“…In early Saxon times, the land was wilder and marshier than today (Hooke 1990). Saxon settlement probably entailed an expanding population and the clearing of woodland to establish self-sufficient farming communities with arable fields close to the village centre and pastures further out (Heighway 1987;Pilbeam 2006;Härke 2011). Deerhurst today is a small village by the Severn, surrounded by tranquil fields of rape, barley, oats, wheat, maize, hay, and pasture for cattle, sheep, and horses ( Figure 2).…”

Composting dragons: recovery and eco-radicalisation of local folk tales in a Gloucestershire landscape

This practice-based study reports on a project to reconstruct from Gloucestershire's surviving folklore 30 stories able both to entertain a live audience and serve an 'ecobardic' intention of stimulating ecological consciousness. The article focuses on the legend of 'The Deerhurst Dragon', which belongs to a 'composted' tradition of dragon-slaying stories. Inspired by local history and field observation of the landscape of the legend, the author reconfigures the tale to expose the conflict likely to arise between large predators and an expanding human population. By attracting empathy to both dragon-slayer and dragon, he hopes to spark questions with implications for realworld conflicts at the same time as enchanting the locality with renewed knowledge of the legend.

“…This debate about Romanization has focused primarily on the advent of Roman rule; there has been less theoretically informed debate about how such approaches might be explored through the process of the ending of Roman control in Britain. While complex notions of identity have not been absent in the discussion of the early medieval period, this has tended to be addressed primarily through the issue of the extent and nature of Anglo-Saxon migration and the complexities of identifying ethnic identity through the use of material culture (Härke, 2011). However, there is still scope for bringing the wider approaches into play.…”

“…At the heart of this discourse are two separate but related questions: first, what happened to Roman society in the early fifth century AD-rupture, continuity, or transformation? ; and, second, what was the nature of the Anglo-Saxon migrations-mass migration, elite takeover, or something in between (Härke, 2011)? These are big questions which would seem to demand big answers, but, inevitably, the devil is in the detail.…”

This study explores the impact of recent discoveries on our understanding of the transition from the Roman to early medieval periods in northern England. Using the Tees Valley as a case study, it shows how modern interpretations of this process have focused primarily on the afterlife of the military sites in the region. However, the increased identification of significant Roman civilian settlements forces us to reconsider the dominant narratives and rethink the underlying processes that influenced the move from Roman-controlled frontier society in the fourth century to a fifth century society comprising both culturally Anglo-Saxon social groups and sub-Roman successor polities. A wider consideration is also given to how the changing patterns in the use of space and in refuse disposal strategies can be used to shed light on wider patterns of changing social identity in the later fourth century AD.

“…Közösségi szinten elképzelhető a bevándorlók és a helyiek szegregációja, de keveredése is, ahogy előfordulhat helyi többségű, de adott esetben migráns többségű populáció is, de az arányok akár nemenként is változhatnak (harcos csoportok letelepedése stb.) (Härke, 2011). A vizsgálatok kiterjesztése a közeljövőben vizsgálhatóvá tehet olyan kérdéseket is, melyek a régészet kutatási lehetőségein kívül álltak, így például a vérségi kötelékek szerepét a kora középkori társadalmak szerveződésében.…”

only about the scale or nature of the aforementioned migration-given that DNA analyses proved that migration had indeed taken place-but also on the applicability and potentials of genetics (and all scientific methods) in archaeology. While the broader impact of this new scientific revolution yet remains to be seen, it is obvious that the collaboration between the two disciplines can yield significant new results (while raising also a spate of new questions) and lead to the re-interpretation of old problems.
