读《高平市志》随想

近获友人惠赠新版《高平市志》（以下简称《市志》）,累累三巨册,洋洋三百余万言,诚为地方史志中不甚多见之浩大工程。虽不能尽览斯著,但因为高平市本为三晋历史名城,更是历史上著名的＂长平之战＂的发生地,所以,于此《市志》之大略,特别是与＂长平之战”相关的内容,还是翻阅再三,深觉其历史余味之悠远。     

青海随想

黄河老头一把花白大胡子,满脸深浅皱纹的老头,站在黄河边。他把白帽子摘下,作葵扇,扇胸。他咕咕噜噜唱的歌,我一句也听不懂。我叫他,问他,他不理我。我坐下来,看他,望他,他还是不理我。我拿起一块泥巴向他扔过去,他仍然不理我。他自顾自地发出的声音,持续迷醉自己。那往上的声音,绑紧,再绑紧;那要命的声音,骤然直上,

走进高原回望高原——读王文泸《站在高原能看多远》随想

王文泸先生发表在报刊上的散文,要有机会看到的,看过数篇,受益匪浅。2003年年底和2004年年初报刊多次登载了王文泸散文随笔《站在高原能看多远》出版发行的消息和评论,再次引起我对王文泸美文的向往。抽空去了几次新华书店均脱销。去年2月不经意间买到一本再版本,但因工作太忙,一直未读,直到9月才有一次去青南出差的机会,我特意将书装入工作包。

The Medieval Manor of Penhallam,Jacobstow, Cornwall

THE remains of the medieval manor of Penhallam lie in a sheltered valley in the parish of Jacobstow, some 3 miles from the sea. It was one of the principal houses of the Cardinham family who held, under the king, the largest seignory in the county of Cornwall. Extensive excavation between the years 1968 and 1973 revealed substantial remains of a sophisticated manor house, standing within an earlier ring-work. The stone-built house was constructed in four periods during the late 12th and early 13th centuries. It was deserted in the middle of the 14th century and was gradually demolished. Mo remains of the buildings were visible above ground at the time of the commencement of the excavation. The site, now known as Berry Court, takes the name of a small homestead of probable 16th-century origin, standing on the outer edge of the moat.

There was no visible trace of the hall associated with the early Norman ring-work, but its existence is attested by the subsequent development of the site. Excavation revealed that there were stone buildings standing on the four sides of a courtyard. They comprised a hall, camera, chapel, service rooms, lodgings and a gatehouse. From these remains it was possible to obtain much information about the construction and development of a medieval manor house in the 12th and 13th centuries. Excavation of the 13th-century gatehouse and drawbridge well revealed the construction, assembly and operation of a counter-balanced bridge.

The excavation finds, attributed to the 13th and early 14th centuries, have been presented to the Royal Institution of Cornwall at Truro.     

The Kitchen Area of Northolt Manor,Middlesex

Abstract

The Winchester Moot Horn was found in a chest in the late 19th century when the Westgate was cleared out in advance of its conversion to a museum. Although generally believed to be of late-12th- or early-13th-century date on stylistic grounds, and a civic horn appears in local documentary sources, its excellent state of preservation has always raised some doubt as to its antiquity. Recent study and scientific analyses have now confirmed its early date. A survey of other moot horns from England suggests that at least one other, from Canterbury, dates to much the same time.

Excavations on the Site of the Tudor Manor House at Micheldever,Hampshire

Abstract

Trial excavations prior to building development on the site of Thomas Wriothesley’s important manor house built about 1537 suggest a continuous succession of large houses on the site from the 14th century to the 18th. The earliest structures may represent a country retreat for the Abbots of Hyde.

Pop Anthropology,With Little Anthropology or Pop

Unlike other scientific fields, anthropology popularizations are as likely as not to be written by scientists who are not themselves experts in the subject. This is because the subject, the scientific knowledge of our origin and patterns of bio-cultural diversity—or more broadly, who we are and where we come from—is the source of our culturally authoritative origin myths, and consequently of broad general interest in and of itself. But anthropology popularizations come with the responsibility not only to get the facts and theory correct, but as well to understand the history and embedded politics in the stories themselves.
