The cemetery at Heath Wood, Ingleby, Derbyshire, is the only known Scandinavian cremation cemetery in the British Isles. It comprises fifty-nine barrows, of which about one-third have been excavated on previous occasions, although earlier excavators concluded that some were empty cenotaph mounds. From 1998 to 2000 three barrows were examined. Our investigations have suggested that each of the barrows contained a burial, although not all contain evidence of a pyre. A full report of the 1998–2000 excavations is provided, alongside a summary of the earlier finds. The relationship of Heath Wood to the neighbouring site at Repton is examined, in order to understand its significance for the Scandinavian settlement of the Danelaw. It is concluded that Heath Wood may have been a war cemetery of the Viking Great Army of AD 873–8.

“…According to CENTCOM planners, this allowed them to prioritize their planning efforts, which began in earnest. 52 During various briefings in mid-and late September, President Bush pressed for humanitarian assistance to be part of the strategy from the very start of the operation. Accordingly, providing humanitarian assistance was pulled forward in the campaign plan from a later phase to the first phase of the campaign, and food and other drops would occur from the first days of operations.…”

“…One of the most important conclusions that resulted from this study was that the modern street plan was not of Roman origin but had been established as a result of a major urban re-planning in the late 9th century. 41 Biddle's work at Winchester was followed by major programs of excavation at a number of important medieval cities. The excavations at the Russian medieval city of Novgorod which began in the middle of the 20th century 42 revealed a wide range of organic materials including many musical instruments and over 750 birchbark documents.…”

The Archaeology of Medieval Europe

Modern medieval archaeology developed in the aftermath of World War II. It began as a hybrid discipline, since archaeologists working in the later Middle Ages were often trained in history and architectural history, while those working in the early medieval period were often trained as prehistorians. A major challenge for medieval archaeologists is the integration of material remains (artifacts and features) and historical evidence. Archaeology is not just a handmaiden to history; critical interpretation of both material remains and written texts can shed new light on the so‐called Dark Ages. After reviewing the development of modern medieval archaeology, this article examines a number of contemporary issues in the field including the study of urban development, medieval landscapes and settlement patterns, ethnic origins, and gender.
