大厅建筑群代表了盎格鲁-撒克逊人定居记录中最独特、最令人回味的表达之一，并被广泛引用为中世纪早期英格兰王权出现的隐喻。然而，对这些遗址的解释仍然不发达，并严重依赖于诺森伯兰郡著名的Yeavering遗址的挖掘结果。受最近在肯特的利明格发掘结果的启发，本文对肯特的三个大厅建筑群进行了详细的比较研究，并利用这种新的区域视角来推进我们对这些定居点作为“权力剧院”的机构和具体意义的理解。通过地方，社会记忆和纪念碑杂交的主题棱镜探索，这种检查导致了一个新的升值的参与大厅网站在7世纪皇家王朝的家谱战略和一个新的角度如何这个显着的，但短暂的，纪念碑成语是适应利用罗马尼塔斯的象征性资本。
THE GREAT HALL complex represents one of the most distinctive and evocative expressions of the Anglo-Saxon settlement record, and is widely cited as a metaphor for the emergence of kingship in early medieval England. Yet interpretation of these sites remains underdeveloped and heavily weighted towards the excavated findings from the well-known site of Yeavering in Northumberland. Inspired by the results of recent excavations at Lyminge, Kent, this paper undertakes a detailed comparative interrogation of three great hall complexes in Kent, and exploits this new regional perspective to advance our understanding of the agency and embodied meanings of these settlements as ‘theatres of power’. Explored through the thematic prisms of place, social memory and monumental hybridity, this examination leads to a new appreciation of the involvement of great hall sites in the genealogical strategies of 7th-century royal dynasties and a fresh perspective on how this remarkable, yet short-lived, monumental idiom was adapted to harness the symbolic capital of Romanitas.
