项目摘要

The fifth-ninth centuries A.D. were pivotal to the formation of kingdoms in post-Roman northern Europe. Excavated sites of royal and aristocratic residence constitute one of the most important sources of archaeological evidence for understanding this process, providing important insights into new forms of architecture and material practices that were strategically deployed as tools of kingship. A comparative perspective is crucial for understanding how these phenomena developed as a shared response to the growth of socio-political complexity across the early medieval northern world. While a surge in new archaeological data from Scandinavia and neighbouring regions of northern continental Europe has stimulated new debate and interdisciplinary approaches, a British perspective has been lacking in recent discourse due to a limited sample of sites and an old evidence base. The key aim of the proposed network is to harness the potential of a suite of new projects examining sites of royal residence across early medieval Britain to redress this imbalance and establish a more holistic research agenda for the future. The past five years have seen the initiation of five research projects, each examining or seeking to reassess sites of royal residence on an ambitious scale, four in regions of Britain where such phenomena were previously unattested: Lyminge (Kent), Sutton Courtenay/Long Wittenham (Oxfordshire); Rendlesham (Suffolk), Rhynie (Pictland) and Yeavering (Northumberland). We will bring the directors of the constituent projects into a sustained dialogue to share findings, compare methodologies and question assumptions, and open up this dialogue to leading national and international scholars to develop comparative interdisciplinary perspectives.We will organise a series of three meetings over 24 months, each addressing an overarching theme of interdisciplinary significance: site dynamics and long-term chronologies; architectures of power: ritual action, performance and the built environment; and royal residences and networks of power. Each meeting will be attended by 18 participants, including early career researchers and PhD students and scholars from different countries and disciplines. The intended focus for debate will be circulated in advance, together with summaries of the invited papers to inform and structure discussion. We will engage with national agencies such as English Heritage and Historic Scotland to inform the future management and exploitation of such sites as key heritage assets esteemed for their rarity and cultural significance. This will include inviting senior members of these bodies to sit on a Network Advisory Committee and to attend its meetings. We will also produce two resources that will significantly enhance the impact achieved by the five participating research projects within local communities: a dedicated facility on the Network web-site for special interest groups and local schools to curate their own temporary on-line exhibition, and an Education Pack that will encourage primary schools to engage with a site of early medieval royal residence in their locality in fun and creative ways in the delivery of History National Curriculum at Key Stage 2. Both of these resources will be made available beyond the life of the network as a legacy of the research.A web-site and an edited collection of essays will be produced in order to guarantee the continuity of the network and to maximise the dissemination of its research findings. The web-site will include content for both academic and public audiences and will maximise reach through linked social media. It will post summaries of the meetings, publish announcements of work in progress, and facilitate contacts to and within the Network over the course of the project. The main vehicle for academic dissemination will be an edited collection of essays/journal special edition, including contributions solicited from younger scholars.

公元五世纪至九世纪是后罗马时期北欧王国形成的关键时期。出土的皇家和贵族住宅遗址是理解这一过程的最重要的考古证据来源之一，为了解被战略性地用作王权工具的新建筑形式和材料实践提供了重要见解。比较视角对于理解这些现象是如何作为对整个中世纪早期北方世界社会政治复杂性增长的共同反应而发展起来的至关重要。尽管来自斯堪的纳维亚半岛和欧洲大陆北部邻近地区的新考古数据激增激发了新的辩论和跨学科方法，但由于遗址样本有限和旧的证据基础，最近的讨论中缺乏英国的观点。拟议网络的主要目标是利用一系列新项目的潜力，对英国中世纪早期的皇家住所进行考察，以纠正这种不平衡，并为未来建立更全面的研究议程。在过去的五年里，启动了五个研究项目，每个项目都雄心勃勃地检查或寻求重新评估王室住所的地点，其中四个项目位于英国以前未曾证实此类现象的地区：莱明厄（肯特郡）、萨顿考特尼/朗威特纳姆（牛津郡）；伦德尔舍姆（萨福克）、莱尼（皮克特兰）和耶弗林（诺森伯兰）。我们将让各组成项目的负责人进行持续的对话，以分享研究结果、比较方法和问题假设，并向领先的国内和国际学者开放这种对话，以发展比较的跨学科视角。我们将在 24 个月内组织一系列三场会议，每次会议都讨论具有跨学科意义的总体主题：场地动态和长期年表；权力建筑：仪式行为、表演和建筑环境；以及皇家住所和权力网络。每次会议将有18名与会者参加，包括来自不同国家和学科的早期职业研究人员和博士生和学者。辩论的预期焦点以及受邀论文的摘要将提前分发，以指导和组织讨论。我们将与英国遗产和历史苏格兰等国家机构合作，为这些遗址的未来管理和开发提供信息，这些遗址是因其稀有性和文化意义而受到推崇的重要遗产资产。这将包括邀请这些机构的高级成员担任网络咨询委员会成员并出席其会议。我们还将制作两种资源，以显着增强五个参与研究项目在当地社区内所取得的影响：网络网站上的专用设施，供特殊兴趣团体和当地学校策划自己的临时在线展览，以及教育包，鼓励小学在第二关键阶段的国家历史课程的教学中，以有趣和创造性的方式与当地中世纪早期皇家住所遗址进行互动。这两种资源都将在学生生命结束后提供。网络作为研究的遗产。将制作一个网站和编辑的论文集，以保证网络的连续性并最大限度地传播其研究成果。该网站将包括面向学术和公众受众的内容，并将通过链接的社交媒体最大限度地扩大影响范围。它将发布会议摘要，发布正在进行的工作公告，并在项目过程中促进网络内部的联系。学术传播的主要工具将是编辑后的论文集/期刊特刊，其中包括向年轻学者征集的稿件。
