▼ This thesis examines how the worldâ s first female dramatist, the tenth-century canoness Hrotsvit of Gandersheim, challenged pedagogical interpretations of gender in her imitations of Roman literature. The dissertation finds that while Hrotsvit imitated the content and form of Ovid, Terence, and Virgil, she denaturalized the binary conceptions of gender promulgated in their works by inverting the specific markers of gender identified in pedagogical texts associated with them and by linking those behavioural markers to imbalances of social power rather than to biology. Studies of the sex/gender system in the
early medieval period have tended to focus on medical discourses which attribute gendered behaviour to biology. My doctoral research uses untapped primary sources to prove that gender was not invariably thought to be tied to biology in the medieval cultural imaginary. The commentaries, glosses, and other pedagogical texts on classical literature used in medieval classrooms presented readers with a concrete set of ideas about gender, including highly specific linguistic and behavioural expectations. While scholars have increasingly begun to analyze commentaries on classical literature for insights into medieval gender norms, the majority of this work has focused on the dissemination of ideas about masculinity in male homosocial schools during the twelfth century and beyond. My research contributes to this conversation by asking how
early medieval female readers responded to the educational discourses on gender which they encountered in the female-led classrooms of women's religious institutions. The thesis is also innovative in its proposal that Hrotsvitâ s book of saintsâ legends was written in imitation of Ovid. Overall, the dissertation revises current understandings of the sex/gender system in the Ottonian period, demonstrating that ideas which resemble the social construction of gender were circulating centuries earlier than previously thought.

▼ The aim of the study was to understand what distribution patterns tell us about Carolingian historical and economic processes in the Netherlands, and how this pattern was affected by post-depositional processes. This was done by investigating coins in relation to geographic layers and changes of distribution patterns through time were studied using 50-year time slices from 750 AD to 950 AD. Coins are mostly found along the coast and near major rivers in the centre of the Netherlands, with hot spots at known Carolingian trade settlements such as Dorestad, Domburg and settlements at the mouths of the Rhine and Meuse rivers. Other hotspots are found at Nijmegen, which was the site of a Carolingian palatium, and the northwest coast of the province of Friesland. While clay rich features of marine and fluviatile deposits favour the preservation of coins, it is likely that coins were mainly circulating in the vicinity of navigable waters. Frisian merchants were renowned in the Carolingian empire and beyond for their prominence in international trade and their core area coincides seamlessly with the coin distribution pattern. Coin circulation appeared to be at its peak during the reign of Charlemagne and Louis the Pious. Circulation then again diminished following political instabilities, Viking invasions and the gradual silting of the river Rhine after the death that were later to become trade centres of importance in the later
Middle Ages after Dorestad went defunct in the 850s AD. Coins are infrequently found in many parts of the Netherlands. Large parts of the Netherlands were deemed inhospitable during the Carolingian era due to vast areas of peat bogs that were drained in the late
Middle Ages and the modern era. The south and east of the country is characterized by deposits of cover sands was also found to be sparse in Carolingian coins. That the southern provinces of Noord-Brabant and Limburg were so thinly endowed with coins was a surprise, as these areas are known to have been close to the Carolingian heartland. The poor preservation qualities of metal objects in sand is only part of the answer why this is the case. The river Meuse and the southern provinces were found to have been of little interest to Frisian traders, who conceivably preferred the relatively neutral extremities of the Empire that were conductive to international trade. Perhaps coins in the Netherlands were principally a medium used by merchants in long distance trade, and not as readily used in local and regional trade along rural settlements.

▼ This dissertation, ‘Perjury and False Witness in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages’, investigates changing perceptions of perjury and false witness in the late antique and early medieval world. Focusing on primary sources from the Latin-speaking, western Roman empire and former empire, approximately between the late third and seventh centuries CE, this thesis proposes that perjury and false witness were transformed into criminal behaviours, grave sins, and canonical offences in Latin legal and religious writings of the period.
Chapter 1, ‘Introduction: The Problem of Perjury’s Criminalization’, calls attention to anomalies in the history and historiography of the oath. Although the oath has been well studied, oath violations have not; moreover, important sources for medieval culture – Roman law and the Christian New Testament – were largely silent on the subject of perjury. For classicists in particular, perjury was not a crime, while oath violations remained largely peripheral to early Christian ethical discussions.
Chapter 2, ‘Criminalization: Perjury and False Witness in Late Roman Law’, begins to explain how this situation changed by documenting early possible instances of penalization for perjury. Diverse sources such as Christian martyr acts, provincial law manuals, and select imperial and post-imperial legislation suggest that numerous cases of perjury were criminalized in practice. Chapter 3, ‘Peccatization: Perjury and False Witness in Latin Patristic Literature’, investigates analogous developments in the Latin Christian church. Chapter 4, ‘An Early Medieval Case Study: Perjury and False Witness in the Visigothic Church and Kingdom’, studies the effects of these developments on one early medieval society.
A concluding chapter suggests a class-based dimension to these changes; interrogates the nature of perjury; and proposes further avenues for research. Conceived as a thesis in the history of law and religion, this dissertation doubles as an investigation of a prominent feature of late antique and early medieval culture.

▼ This thesis is a study of the religious culture of the market-town parish of Wimborne Minster, Dorset, from c.1403-1640. Broadly, it is a contribution to the history of the English Reformation (or Reformations, as the historian pleases; capital 'R' or lower-case). Religious change is the most significant focus, but over a longer period of time than is usually allowed for. Such themes as lay control, tithe controversies, relations with the ordinary, and popular support for preaching and church music are considered, as well as theological issues about the nature of English and European Protestantism. The thesis includes quantitative evidence drawn from the parish churchwardens' accounts and also wills. The date range was chosen for a number of reasons. First, because the available evidence for the parish is unusually rich, and allows for a kind of sustained attention that cannot be directed towards other such parishes: Wimborne has among the earliest and most complete surviving churchwardens' accounts in England (beginning in 1403), as well as myriad other sources, including hundreds of wills, and corporation and church-court records. Secondly, as a means of pursuing Alexandra Walsham's 'migrations of the holy' agenda. Walsham believes that investigation of religious change in the late medieval and early modern periods is hindered by those very periodisations, which are in fact products of the changes in question; how, then, to study religious change without presupposing too much? To that end, the structure of this thesis is both chronological and thematic; and an attempt has been made to preserve what was unique and so important about the changes of the mid-sixteenth century, during the reigns of Henry VIII and his progeny, at the same time as revealing deeper structural changes - and continuities too. The broad division of the thesis is into two parts. This first three chapters, part one, establish the early religious scene in the parish, examining the legacy of the Minster's place as a mother church in the Anglo-Saxon landscape of east Dorset, and how parish identity and forms of self-organisation were put to the test during the reigns of Henry VIII and his son, Edward VI. In part two, the focus is the interaction between the parishioners and the parish's new governing structure, a closed corporation of 12 lay worthies; in particular, the governors' attempts to provide regular preaching of the most sophisticated kind, as well as elaborate polyphonic music, and disputes arising from their management of the tithes and the divisive behaviour of one preacher in particular.

▼ The aim of this dissertation is to re-evaluate the role of warfare and the military from the establishment of the Lombards in Italy to the end of King Rothari’s reign (c. 569–652). A thorough reassessment of the source material suggests that the Lombard kingdom was a breakaway section of the Byzantine army in northern Italy, which, seceding from the Empire, produced an independent government in Italy. Chapter one analyzes the evidence connecting the advent of the Lombards in Italy with a military rebellion, and produces a picture of the social context of the army in the 560s, highlighting the reasons behind the rebellion and the connections between mutiny and barbarian gentes. Chapter two tackles the trajectories of the Lombard policy after the rebellion, the role of Kings Alboin and Cleph, and the collapse of the Lombard monarchy (c. 574—84). Chapter three analyzes the role of the Franks in the re-establishment of the Lombard monarchy, and the importance of northern Italy for Frankish Alpine policy. The fourth chapter covers the period from Agilulf to Rothari examining the political and military achievements of Agilulf and Rothari, and evaluating the changes in the performance of the army, to suggest that the social conditions behind the support of the army had changed from the
early to the mid seventh century. The social aspects of the army in the seventh century are discussed in chapter five, which looks at Italian society under Lombard rule, analyzing the evolution of economy and social organization, and the impact of the military on society. Finally, chapter six uses the data on the performance of the army and on the social structure presented in the previous chapters, to provide an analysis of the mechanisms of recruitment and the impact of military policy and changes on Italian society under the Lombards.

▼ Scholars have long believed that cities in the Western Roman Empire declined during the Early Middle Ages (A.D. 300-900). Their populations dwindled, their infrastructure decayed, and their importance decreased dramatically. Cities remained unimportant until the eleventh century, when a commercial revolution began which led to an economic recovery. But more recent research has shown that this view is overstated. In this work, I seek to examine the fate of Cologne during the Early Middle Ages, using literary, archeological, numismatic, and epigraphic sources. This evidence shows that Cologne, contrary to older views, was actually a thriving city during this period: Its population was stable and its economy prospered. Cologne's state during the Early Middle Ages suggests that we should not be so quick to assume that all early medieval cities had declined.

▼ The earliest
Middle Ages are known as the Merovingian period and start around 450 AD and last until 720 AD. This period is often described as “Dark Ages” because of the contrast with the Roman period. This distinction is colored but nevertheless is it true that the Netherlands were more scarcely habited in this period. The Dutch landscape and its influence on the quality of habitation are important factors. Merovingian people were aware of the landscape and tried to adjust their habitation to the landscape. This resulted in a distribution of settlements in areas were habitation was most favorable and easy. Another important factor in this period for them was trade, this is something they had in common with their predecessors. They maintained large networks of trade and exchange and were able to explore the world. This is important for the origin, production, distribution and traditions within luxury goods such as metal and glass objects. The
Early Middle Ages are an underexplored period. This goes especially for the many find categories found in Merovingian cemeteries such as the glass vessels.
Glass vessels are magnificent products of
early medieval crafts. It needs a lot of skill to make them and raw materials came from afar. It is strange that they have not been the
subject of intensive research yet, although new research is started in the countries surrounding the Netherlands. Research in the Netherlands lags behind. There are no typologies or studies for the complete glass vessel dataset for the Merovingian period. For this thesis it was chosen to limit the study to the finds known from cemeteries. Two topics are addressed: the role of glass vessels in the Merovingian burial ritual and what the distribution of glass vessels in Merovingian graves do tell us about exchange mechanisms in the Merovingian period. This second topic is a pilot to see if any interesting information and new research topic were to be found. This topic was limited due to the amount of time available for this master thesis.
Many new insights were found in this thesis regarding the typological distribution of glass vessels; type, color and decorations. One of the most important results is the distinction between glasses from the Rhine and Maas valley. They seem to represent a difference in production for the Rhineland and eastern Belgium/northern France. This is important because this shows us the origin of glasses and is a start for the research on trade and exchange for the whole Merovingian period. This thesis shows that further research is important, interesting and will probably provide new insights for the whole Merovingian period. Therefore a list of suggestions for further research is added to provide some ideas.

▼ Als het gaat om de vraag hoe in de periode voorafgaand aan de Kruistochten middeleeuwse auteurs relatief recente interculturele conflicten beschreven, dan kunnen we op grond van de historiografie naar aanleiding van de Slag op het Lechfeld (955) allereerst concluderen dat de relevante werken van de auteurs Thietmar van Merseburg, Adalbert van Magdeburg en Widukind van Corvey zonder uitzondering voldoen aan de algemene karakteristieken die geldig zijn voor de overweldigende meerderheid van middeleeuwse geschiedschrijving, die op haar beurt weer vele traditionele elementen van de klassieke en bijbelse voorbeelden had overgenomen. De historiografie is gericht op het bevestigen van continuïteit.
Als geestelijken vertegenwoordigen zij allen dezelfde – in hun ogen universele en tijdloze - waarden en wijzen zij op de goddelijke hand in de geschiedenis. Geen van hen ziet bezwaar in het (onder voorwaarden) uitoefenen van oorlogsgeweld door christenen en sluiten zo impliciet aan bij de vigerende theologie, ontleend aan Hrabanus Maurus’ interpretatie van de Makkabeeën. Evenmin is de structurele nauwe verwevenheid tussen kerk en hof problematisch in hun ogen.
Wat het interculturele aspect betreft wordt de eigen zijde kritiekloos gepresenteerd. Het morele gelijk blijft onveranderlijk aan de eigen zijde, die gepresenteerd wordt als een harmonieus geheel van relaties tussen kerkelijke en wereldlijke, vroom-christelijke elite.
Daarentegen doen zij geen van drieën serieuze pogingen om vertegenwoordigers van andere hoofdculturen neutraal te portretteren. De Hongaren worden door alle drie negatief afgeschilderd, hoewel dat in de gekozen teksten niet extreem gebeurt, bijvoorbeeld in termen als ‘gesel Gods’ of ‘demonisch’. Evenmin is er enige aandacht voor mogelijke kerstening van de Hongaren, die in Thietmars geval al decennia gaande was. De invallende nomaden krijgen zo in feite geen andere - wellicht zelfs een meer brute - behandeling dan vijandelijke buurvolken zoals de Slaven. Er wordt tevreden geconstateerd dat na een moeilijke strijd de Hongaren gedecimeerd werden en hun leiders geëxecuteerd zijn. Deze onbarmhartige constatering is een aspect dat interculturele oorlogvoering – en de geschiedschijving daarover, in vele historische perioden - typeert. Grote culturele verschillen, zoals aangetoond in deze studie, vormen bij uitstek een aanleiding voor extreem geweld zonder compromisbereidheid of neutraliteit, zelfs niet na een ultieme victorie.
De bereidheid tot vergeving, compromissen en een herstel van relaties is daarentegen duidelijk aanwezig bij vele ‘interne’ conflicten – ofwel intraculturele conflicten, ook of misschien wel juist na verpletterende overwinningen.
De oorzaak voor dit opvallende kenmerk van interculturele conflicten moet gezocht worden in de extreme verschillen in alle culturele aspecten, zoals die verkend worden in deze thesis. De verschillen brachten tussen Magyaren en Oostfranken voortdurend wederzijds onbegrip voort. Met woorden presenteren dergelijke opponenten de vijand als woeste half-mensen die…

▼ Pathologische Veränderungen des stomatognathen Systems haben die Menschheit seit jeher geplagt. Etliche dieser dentalen Pathologien hinterlassen Spuren, die auch an Skelettmaterial noch erkannt werden können. Die vorliegende Studie beschäftigt sich mit der Aufnahme dentaler Pathologien an Skelettmaterial eines frühmittelalterlichen Gräberfelds aus dem Bösfeld in Mannheim. Hierbei werden die Individuen in Hinblick auf AMTL, PMTL, Karies, marginale Parodontopathien, periapikale Läsionen, Zahnabnutzung, Zahnstein und Hypoplasien untersucht. In Folge werden die Häufigkeit der Pathologien innerhalb verschiedener Untergruppen der Bösfelder Population und zwischen anderen zeitgleichen und rezenten Populationen verglichen.rnrnBei der Prävalenz von AMTL und Karies ist ein signifikanter Anstieg mit dem Alter der Individuen zu beobachten, während sich kein Unterschied zwischen den Geschlechtern ergibt. Marginale Parodontopathien sind signifikant weniger bei frühadulten Individuen zu finden als bei der Gruppe der über 30 Jährigen. In der Gesamtpopulation ergeben sich keine Unterschiede zwischen den Geschlechtern. Altersabhängig betrachtet sind jedoch die über 40-jährigen Männer signifikant häufiger von marginalen Parodontopathien betroffen, während bei der Altersgruppe der Frühadulten die weiblichen Individuen häufiger betroffen sind. Unabhängig von Geschlecht und Alter kann bei den marginalen Parodontopathien ein Zusammenhang zwischen den alveolaren Entzündungsreaktionen und dem Abstand zwischen Schmelz-Zement Grenze und Limbus alveolaris festgestellt werden. Die männlichen Individuen des Bösfelds sind signifikant häufiger von periapikalen Läsionen betroffen. Bei dem Zahnverschleiß wird ein solcher Unterschied zwischen den Geschlechtern nicht festgestellt. Lediglich eine Zunahme des Verschleißes mit dem Alter liegt vor. Auch der Zahnsteinbefall steigt mit dem Alter an. Ein Unterschied bei dem Zahnsteinvorkommen zwischen den Geschlechtern ist nicht zu finden. Nur die frühmaturen Männer zeigen im Vergleich zu den Frauen einen signifikant geringeren Befall. Diese höhere Zahnsteinablagerung bei den frühmaturen Frauen kann mit deren Eintritt in das Klimakterium erklärt werden. Die Hypoplasien des Enamels lassen ein durchschnittliches Entstehungsalter von 3 bis 4 Jahren erkennen. Dieses kann mit dem, im Frühmittelalter sehr späten, Abstillalter in Verbindung gebracht werden. Die an der Bösfelder Serie beobachteten Häufigkeiten der Patholgien sind zu einem großen Teil vergleichbar mit anderen zeitgleichen Skelettserien. rnrnDie vorliegende Studie gibt einen Einblick in die Epidemiologie dentaler Pathologien im Frühmittelalter, kann Rückschlüsse ziehen auf damalige Lebensumstände und kann Unterschiede zwischen damaliger und heutiger Prävalenz verschiedener Erkrankungen darstellen. Zukünftige Studien an der Bösfelder Skelettserie können mit einem Fokus auf die archäologische Auswertung der Grabbeigaben weitere Erkenntnisse liefern und so das Verständnis dieser merowingerzeitlichen Population vertiefen. rn

▼ Cette thèse porte sur la signification du paon et du phénix dans des contextes cultuels et funéraires, autour du Bassin méditerranéen entre le IVe et le XIIe siècle. L’étude est basée sur un corpus de 490 documents dans lesquels apparaissent un ou plusieurs paons, mis en parallèle avec 68 témoignages figurés du phénix. Ces oiseaux ont été mis en image de différentes manières et selon différents contextes, aussi bien sur des pièces de monnaie, des fresques catacombales, des sarcophages, des décors mosaïqués (pavements, coupoles, absides, …), des manuscrits ou bien encore sur des clôtures de chœur. L’observation des documents révèle que des liens ont été tissés entre les deux oiseaux associés tous deux à l’idée de renaissance bien avant le IVe siècle. En effet, la notion de renaissance est transversale dans l’étude de la figuration du paon et du phénix entre Antiquité et Moyen Âge, et entre paganisme et christianisme. Les premières références à ces deux oiseaux, connues dans les textes et l’iconographie antiques, ont été analysées afin de réfléchir sur l’imaginaire construit autour du paon et du phénix, liés aux rythmes cycliques, à la mort et à la résurrection. La fonction du paon comme psychopompe et plus largement comme intermédiaire entre terre et ciel et entre l’humain et le divin, s’affirme progressivement. Entre le IIIe et le IVe siècle, le paon et le phénix entrent dans le répertoire visuel funéraire des premiers chrétiens et commencent à être mis en relation avec la conception du baptême comme une renaissance. Entre le IVe et le VIe siècle, ils sont introduits dans l’espace ecclésial et resserrent leurs liens avec le Christ et le baptisé. Les deux oiseaux offrent au fidèle un espoir de salut en témoignant du triomphe du Christ sur la mort et en annonçant la résurrection des Élus. Entre le VIIe et le IXe siècle, la figuration du paon est notamment étudiée sur des clôtures de chœur et d’autres éléments de décors sculptés, en lien avec le rituel eucharistique, avec l’idée de passage entre charnel et spirituel. Le corpus réuni met en évidence le rôle du paon comme gardien du seuil, d’un point de vue matériel et spirituel. La présence récurrente du paon et du phénix entre le VIe et le IXe siècle dans des espaces ecclésiaux romains est également mise en perspective vis-à-vis des réalisations papales et selon des enjeux liés à la mémoire des saints et de l’Église. L’étude s’ouvre au XIIe siècle avec le décor monumental de Saint-Clément à Rome comme un témoignage charnière dans la signification du paon.
This dissertation deals with the meaning of the peacock and the phoenix within contexts of worship and funerary contexts in the Mediterranean area, between the IVth and the XIIth centuries. The study is based on an iconographic documentation meeting 490 items of the peacock and 68 items of the phoenix. These birds were imaged in various ways as well as coins, paintings of catacombs, sarcophagi, mosaics (pavements, domes, apses, …), manuscripts, and even chancel screens.

▼ Историја - национална историја средњег века и
историјска географија / History - national medieval history and
historical geography
На издвајање „Земље Моравице“ као посебне целине
утицала су два чиниоца: први, постојање на том простору удеоне
кнежевине Немањиног старијег брата Страцимира, и, посебно, оснивање
Моравичке епископије, под чијом јурисдикцијом се налазило ово
подручје. Земље Моравице обухватале су знатно пространство у
југозападном делу Србије. На представљеној природно-географској
позорници, догађаји су приказани у хронолошком низу. Промена начина
живота у касној антици и раној византији, манифестује се изградњом
великог броја утврђења. До сада је захваљујући археолошким
истраживањем и рекогносцирањем терена констатовано 17
рановизантијских утврђења. За два утврђења код Косјерића, Злоступ и
Парамун, у литератури третирана као средњевековна, утврђено је да
припадају рановизантијској епохи. Моравице су доспеле под турску
власт до 1458. године када су уписане међу турским
територијално-управним јединицама као „вилајет. Након турских
освајања земље Моравице су се нашле у оквиру Смедеревског санџака,
подељене на више нахија и кадилука, док је јужним делом, област
улазила у Босански санџак. У складу са постављеном структуром рада
циљ је био да се јасно дефинишу границе земље Моравице, њене
евентуалне жупе, а касније и нахије. Основна подела привреде је на
градску привреду, сеоску привреду и рударство. Сеоске занатлије су
своју делатност темељиле на сопственим сировинама биљног и
животињског порекла и у највећем броју случајева задовољавали су
сопствене потребе. О постојању занатлија сазнајемо у анализираним
пописима, када је поред имена појединог домаћина уписано и
занимање. У Смедеревском санџаку, самим тим и у Моравицама, као
обрачунска мера за житарице користило се лукно, које је садржало 4
или 6 једренских мерица (92,36 кг или 138,54 кг), да би се његова
величина повећала на 7 или 8 истанбулских мерица (179,592 кг или
205,248 кг), тек након 1536. године....

▼ Археологија - Археологија раног средњег века /
Archaeology - Early Mediaeval Archaeology
Циљ докторске дисертације био је да обједини и
(ре)интерпретира сва доступна сазнања о налазиштима и налазима из
времена превласти Авара (567-810) на југу Панонске низије, у
данашњој АП Војводини и мањим делом у Српској Посавини и Подунављу.
У првој таквој синтези у овој грани раносредњовековне археологије
код нас, забележено је преко 220 налазишта, у великој већини према
подацима из стручне литературе, а мањим делом и на основу увида
кандидата у необјављену грађу. Локалитети се представљају на
уједначен начин, без обзира да ли са неког налазишта потиче покоји
случајан налаз, или пак некропола од неколи ко стотина гробова. За
сваки локалитет биће посебно коментарисан географски положај,
историјат истраживања и објављени археолошки налази, након чега ће,
опет у свим случајевима, уследити анализа, тј. (ре)интрепретација
података. Главни истраживачки приступи у анализи грађе тичу се
разматрања географске и геомор фолошке одрживости налазишта и
њиховог просторног размештаја, као и темељне провере датовања
нађених предмета материјалне културе. Док први приступ омогућава
доношење далекосежнијих закључака о седелачком начину живота Авара
на овом простору, насупрот увреженој предоџби о номадском карактеру
те популације, на основу другог приступа, који почива на коришћењу
поуздане, савремене аваролошке литературе, поједина налазишта
добијају јасније место у два и по века дугој повести Аварског
каганата. Датовање ансамбала налаза у појединим затвореним
целинама, пре свега гробовима на бројним некрополама, пут је ка
разумевању њихове хоризонталне стратиграфије. Укрштени резултати
овде укратко описаних истраживачких приступа воде скицирању начина
на који су Авари користили своје јужне поседе како у ранијем, тако
и у познијем периоду своје превласти. Уз дужан опрез, дискутује се
и о могућем етничком приписивању појединих налаза и налазишта, док
се на основу индикативних археолошки х налаза дискутује и о
привредним активностима на југу аварске државе. Овом приликом се по
први пут даје критички преглед претходних радова на пољу
археологије Авара у Србији, уз разлучивање њених развојних фаза
које се нижу од краја 19. века до наши х дана, као и пресек
тренутног стања у истраживањима и могућности које стоје пред
нама.

▼ The present thesis seeks to develop a better understanding of Christian monasticism from the 4th to the 8th century. It has been focused on the western Mediterranean mainly but always considering the main information sources of the eastern Mediterranean and the Atlantic. A thorough analysis of the pottery that circulated in the Balearic Islands during the 5th, 6th and 7th centuries has been carried out too. The production origin, the dating and the pottery geographical distribution have been determined when it has been possible. In some cases, the contents of amphorae or other jars used to transport goods have been identified successfully. Ultimately, a detailed review of the diffusion of each pottery types identified at Cabrera Archipelago has been performed with the aim of determining the relationship that the monks established with other geographic areas.
The analysis of the Cabrera Archipelago findings has highlighted a gap in the Balearic Islands history and Western in general, which is the diffusion of the Christian monasticism. The comparison of the findings discovered in other monastic islands and the written information of the first eight hundred years of Christianity have provided the basis for understanding the organization of the Cabrera monastic community. This research, where the study of the movable archaeological items has been decisive, especially the pottery, has allowed to place in the fifth century the time when the Cabrera monks settled in. The community had a coenobium and several hermitages between the 5th and 7th centuries and it has been possible to describe some of the elements which defined them, like the resources and activities that the monks performed. Facilities for salting, production of purple and wine have been found. The possible farming areas have been identified and also the main water source for the supply. Cabrera can be considered as a “holy island”, an expression used in contemporary texts to describe other islands which were occupied exclusively by the monk communities and their occasional servants.
The Cabrera monastery is placed in a context of establishments in the western Mediterranean, in mainland and in islets, beginning in the second half of the 4th century and that reached its climax in the 6th and 7th centuries. These monasteries conditioned the production methods and the local and regional exchanges of the places where they settled down.
The analysis of the pottery of the 5th to the 7th centuries and other material found in the monastic islets show that the monks not only were surviving, they also had many imported goods; some of them were luxury items. “The islets monks” were part of a new exchange network where local markets were interwoven with long-distance trade. The goods produced, accumulated, transported and consumed by the men of the monasteries were moved using a well organized network. The monks retired in the islands were, in many aspects, the main protagonists of this network. And an essential matter has been the characterization of the…

▼ This dissertation intervenes in a
long-standing paradigm that women were largely passive subjects in
early medieval society. This passivity has been especially
attributed to the strict limitations on women’s intellectual and
religious authority, and to the resultant silence of Anglo-Saxon
and Carolingian women in the extant sources. Numerous scholars such
as Valerie Garver, Cristina La Rocca, Régine Le Jan, Rosamond
McKitterick, Janet Nelson, and Julia Smith have undertaken dynamic
studies to probe this assumption about
early medieval women’s
imposed silence and passivity, finding innovative ways to reveal
women’s unique contributions to
early medieval society and
spirituality which had been previously overlooked or misjudged. It
is within this groundbreaking tradition of scholarship that this
dissertation is situated. This dissertation
investigates the heretofore neglected corpus of
early medieval
women’s Latin letters, focusing on two primary features. First, by
examining the extant letters written by both men and women, it
reveals that elite Carolingian and Anglo-Saxon women were utilizing
written correspondence on a scale which has been underestimated by
modern scholars. It therefore draws attention to and describes
elite women’s pervasive and even mundane engagement with epistolary
communication, thereby offering a valuable counterpoint to the
normative sources from the period which appear to limit women’s
agency. Secondly, it offers reveals the letters
to and from women as decisive evidence of elite women’s agency and
involvement in politics, culture, economy, and spiritual life in
the eighth and ninth centuries. Following an introduction which
describes the extant letter collections, and a second chapter in
which I contextualize women’s letters and letter-writing within the
larger corpus of male epistolary activity, I focus on three
prominent themes which occur in letters to and from women:
petition, gift-exchange, and land and spiritual administration. By
unfolding the epistemological significance of these topics and
examining individual letters in light of contemporary social,
political, economic, and religious conditions of Anglo-Saxon
England and Carolingian Europe, I highlight how women were not only
engaging with their world, but how these engagements are actually
documented through the ephemera of letters.

▼ This study examines the documentary and literary culture associated with the court of the Lombard Duchy and Principality of Benevento during the eighth and ninth centuries. More specifically, through the careful analysis of different genres of text associated with the court network, including epigraphy, legislation, precepts, charters, notices of judgment, and hagiography, this dissertation will argue that historical memory was mobilized at the Beneventan court as an important way for individuals and families to express and authenticate ideas of authority, whether it was to validate property claims, to legitimate a right to rule, or to justify a place within the hierarchy of Beneventan society. In order to anchor oneâ s claim to authority in the present and guarantee it in the future, the written word was fundamental, not only in facilitating authors and their patrons in recalling the memories of ancestors, rulers, holy men, historical events, and customary practices, but also in reconstructing and reinterpreting the past to suit present concerns. Interestingly, the Beneventan court community did not simply evoke its historical ties to or ethnic affiliation with the Lombard Kingdom in the north. Its sense of the past was much more fluid, evolving to adapt to changing political circumstances, new ideologies, and social transformations. Beneventoâ s unique location on the frontier in southern Italy and the development of a lay literary culture amongst the court elite meant that while the history of the Lombard Kingdom remained important, Beneventans were deeply influenced by other histories, including their own, as well as those of the Byzantine Empire, the Franks, the saints and holy figures of Christianity, and even the classical Roman past. Each of these histories could be evoked depending on the context of the claims being made. The flexibility and hybridity of Beneventan historical memory, however, was tempered by chronic warfare and the regionâ s political instability, which encouraged a more conservative and localist outlook amongst the court elite. Beneventan authors, therefore, navigated a complex course between appropriating the historical memory of the Lombard Kingdom and neighbouring communities and championing a more local past based on their own traditions.

▼ Do kontraty mazowieckiej prowincji polskiej zakonu dominikanów w średniowieczu i wczesnej epoce nowożytnej należały klasztory w Płocku (św. Dominika i św. Trójcy), Warce (św. Stanisława), Sochaczewie (św. Mikołaja) i Łowiczu (św. Trójcy). Dysertacja stanowi opracowanie kluczowych aspektów działalności dziejów tych wspólnot w okresie od ich powstania (najstarsza fundacja konwentu św. Dominika miała miejsce ok. 1236 r. zaś najpóźniejsze z nich na początku XV wieku w Łowiczu i Płocku św. Trójcy) aż do 1600 roku, kiedy to powstanie klasztoru św. Jacka w Warszawie zmieniło średniowieczny układ zależności pomiędzy siedzibami dominikanów na Mazowszu. W kolejnych rozdziałach omówione zostały procesy fundacyjne poszczególnych domów, materialne podstawy ich działalności na przestrzeni wieków, wewnętrzna organizacja i skład osobowy konwentów oraz ich miejsce w kontracie i prowincji zakonu, a także rola jaką odgrywały w życiu społecznym, religijnym i gospodarczym Mazowsza. Przeprowadzona analiza zachowanych materiałów źródłowych wykazała, że omawiane klasztory na tle prowincji należały do mniejszych lub średnich. Dysponowały one stosunkowo skromnymi środkami materialnymi, które zwykle pozwalały jednak na utrzymanie zamieszkujących je wspólnot. Wobec niewielkiej konkurencji ze strony innych zakonów, w omawianym okresie dominikanie zdołali zdominować krajobraz monastyczny Mazowsza.

▼ This dissertation examines the interrelation between concepts of masculinity among the laity and the clergy in the Merovingian era of Gaul, fifth to seventh centuries. In doing so, the work aims to fill a gap in current scholarship by examining the relationship between religious men and lay men, rather than as separate groups, which has often been the trend to date. The focus is on specific sites of difference where masculine ideals came into conflict. Beginning with a brief examination of the transmission of classical neo-platonic ideals into the culture of the ecclesiastical aristocracy of the fifth century, I will provide a background for the religious masculinity against which the lay examples are framed. The study then moves on to the contrasting ideals surrounding hair, using a methodological framework of contrasting masculinities to demonstrate that the long hair of the Franks and the tonsuring of the clergy both reflected antithetical representations of each others’ masculinities. Chapter four examines the relationship between feasting and fasting culture among the laity and the clergy, as the participation in, and rejection of imbibing served to distinguish both groups of men through contrasting ideals. The following chapter examines the role that sexual conduct played in notions of honour particularly in the laity. The final chapter examines the different concepts of fatherhood and the importance of male children in maintaining a masculine role. The concluding chapter then offers some considerations on how the balance between masculinities was altered during the Carolingian Renaissance.

▼ Contemporary archaeological research often works under the assumption that towns in the
Early Middle Ages were static features in the landscape. However, recent studies show that
early medieval town development was much more diverse and spatially mobile than previously thought.
In this thesis, I aimed to distinguish different types of town development, and endeavoured to find out what events and characteristics may contribute to a town’s spatial development. I did this by researching eight towns and looking at characteristics which I believed would shed light on the question why some towns appear to display more mobility than others during their development in the
Early Middle Ages. This included looking at the presence of ecclesiastical structures, trade, and profane power, as well as natural features in the landscape. I found that out of the eight towns that I researched, five displayed signs of spatial mobility, two seemed to remain static in the landscape, and one displayed a third, previously unconsidered option; the presence of multiple, independently functioning settlement cores that were present within a Roman fortification structure in the same time period. This motivated me to name these three development types mobile towns, static towns and polyfocal towns respectively. Furthermore, I concluded that while it is possible to distinguish different types of town development in the
Early Middle Ages when looking at it in a broad sense, it is not possible to distinguish between the different types when looking at one specific characteristic. All towns were alike in the sense that they were all located along major waterways and had a Roman predecessor. I also found that ecclesiastical presence does not always necessarily coincide with civil habitation. This counters the commonly accepted assumption that churches and other religious structures functioned as ‘anchors’ in the landscape, around which habitation was always present.
For further research I suggest that the control group be expanded to include more
early medieval towns. Furthermore, I believe it would be beneficial to include a larger variety of towns, for example, towns that are not located along major waterways and towns that did not have a Roman predecessor. I am confident that if the scale of the research is widened, it is possible to come to a clearer conclusion concerning the spatial movement of
early medieval towns.

▼ This dissertation presents a re-evaluation of the imagery of three ninth-century Psalters – the Corbie Psalter (Amiens, Bibl. Mun., Ms. 18), the Utrecht Psalter (Utrecht, Bibliotheek der Rijksuniversiteit, Ms. 32), and the Stuttgart Psalter (Stuttgart, Wurttembergische Landesbibliothek, Ms. Bibl. Fol. 23). This imagery visualizes the contents of the psalms, a biblical text unique for its extensive use of unspecified first and second person forms. The open referents of the I and you of the psalms made identifying with their voices an area of intense exegetical speculation. Yet the abundant imagery in the much-studied Utrecht and Stuttgart Psalters is often seen as literal illustration, that is, a direct translation of the words of the text into visual form, and left at that. This dissertation posits that in visualizing both the speakers and the contents of the psalms, the illustrators of these manuscripts provided an interpretation of the act of prayer in which the reader participated in complicated ways. In a series of close analyses of select illustrations an effort is made to map the reading process whereby images were brought together within and across pages to provide opportunities for and encourage extended meditations on the nature of God, the self, and the soul. By focusing on the strategies and themes of biblical exegesis, this dissertation calls attention to the interpretive capacities of the images and suggests that their creation be seen as providing a stimulus for the reader's devotional engagement with the text. Chapter 1 presents background on psalms illustration and a review of the scholarly literature. Chapter 2 focuses on the Corbie Psalter, the illustrations of which reveal a deep concern with figuring the ideal reader's encounter with the text of the psalms in the act of prayer. In Chapter 3 attention centers on the visualization of the figurative language of the psalms in the Utrecht Psalter and re-evaluates the role played by these images in the reader's attempt to discover their spiritual meaning. Chapter 4, focused on the Stuttgart Psalter, presents a thematic study of the representation of the act of prayer and examines its relationship to the reader before the text. The illustrations in all three manuscripts are understood to be fundamentally exegetical and to have offered to the reader of the psalms interpretive glosses not just on the text but on the spiritual life itself.

▼ Le site des Ruelles, à Serris (Seine-et-Marne), émerge dans le cadre d’une création d’habitats au VIIe s. Il débute avec l’implantation d’une ferme domaniale et s’achève au début du XIe s. après une résurgence du pôle de pouvoir au Xe s. L’opération archéologique menée sur 16 hectares, s’inscrit dans un terroir largement exploré par l’archéologie ; elle révèle un habitat groupé bipolaire et un grand ensemble funéraire qui s’est développé autour de deux édifices religieux dont l’un est abandonné à la fin du VIIIe s. Avec les petits ensembles funéraires dispersés dans l’habitat, les Ruelles comptent un peu plus d’un millier de sépultures. Ce travail a pour objectif de classer et d’étudier les phénomènes taphonomiques du squelette afin d’identifier les architectures funéraires et de comprendre leur évolution (analyse typochronologique). Concernant cet aspect, la synthèse s’accompagne du catalogue analytique exhaustif des sépultures. Un second volet concerne l’analyse des pratiques funéraires, de manière à mettre en évidence les formes d’organisation sociale qu’elles transcrivent ; cette partie aborde l’analyse du recrutement (sexe et âge au décès) par phases chronologiques, la répartition spatiale des sépultures en fonction des choix architecturaux et du sexe et de l’âge au décès, les formes de regroupements et la gestion matérielle de l’espace, les continuités et les discontinuités spatiales, ainsi que les rapports entretenus par les différentes zones d’inhumation. Sont enfin discutés la genèse des pôles funéraires, les modalités de leur développement, le rôle des deux édifices religieux, le statut des différents groupes dégagés par l’étude des pratiques funéraires, la relation entre les lieux d’habitat et les espaces sépulcraux, et aussi les modalités de gestion et d’organisation des morts dans ce territoire. Ces conclusions s’inscrivent dans les questionnements relatifs à l’organisation et à l’évolution des sociétés rurales du haut Moyen Âge.
The site of Les Ruelles, at Serris (Seine-et-Marne, France), emerges within the framework of a creation of settlements in the 7th century. It begins with the establishment of a domanial farm and is abandoned at the beginning of the 11th century after the revival of the pole of power in the 10th century. The archaeological excavations covering16 hectares, fit in a territory largely explored by archaeology ; it reveals a bipolar agglomerated settlement and a major funerary unit which developed around two religious buildings of which one is destroyed at the end of the 8th century. By taking into account the small funerary units dispersed in the different parts of the “pre-village”, Les Ruelles add up to a little more than one thousand burials. This work aims to classify and study the taphonomic phenomena of the skeleton in order to identify funerary architectures and to understand their evolution (typochronological analyses). Concerning this aspect, the synthesis is accompanied by the exhaustive analytical catalogue of the burials. A second orientation relates to the analysis of…

Musical Notation and Liturgical Books in Late Carolingian Nonantola.

▼ The musical notation of the northern Italian Benedictine abbey of St Sylvester in Nonantola has hitherto been neglected by most scholarship on early music scripts, mainly because of the paucity of surviving music manuscripts and their limited geographical diffusion. A new study was needed in order to develop a full understanding of the abbey’s role and importance in the first phases of development of the writing of music in the early Middle Ages.
A Lombard foundation, Nonantola acquired much of its prestige from the links with the Carolingian court as early as the late eighth century. From the first decades after its foundation, the Po Valley abbey also benefited from an active scriptorium; this shaped a local type of text script that endured until after the fall of the Carolingian empire, when the abbey, including most of its library, was destroyed by the Hungarian invasion in 899 (§1).
The study of the earliest surviving notated liturgical manuscripts revealed that, by the late ninth century, Nonantola already developed an institutional type of musical notation, making it the earliest known music script ever to be written in the Italic peninsula and, thus, among the earliest in Carolingian Europe (§§2–3). The unique design and use of musical signs showed that this northern Italic notation developed, for the most part, independently from a basic repertory of graphs derived from grammatical accents (§4).
Finally, observations of the influences of the central Italic nota romana, which this study only began to explore, opened up the possibility that Nonantolan notation may preserve the oldest traces of graphic conventions for the representation of sound that can be associated with the city of Rome (§5). Placed between the northern and southern fringes of the Carolingian empire, the Benedictine abbey of Nonantola played an important role in the early history of music writing, and this study contributes to the breaking of new ground for further explorations.

▼ This dissertation re-examines trials for heresy in England from 1382, which saw the first major action directed at the Wycliffite heresy in Oxford, and the early Reformation period, with an emphasis on abjurations, the oaths renouncing heretical beliefs that suspects were required to swear after their interrogations were concluded. It draws a direct link between the customs that developed around the ceremony of abjuration and the exceptionally low rate of execution for “relapsed” and “obstinate” heretics in England, compared to other major European anti-heresy campaigns of the period. Several cases are analyzed in which heretics who should have been executed, according to the letter and intention of canon law on the subject, were permitted to abjure, sometimes repeatedly. Cases that ended in execution despite intense efforts by the presiding bishop to obtain a similarly law-bending abjuration are also discussed. These cases are situated within explorations of the constitutions governing heresy trials, contrasting their use of apparently standard legal terminologies with more aggressive continental inquisitors, as well as the theology and cultural standing of oaths within both Wycliffism and the broader Late Medieval and Early Modern world. This dissertation will trace how Lollard heretics gradually accepted the necessity of false abjuration as one of a number of measures to preserve their lives and their movement, and how early adopters using coded writing carefully persuaded their co-religionists of this necessity. Furthermore, it will argue that the bishops who conducted the trial system deliberately constructed it to encourage this type of perjury, even suppressing attempts to alter heretics’ actual convictions, for the sake of social order and stability.

▼ The written was the world of early medieval Iberia. Literacy was limited, but textuality was extensive, in the authority conferred on text and the arrangements made to use it. Roman inheritance is manifest, in documentary and legal culture, engendering literate expectations which define the period; continuity across conquest by Visigoths and Arabs, and the weakness of states in the north of the Peninsula, must lay to rest the traditional coupling of literacy with politics which underlies the paradigm of the Middle Ages. Between the eighth and eleventh centuries, as estates expanded to surmount locality and enter communities which had made do with memory, engagement with documentation was incentivized for the laity. Organization to do so followed, at one remove: the person of the scribe, who wrote the charter and recorded all those involved in and present at it, before recycling the text back into the community by public reading. The scribe mediated the text, and as his occupation consolidated he became more fully a literate interpreter. The charter, once created, had an active afterlife of dynamic circulation, enabled by multiple and accessible archives, particularly in the hands of the clergy. Written evidence was the surest defence in case of dispute; charters were self-promoting in their mutual citation as well as practical efficacy. But they also diffused legal knowledge: as each rhetorical, pragmatic, silent, and legislative reference to written law was read aloud by the scribe, how to capitalize on its provisions became better known, so kings and counts seized the potential. For the clergy, the Bible, canon law, and monastic rules were the texts which bestowed identity, but as they interacted with the laity, they set the charter in the history of salvation, and modelled textuality to society, as their monasteries became the microcosms of its written framework.

▼ This dissertation is a quantitative study of the spatial business strategies of 130 late medieval and 16th-century European commercial and banking firms, the business networks of which have been put together for a structural analysis of the European city network between ca. 1300 and ca. 1600. Concretely this investigation has been carried out through the application of an interlocking network model – specifically developed for the study of the present-day global city network produced by the office networks of business service firms – to this historical case study, in order to challenge predominantly hierarchical conceptualisations of city networks which are often influenced by central place theory. After a methodological section, in which solutions are designed for reconciling the geographical model with the particularities of historical research, a first part of the analysis focuses on agency within the network, identifying and reconstructing the multiple spatial strategies used by the different agents. In a second part the overall structure and dynamics in the network are investigated, revealing the operation of Christaller's traffic principle, as well as a cyclical variation in emphasis on continental and maritime nodes within the European city network. More generally, this study demonstrates that the functioning of dynamic transnational networks based upon complementarity and cooperation rather than competition is not limited to our contemporary globalised world, but can also be found in particular historical societies.

▼ The historians writing in the Carolingian Empire, with a few important exceptions, frequently ascribed events in recent history to God. Where they have been noticed at all, these statements of God’s agency have usually been explained as political propaganda, to demonstrate God’s favour towards the reigning dynasty. Alternatively, they have been explained by the legacy of late antique Christian historians, from which this language supposedly derived. This thesis aims to demonstrate that this language was a distinctive and innovative feature of the emerging tradition of Carolingian history writing and is best explained in religious terms. It argues that Carolingian historians reflected the emphasis on God’s agency found throughout contemporary culture and that they deliberately reshaped the Christian language bequeathed by their Roman, Anglo-Saxon, and Frankish predecessors. It offers a text-by-text analysis of how God’s agency functioned within each major Carolingian history, to further show the versatility of this language over the period. Taken together, these texts suggest that Carolingian historians wanted to teach their audiences about God’s agency and its implications for their own beliefs, identities, and behaviour. As a result, these histories and their depictions of God’s agency can be seen as a distinctive contribution to Carolingian religious renewal. This thesis thus aims to contribute to our understanding of the relationship between religion, history, and culture in early medieval Europe.

▼ The
subject of this thesis is the relationship between hagiography and cult in the
early medieval west taken through the example of the Passiones of St. Kilian of Würzburg († 689) in the period from circa 700 to circa 1000 AD. Through examining a cult which developed east of the Rhine, this thesis will assess these developments taking place in a region without a strong Christian-Roman history. Thuringia produced new saints and cults in this period, yet they all operated within the overarching framework of the well-established religious phenomenon of saints’ cults. In its approach, this thesis builds upon the insights of Ian Wood, James Palmer and others, in which saints’ Lives are viewed as ‘textual arguments’ which could operate beyond cultic contexts. This is combined with the cultural context approaches advocated in geographically specific studies by the likes of Julia Smith, Thomas Head and Raymond Van Dam. By paying particular attention to the impact of updating saints’ Lives this thesis provides an in depth comparison of the relatively overlooked two earliest passiones of St. Kilian and their place in the history of the Würzburg community. It therefore addresses the nature and function of hagiography and its relationship with the institutional memory and identity of that community. The spread of cult through texts and relics is compared with the distribution of the hagiography in order to form a picture of the relationship between these different facets of cult. The question of the way in which these passiones engaged with their wider political and religious contexts is also addressed in order to demonstrate the functions of hagiography outwith an immediate cultic context.

▼ Le haut Moyen Âge constitue une période charnière dans l’histoire de l’artisanat du verre où s’opèrent d’importants changements dans le système de production. Ces mutations sont perceptibles par l’apparition de nouvelles recettes de fabrication, mais nous ignorons encore largement quelles en sont les modalités, les causes et les conséquences sur l’économie verrière. Fautes de données suffisantes sur les structures artisanales elles-mêmes, que ce soit par le biais de l’archéologie ou des sources écrites, l’évolution de l’activité verrière a pu cependant être appréhendée par l’étude des productions selon différentes approches complémentaires – typologique, chronologique et archéométrique. Pour ce faire, le propos a été focalisé sur les objets en verre soufflé découverts en France et datés entre le début du VIIIe et la fin du XIe siècle, c’est-à-dire la vaisselle en verre, le luminaire et le vitrage. Afin de disposer d’un corpus de références suffisamment important et pertinent, la totalité du territoire français métropolitain actuel a été considérée et 114 collections issues de sites de production ou de consommation ont été étudiées. L’identification des différentes matières premières utilisées grâce aux analyses physico-chimiques a été mise en perspective avec l’évolution des productions, de leur forme et de leur décor. La reconstitution de la chaîne opératoire du verre a révélé la capacité de résilience des artisans du haut Moyen Âge qui ont mobilisé des ressources innovantes afin de poursuivre leur art et répondre à une demande grandissante.
The Early Middle Ages are a key period in the history of glassmaking, when major changes took place in the production system. This transformation is reflected in the appearance of new manufacturing recipes, but we still do not know the underlying causes, mechanisms and their consequences on the glass economy.In the absence of sufficient data on the workshops themselves, whether through archaeology or written sources, the evolution of glassmaking can be elucidated through complementary approaches, by investigating the products from a typological, chronological and archaeometric point of view. To do this, we have focused on blown glass objects dated between the beginning of the 8th and the end of the 11th century AD, including glass tableware, lighting devices and window glass from France. In order to have a sufficiently large and relevant corpus of objects, the entire current French metropolitan territory was considered and 114 collections from production and consumption sites were studied. The identification of the different raw materials used, thanks to physico-chemical analyses, was put in perspective with the evolution of the products, their shape and their decoration. The reconstruction of the chaîne opératoire revealed the resilience of the early medieval craftsmen who mobilized innovative resources to pursue their activity and to meet growing demands.

▼ En cherchant à renouveler la vision du rôle joué par les fortifications et les premiers lieux de culte chrétiens dans la structuration et l’évolution des peuplements médiévaux, cette étude offre une nouvelle synthèse sur l’histoire du peuplement de l’ancienne cité de Clermont durant l’Antiquité tardive et le haut Moyen Age. Si les connaissances acquises sur le sujet font l’objet d’une nécessaire analyse critique, la documentation est renouvelée par une approche résolument interdisciplinaire puisant dans les apports confrontés des données textuelles, archéologiques et monumentales (formes architecturales, techniques, décors, etc.). Cette recherche s’articule autour d’une monographie qui offre aujourd’hui de nouveaux horizons de recherches sur la question des habitats fortifiés de hauteur, et met en évidence la relation étroite qui unit fortifications et églises dès les Ve-VIe siècles. L’enquête peut dès lors être élargie aux problématiques relatives à la topographie ecclésiale de l’ensemble du territoire arverne ; notamment par l’examen documenté du glissement des cadres de la cité romaine vers les nouveaux cadres diocésains. Il s’agit alors d’analyser les permanences, les ruptures et les transformations qui ont conditionné les modalités d’occupation du sol entre le Ve et le Xe siècle, en scrutant le rôle des églises et des « châteaux » dans la formation de nouveaux noyaux de peuplement. L’enjeu est enfin de saisir les réalités d’un paysage monumental progressivement transformé et adapté en abordant la question de la persistance formelle ou de l’innovation, des continuités et des ruptures techniques, à travers l’analyse des plans, des élévations et des répertoires ornementaux choisis, tout en confrontant les données disponibles aux témoignages apportés par les sources textuelles
This study proposes to shed new light on the evolution of settlement in the former territory of Clermont during the late Antiquity and early Middle Ages, by looking at the fortifications and first Christian places of worship, which are believed to polarize the medieval settlement. The main purpose of this work, beyond a necessary compilation of previous studies, is to renew the existing documentation through a vast archaeological investigation. The starting point of this research is a monographic study that widens the research on the topic of hillforts and highlights the close relation between fortifications and churches from the 5th to the 10th century. The study extends to questions relating to the ecclesial topography of the whole Arvern territory, thus showing clearly the shift in the framework of the Roman city towards the diocesan structure. The purpose here is indeed to study the continuity, or discontinuity as well as the transformations in land-use between the 5th and the 10th century, through the role of churches and "castles" in the creation of new settlements. It is also important to show the many forms of the monumental architecture in Auvergne between Antiquity and Middle Ages, raising the question of formal persistence or…

▼ Early medieval interactions with the dead did not stop after the funeral. The graves were often reopened at a later time to examine and manipulate their contents. Archaeologists frequently interpret this phenomena as grave robbery, an economically motivated criminal practice. But many aspects of the graves in question do not align with this hypothesis. Martine van Haperen studied over 1300 graves from 11 cemeteries in the Netherlands and Belgium with surprising results. It became clear that the diggers left many objects behind in the reopening pits and prioritized men’s graves even though these contained fewer valuable materials. Instead, they focused on removing object types with crucial symbolic roles in the funerary ritual and
early medieval society at large. The high percentage of reopened graves (41%) suggests this was a socially accepted practice. Van Haperen therefore argues that reopenings were part of the normal interactions between the living and the dead, for instance in the form of an ancestor relic cult and as a way of dealing with unquiet dead.
