Coinage, Landscape and Society in the borderlands: economy, politics and identity in Scotland and northern England, 1136-1603

1136年，大卫一世占领了卡莱尔城，控制了造币厂和周围的银矿，并开始铸造第一批苏格兰本土硬币。这对边境地区的经济和社会产生了深远的影响，并开始了苏格兰和英格兰之间长期而复杂的货币关系，这种关系一直持续到1603年两王联合之后。该项目是约克大学和苏格兰国家博物馆之间的CPD项目，将调查在盎格鲁-苏格兰边境发现的1136-1603年的单枚硬币，并将利用一系列方法，如GIS和激光雷达，以探索与定居点、政治和经济中心以及通信路线相关的区域间和区域内硬币损失的维度。本项目将解决的主要研究问题包括：边境地区硬币的沉积模式及其与区域和国家模式的比较；城市和农村住区在促进边境地区贸易和交换方面的作用；教会机构对硬币的使用和交换的影响；国家政治和货币政策对苏格兰和英格兰之间货币关系的影响，以及边境文化理论如何用于探索铸币的社会层面及其在创造个人、种族、地区和国家身份方面的作用。这是第一个利用盎格鲁-苏格兰边境两侧钱币数据的项目，因为以前的研究和研究只关注国家或地区。这也是第一个在其方法中使用激光雷达数据的钱币项目，也是第一个研究盎格鲁-苏格兰边境硬币使用和损失的项目，其目的是在一个联系和分裂的地区增加经济、钱币和社会层面。

In 1136 David I seized the city of Carlisle and control of the mint and surrounding silver mines and began to mint the first native Scottish coins. This had a profound effect on the economies and society in the borderlands and began a long and complicated monetary relationship between Scotland and England that lasted until the union of the crowns in 1603 and beyond.This project is a CPD between the University of York and National Museums Scotland and will investigate single coin finds dating from 1136-1603 found in the Anglo-Scottish borders and will utilize a range of methodologies such as GIS and LiDAR in order to explore the inter and intra regional dimensions of coin loss in relation to settlements, political and economic centres and communication routes.The key research questions this project will address will include the deposition patterns of coins in the borders and how they compare to both regional and national patterns, the role of urban and rural settlements in facilitating trade and exchange in the borderlands, the effect ecclesiastical institutions had on the use and exchange of coinage, the effect of national political and monetary policies on the monetary relationship between Scotland and England and how theories of border cultures can be used to explore the social dimensions of coinage and its role in creating personal, ethnic, regional and national identities.This is the first project to utilize numismatic data on both sides of the Anglo-Scottish border as previous studies and research have only focused on national or regional areas. This is also the first numismatic project to utilize LiDAR data in its methodology and it's also the first study of coin use and loss in the Anglo-Scottish borders and its aim is to increase the economic, numismatic and social dimensions in a region of connections and a region of divisions.
