Conquest and Cuisine: Communities' Experiences of 1066 in the Adur Valley

任何形式的外国征服或殖民都会影响这片土地上的居民，并在塑造他们的身份方面发挥重要作用。无论殖民的规模如何，被殖民/被征服的人口见证并经历了新的技术、思想、信仰、社会结构、商业等。新经济、社会和政治理念的涌入极大地改变了殖民地居民的日常生活，并最终塑造了他们的身份。同样，1066年诺曼人征服英格兰后，生活的各个方面也发生了巨大的变化，影响了人们的身份认同。虽然从历史和考古记录中都有关于这一系列事件的证据，但它们主要是从当权者和精英的角度出发，而忽略了社会阶层中人们的日常生活，也有一些例外（Jervis 2013;McClain 2019; Skye 2001）。因此，随着人们对征服和殖民对饮食的影响越来越感兴趣，以及对诺曼征服的后果缺乏了解，本项目旨在通过烹饪实践确定1066年诺曼征服对阿杜尔山谷（英国苏塞克斯）社区的影响的强度和范围。在Lucy Cramp博士和Ben Jervis博士的指导下，并在James Sainsbury的帮助下，通过诸如陶瓷分析（化学和类型）和有机残留物分析等调查策略来实现这一目标。通过这样做，我们将能够区分：边境地区的家庭生活是如何受到这一标志性事件的影响的，是否有任何新的做法被采用或是否有任何抵制，以及这在社区和社会结构之间是如何变化的。这个项目将极大地有助于我们了解诺曼征服英格兰，特别是它对人们日常生活的影响，同时也为征服、殖民及其对日常生活的影响的更广泛研究提供了比较潜力。

Any form of foreign conquest or colonisation impacts the inhabitants of the land and has amajor role in shaping their identities. Irrespective of the magnitude of colonization, thecolonized/conquered population witnessed and experienced new technologies, ideas, beliefs,social structures, commerce, etc. This influx of new economic, social and political ideasdrastically changes the daily lives of the colonised population and eventually ends up shapingtheir identities. Similarly, a surge of changes followed England following the NormanConquest of 1066 in all facets of life that impacted the people's identities. Although there isample evidence from both historical and archaeological records concerning the series ofevents, they are predominantly from the perspective of the people in power and elites whileoverlooking the daily lives of people in the social stratum with some exceptions (Jervis 2013;McClain 2019; Skye 2001). Therefore, with growing interest in the dietary impact ofconquests and colonisation, and the dearth of knowledge of the consequences of the NormanConquest, this project aims to determine both, the intensity and range, of the impact of theNorman Conquest of 1066 on the communities of Adur Valley (Sussex, England) throughtheir culinary practices. This shall be achieved by instigating investigation strategies such asceramic analysis, both chemical and typological, and organic residue analysis under thesupervision of Dr. Lucy Cramp and Dr. Ben Jervis and with the help of James Sainsbury. Indoing so, we will be able to distinguish: how domestic life at the frontier was impacted bythis iconic event, if any new practices were adopted or if there was any resistance, and howthis varied between communities and social structures. This project will greatly contribute toour understanding of the Norman Conquest of England and especially its impact on the dailylives of the people while also offering comparative potential for wider studies of conquest,colonisation, and its influences on everyday life.
