“…Multiple and sometimes antagonistic versions of the past will, therefore, exist within the same society, depending on differences over time, space, and social position (Innes, 2000). This implies that during the late Vendel period and the Viking Age, references to the past were used for different outcomes and to anchor different groups with varying visions of the future.…”

This article examines the development, handling, and depositions of disc-on-bow brooches from the sixth to tenth centuries ad in the Vendel and Viking periods in Norway and mainland Sweden. A revised typological framework is presented, and the context of these brooches explored. The authors discuss their preservation, re-use, fragmentation, and ritual meaning within ongoing social negotiations and internal conflicts from the late Vendel period into the Viking Age. References to the past in Viking-Age society and the significance of women for maintaining narratives of the past are considered, as are levels of access, control, and definition of narratives of the past in times of social redefinition.

“…Como han señalado diversos autores, el pasado, sobre todo el romano, constituía en la alta edad media una base muy poderosa para la legitimación social (BRADLEY 1987(BRADLEY , 1993INNES 2000;EFFROS 2001). En este sentido, la reutilización de materiales y estructuras antiguas altomedievales en iglesias podría esconder, además de un valor práctico y estético, una verdadera intencionalidad simbólica de apropiación y manipulación de la capacidad legitimadora del pasado (BRENK 1987;EATON 2000;BELL 2005;ARAGUAS 2007;DOMINGO MAGAÑA 2009: 801).…”

En este trabajo se realiza una revisión global y conjunta del habitual fenómeno del reuso de piezas y estructuras de época antigua en iglesias altomedievales de Galicia desde una perspectiva arqueológica. Se trata de dos ámbitos muy ligados entre sí y que sin embargo suelen estudiarse de manera independiente. Para ello exponemos en una primera parte la problemática arqueológica que nos encontramos a la hora de analizar este tipo de reutilizaciones, especialmente la falta de cronologías y contextos estratigráficos. A continuación se presentan los casos en los que existen evidencias más sólidas para hablar de una reutilización en una iglesia de época altomedieval en Galicia. Finalmente, se explora el amplio debate sobre las razones y significados de este tipo de práctica y se presentan los distintos niveles de interpretación de este fenómeno (funcional, estético-suntuario e ideológico) en relación con el contexto social del período altomedieval en el Noroeste de la Península Ibérica. The reuse of ancient materials and structures in the early medieval churches of Galicia. Cases, problems and explainations - This paper intends to carry out a global review, from an archaeological perspective, of the common issue of the reuse of ancient materials and structures in the early medieval churches of Galicia (Spain). Both kind of reuse (pieces and structures/buildings) are deeply related between them, but, surprisingly, they are usually studied by separate. In the first part of this paper, the archaeological problems when analyzing these kind of reuses are discussed, specially those regarding the lack of chronological accuracy as well as the scarcity of clear stratigraphical sequences. Then, the most reliable cases of early medieval reuse of ancient materials and structures in galician churches are explored. Finally, the debate on the reasons and meanings of the reuse is presented, discussing the different interpretative levels (functional, aesthetic-sumptuary and ideological) in relation to the social context of early medieval Northwest Iberia.

Memory and the Dissolution of the Monasteries in Early Modern England

The dissolution of the monasteries was recalled by individuals and communities alike as a seismic rupture in the religious, cultural, and socio-economic fabric of early modern England. It was also profoundly important in shaping contemporary historical consciousness, the topographical imagination, and local tradition. Memory and the Dissolution is a book about the dissolution of the monasteries after the dissolution. Harriet Lyon argues that our understanding of this historical moment is enriched by taking a long chronological view of the suppression, by exploring how it was remembered to those who witnessed it and how this memory evolved in subsequent generations. Exposing and repudiating the assumptions of a conventional historiography that has long been coloured by Henrician narratives and sources, this book reveals that the fall of the religious houses was remembered as one of the most profound and controversial transformations of the entire English Reformation.
