Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Excavation at Hereford Cathedral took place in 1993, prior to the construction of the Mappa Mundi Museum and new archive library. This revealed extensive remains, some potentially dating back to the 7th/8th century, including timber-built buildings and a late Saxon cemetery. Around the year 1000, major change saw a roadway installed and a new, very substantial building erected, the latter possibly the bishop's residence at the time. Its occupation ceased in the mid-11th century, the cellar being converted into a cesspit, where a late Saxon sword was discovered. The Welsh ransacking of Hereford in 1055 probably accounts for this drastic decline. Subsequently a large gravel/sand quarry was excavated, thought to signify the construction of the Norman cathedral. Backfill to the quarry included a very large quantity of charnel (up to 5000 people), some dating to the later 8th/9th century. Strangely, towards the end of the charnel deposition, a few contemporary burials were also incorporated, some being irregular in their layout and so possibly signifying a major cataclysm, such as famine. Thereafter, the site was given over to a cemetery from c. 1140 onwards, and excavation of over 1000 burials has provided a full cross-section of the medieval population. Almost 200 individuals were associated with three pits. These are considered to date from the first outbreak of plague in Hereford in 1349, notoriously the 'Black Death', and such mass graves would echo similar responses elsewhere, both in the UK and Europe-wide. The site has contributed to an international study, using aDNA analysis, to successfully identify the presence of Yersinia pestis, and so demonstrate its agency in this catastrophe. In addition to detailed reporting on some notable individual artefacts, there is a thorough study of the human remains, while the interpretation of the entire stratigraphic sequence is underpinned by extensive radiocarbon dating and chronological modelling. AUTHOR: Derek Hurst is a senior project manager with Worcestershire Archaeology and heads their post-excavation. With an extensive background in ceramic studies, his principal research interest is in the central role of finds data for the interpretation of sites. A report of excavations at Hereford Cathedral, including a thorough study of the human remains. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Hardback. Condition: New. Excavation at Hereford Cathedral in 1993, prior to the construction of the Mappa Mundi Museum and a new archive library, revealed extensive archaeological remains, commencing with 8th/9th-century buildings and a Saxon cemetery. In the 10th century a well-metalled road surface was constructed. Alongside this, a very substantial building arose, partially built in stone, and with a cellar. Its scale and design indicated this to be the bishop's residence. It was, however, remarkably short-lived. Its cellar became a cesspit, a pattern-welded sword lay on its floor, and overlying fills included an ornate inkwell, and a collection of animal carcasses. Radiocarbon dating suggests the Welsh ransacking of Hereford in 1055 as the context, recorded in historical evidence as disastrous for the cathedral.The site of the cellared building was later quarried for aggregate, which accords well with major building works during the Norman period, most notably the Losinga Chapel and the new cathedral. A vast amount of mostly Saxon charnel was incorporated into backfilling the quarry, its final deposition being accompanied by inhumation burials, some being irregular. The latter may be linked to the violent hostilities in Hereford (c 1140) during the Anarchy.From the mid-12th century the site wholly became a cemetery area, and the excavation of about 1000 burials has provided a full cross-section of the medieval population, with their analysis covering aspects such as health, stature and even origins. In the 14th century, three mass burial pits occurred, with dating consistent with the first outbreak of plague, the 'Black Death', in 1349. Associated analysis has contributed to an international study, successfully using ancient DNA analysis to identify the presence of Yersinia pestis, the plague microbe.This report includes detailed reporting on the finds, particularly the human remains, with the interpretation of the entire stratigraphic sequence underpinned throughout by extensive radiocarbon dating and chronological modelling.…
