A Research Framework for the Archaeology of Wales: Medieval
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper updates the research framework for the medieval period in Wales (c. AD 1070 1539), following the conference held in 2010. The framework has developed over several stages. The medieval period was initially examined in 2001 (Davidson 2003), following which four regional frameworks were compiled, to be summarised in 2005 for all of Wales (Austin 2004). The framework was re-examined in 2009 by David Longley, and the results for the medieval period made available in 2010 (Longley 2010a). These papers made many valuable comments on the current state of medieval studies, and few if any of the issues that were raised have been adequately resolved in the intervening years. This paper supplements rather than replaces those earlier studies and provides an update following the conference discussions. It is accompanied by an updated bibliography for the period 2005-2012.
