was carried out in 1961. It yielded a total of 594 coins of which at least 134 are medieval. The impact of the Lutheran Reformation on church doctrine and practice, and the effects on liturgy and the church interior in relation to the use of money, form the central questions of the chapter. After the Lutheran Reformation in 1527, individual communion through the mediation of the saints was gradually superseded by the celebration of the Eucharist. However, it is evident that coin offerings around the altar dedicated to the Virgin Mary continued in Jomala after the Reformation. A second issue that is addressed in the study is the continuation of offerings into the Early Modern period. The post-Reformation offering practices described in Finnish written sources reflect the Catholic faith in the miracle of transsubstantio, when the entire substance of the bread and wine are changed into the substance of the body and blood of Christ. This was seen as the most sacred moment during the divine service, and also the most suitable moment to give coin offerings. A post-Reformation coin offering put on the altar cloth during the Eucharist can be described as a kind of a ceremonial payment. This habit lasted at least until the period of the Great Wrath in Finland. It has been emphasised that 'altar cloth offerings' clearly continued after the period of the Great Wrath (1713-1721) in Jomala.

Warburton lies in an ancient landscape, on the border of East Cheshire and Trafford, Greater Manchester, in North West England. Today it is best known for the busy tollbridge that crosses the now dry river bed of the Mersey, and its two parish churches. Warburton hides a rich landscape history with origins in the late prehistoric and Roman periods. This book brings together 19 years of archaeological and historical investigation in Warburton through the Warburton Archaeological Survey project. There are separate chapters on the development of the landscape and village, the archaeology and history of the old church (one of only 29 medieval timber churches and chapels in England and Wales), the buildings of the area, and a study of the people of the parish from 1600 to 1900 using the manorial and probate documents. Together this
information provides a detailed record of a rural community on the edge of the great industrial and social changes of the post-medieval period.

In the spring of 2009, a project took place to conserve a series of medieval wall paintings in the church of St Mary the Virgin, Lakenheath. In addition to the process of physical conservation, this Heritage Lottery-funded project allowed the examination of the documentary and building history of the church. The aim was to examine the wall paintings as more than simple examples of medieval art and to place them within the wider context of the parish’s history.¹ The results were both surprising and more far-reaching than anyone had first anticipated.
