“…Though there is no evidence of Christian burial from an early period in this area, the excavated long cist does meet some criteria for the identification of an Early Christian burial: it is orientated east/west and no grave goods were present. Groups of long cists are being found with increasing regularity in south-east Scotland, both north and south of the Firth of Forth (see Dalland 1992 andProudfoot 1996 for recent discussions), and are often presumed to represent a Christian burial rite. Recent excavations and resultant radiocarbon dates have demonstrated a closely comparable range of dates for long cist cemeteries at the Catstane (Cowie 1978), the Hallow Hill (Proudfoot 1996), Four Winds (Dalland 1992) and Avonmill Road (Dalland 1993).…”

The New Cambridge Medieval History

The first volume of The New Cambridge Medieval History covers the transitional period between the later Roman world and the early middle ages, c.500 to c.700. This was an era of developing consciousness and profound change in Europe, Byzantium and the Arab world, an era in which the foundations of medieval society were laid and to which many of our modern myths of national and religious identity can be traced. This book offers a comprehensive regional survey of the sixth and seventh centuries, from Ireland in the west to the rise of Islam in the Middle East, and from Scandinavia in the north to the Mediterranean south. It explores the key themes pinning together the history of this period, from kingship, trade and the church, to art, architecture and education. It represents both an invaluable conspectus of current scholarship and an expert introduction to the period.
