The end of Roman London has too often been discussed using models that are poorly rooted in empirical evidence. This paper utilizes data from archives and commercial contractors to plot the distribution of activity in London at the end of the fourth century. This challenges the notion that much of the Late Roman city was deserted. However, a brief consideration of Early AngloSaxon London and Southwark demonstrates that by the late fifth century the City and Southwark were abandoned.

St Faith’s chapel is situated beyond the south wall of the south transept of the Gothic abbey church, built by King Henry III (r. 1216–72) at Westminster. The chamber’s paintings, corbel heads and the use of Purbeck marble for wall shafts and corbels, together with 13th-century floor tiles, mark it out as a locus of high status. The paper promotes the claims of St Faith’s chapel to have been the sacristy and vestry of the Benedictine church through an examination of its fittings, sculpture and painted decoration.

The Coningesby family connection with Guy of Warwick is recorded in a pedigree of the family in the Lincolnshire Record Office. The will of Sir Henry Coningesby, knight, indicates that he built the present house at North Mymms Park, probably in the 1580s. It is suggested that the ‘Warwick’ worthy depicts Sir Henry's thirteenth-century ancestor, Sir Roger Coningesby, knight, Steward of the house to Guy of Warwick. There was a connection by marriage between the house at North Mymms, Hertfordshire and Nether Hall, Essex, where similar wall paintings had existed. The association between the Coningesby family, when at the Manor of Weld and the Cutts family, when at Salisbury Hall, both in the parish of Shenley, Hertfordshire, probably accounts for the similarity of the frieze in the Oak bedroom and the frieze in Childerley Hall, Cambridgeshire.

Four-post buildings were found in the Outer Camp on a 1 in 6 slope, facing north-east. They had been rebuilt several times since their foundation c. 900 B.C. and were burnt c. 420 B.C. The village was then reduced to the Inner Camp but within a hundred years the Outer Camp was probably re-occupied. The hillfort was finally abandoned following a fire at about the time of the Roman advance C.A.D. 50.     

从费孝通的两份文献看1956年西南地区少数民族工作

1956年,西南许多地区发生了少数民族事件,一些人通过各种渠道向中央反映情况。费孝通因为与贵州民族工作有较深的渊源,接受了威宁两位苗族知识分子的请求,向全国人大常委会民族委员会和贵州省委反映有关情况。1956年4月,中央决定再次检查民族政策的执行情况。通过认真检查,在肯定建国以后民族工作取得成绩的同时,也发现在民主改革和社会主义改造中贯彻执行党的民族政策、培养使用少数民族干部和民族统战工作方面存在一些问题。针对检查出来的问题,贵州各级政府提出了改进民族工作的意见,并开始对民族政策执行中的缺点和错误进行纠正。

In 1994 investigations comprising geophysical and earthwork surveys, together with evaluation excavations were carried out at Hylton Castle, Sunderland. The results confirmed the former presence of buildings east of the gatehouse tower, and contemporary with it. Some evidence for a hitherto unknown sixteenth- or seventeenth- century successor to the castle was discovered on an artificial terrace overlooking the earthworks of an ornamental garden with associated water features.

Recent examination suggests that the ancient Bishop's Throne of Norwich Cathedral dates from before A.D. 871. The north arm is carved with a dove attacked by dragons. A corresponding dragon from another former arm was dug up in 1975 under the tower floor. The present south arm has the remains of a supporting lion, suitable for a semicircular bench of clergy flanking the Bishop. The carving is naturalistic, lacking interlace. This and the early Pictish punched and pecked technique are in favour of its source being the Cathedral of Dommoc, the Suffolk Roman town destroyed by the sea at Walton near Felixstowe. Most of the decoration may, however, be an addition after the 664 Synod of Whitby, which rejected the Irish church, and prompted bishops to bring craftsmen, relics, books and paintings of Bible-subjects from Rome.
