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到这片土地上的居民，并在塑造他们的身份方面发挥着重要作用。不管殖民的规模有多大，被殖民/被征服的人口目睹和经历了新的技术、思想、信仰、社会结构、商业等。这种新的经济、社会和政治思想的涌入极大地改变了被殖民人口的日常生活，并最终塑造了他们的身份。同样，1066年诺曼征服后，英格兰在生活的方方面面都发生了巨大的变化，影响了人们的身份。尽管历史和考古记录中都有关于这一系列事件的大量证据，但它们主要是从当权者和精英的角度出发的，同时也忽略了社会阶层人士的日常生活，但也有一些例外(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，而对诺曼人征服的后果知之甚少，该项目旨在确定1066年诺曼人征服对阿杜尔山谷(英格兰苏塞克斯)社区的烹饪实践的影响的强度和范围。这将通过在Lucy Cramp博士和Ben Jervis博士的监督下并在James Sainsbury的帮助下实施陶瓷分析、化学和类型分析以及有机残留物分析等调查策略来实现。通过这样做，我们将能够区分：边境的家庭生活如何受到这一标志性事件的影响，是否采取了任何新的做法或是否存在任何抵抗，以及社区和社会结构之间的差异。这个项目将极大地帮助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，同时也为更广泛地研究征服、殖民及其对日常生活的影响提供了相对的潜力。

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.
