The Siting of Medieval Castles and the Influence of Ancient Places

THIS PAPER EXAMINES the ways in which the siting of castles in England was influenced by the remains of monuments and landscapes from the prehistoric and Romano-British periods. It explores the character, distribution and scale of ancient monument reuse as evidenced through the archaeological and documentary record, in an attempt to discern patterns in peoples’ responses to monuments from the ancient past. It considers the ways in which these places were perceived by both the ruling elite and the local community: exploring how inherited landscapes were used in castle building to structure concepts of belonging, constituted through memory and genealogy. The conclusion is that ancient places were reused by castle builders from the 11th to the 14th century as part of an evolving narrative aimed at enhancing rights to people, place and power.     

欧洲中世纪城堡的功能及其转换

中世纪城堡依历史条件不同而有不同的主导功能。大体说来,9至13世纪,因战火连绵而以攻防为主;13世纪末,城堡开始作为地方政治经济中心扮演政府角色而以协调管理为主;约一个世纪后,因堡主追求排场享受转而以居住为主;15、16世纪,城堡不再适应新的变化,逐渐淡出历史舞台。     

试谈乾陵文物旅游景区标识系统的构建

标识系统最早应用于城市和公共空间领域。在旅游景区,标识系统起到了辅助游览的作用。近年来,由于文化遗产包含巨量的历史文化信息,被各地作为旅游资源来开发利用,并越来越受到人们的关注,出现了遗产旅游热。但是,由于文化遗产地尤其是人文景观和遗址类遗产旅游景区普遍缺乏成熟、系统的标识系统,导致参观者对遗产价值和文化内涵产生认知障碍。本文旨在探讨如何将标识系统这一体系引入遗址旅游领域,通过丰富和完善标识系统增加公众对于文化遗产的了解和认识,为考古遗址公园建设提供参考。     

New Methods on Old Castles: Generating New Ways of Seeing

THE USE of new methods on old castles generates new ways of seeing and leads to new interpretations. Three types of analyses are demonstrated on four late 13th-century castles from North Wales. Feature Analysis invokes the use of a decision-tree to help in the determination of room function. Access Analysis via access diagrams is used to understand the functional organization of rooms within each castle. Finally, a Comparative Analysis employing access diagrams, plans, a table and a cumulative graph is performed to note developmental trends in the castle designs, to detect differences between the castles, and to lead to new interpretations or new working hypotheses.     

The transformation of the Irish border

This article introduces a special issue dealing with partition and the reconfiguration of the Irish border. Notwithstanding southern nationalist refusal to accept the partition of Ireland in 1921, the border gradually consolidated its position. The article describes the transformation in relations across the Irish border which first found a place on the political agenda in the early 1970s, but which was given full institutional expression only following the Good Friday agreement of 1998. This new configuration has two aspects, which seem at first sight to be in conflict with each other: it marks a new, unreserved acceptance of the legitimacy of the border by Irish nationalists (though moderated by British agreement to end partition if the two parts of Ireland so wish), and it is characterised by a significant growth in public sector bodies which span the border.
