Lindisfarne Archaeology through Time by Callan Van Ingen https://padlet.com/cvaningen10/zztav5n9shwaq6kl Lindisfarne, also known as Holy Island, is an archaeological site in northern England with significant historical value. The monastery was built in 634 AD and soon became the leading center of education, Christianity, and art in what is currently known as the United Kingdom. In 793, Vikings raided Lindisfarne, taking almost everything of material value. The location today stands as a tourist center and archaeological site brimming with important historical information that can change the known history of Britain. Below, some articles that make up the information life cycle of discoveries at the site of Lindisfarne in northern England give insight into the history of the island as, through time, the archaeology and access to popular information ramp up. en-us 2020-07-30 20:16:40 UTC 2024-08-17 22:17:48 UTC hello@padlet.com Medieval England's Power Monarchy cvaningen10 https://padlet.com/cvaningen10/zztav5n9shwaq6kl/wish/666135491 May/June 2019

Archaeological evidence begins to show the power and prestige the monastery held--which in turn made it attractive to later Viking raiders. Using earlier information on the Viking raid and the topography of the site helped to beef up the information presented here.

A game piece was found in an archaeological dig on the site of Lindisfarne. Because of its location and design, researchers believe it was possibly dropped by a Viking invader during the infamous raid on Lindisfarne, or it was owned by a wealthy person with Norse connections. This very recent information helps the public understand the growing area of material objects found at the site, as written about in O'Sullivan 2001 and Petts 2013. ]]> 2020-07-30 21:34:26 UTC https://padlet.com/cvaningen10/zztav5n9shwaq6kl/wish/666173578 Normanising the North: The Evidence of Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Scandinavian Sculpture cvaningen10 https://padlet.com/cvaningen10/zztav5n9shwaq6kl/wish/668211548 2011

Study of evidence excavated from Lindisfarne illuminates how the destruction by Vikings helped provide an easy path for the Normans to achieve political power in England. O'Sullivan seems to be a premier archaeologist on Lindisfarne whose works are cited multiple times in future publications. ]]> 2020-08-03 16:56:56 UTC https://padlet.com/cvaningen10/zztav5n9shwaq6kl/wish/668211548 DurhamResearchOnline Tweet cvaningen10 https://padlet.com/cvaningen10/zztav5n9shwaq6kl/wish/668264342 1 July 2019

Asceticism and lack of material wealth was an important monastic tradition, but this chapter highlights the difficulty archaeologists encounter when trying to decipher the history of a site without material culture, with Lindisfarne as a case study. Cited by Petts 2013 in reference to finding the monastery, but facing the difficulty of deciphering the artifacts found due to the extreme asceticism. ]]> 2020-08-03 18:12:56 UTC https://padlet.com/cvaningen10/zztav5n9shwaq6kl/wish/668291849 Medieval Land Use, Agriculture and Environmental Change on Lindisfarne (Holy Island), Northumbria cvaningen10 https://padlet.com/cvaningen10/zztav5n9shwaq6kl/wish/668303536 1995

While there is plenty of anecdotal, archaeological, and historical evidence that the original, Viking-raided monastery of Lindisfarne happened on Holy Island, the exact site has not yet been fully excavated. Possibly using Petts' 2013 writing, this article explains to the public how a new archaeological team will begin excavations on the old site to find even more evidence of the early monastery that will hopefully yield material finds. ]]> 2020-08-03 19:05:15 UTC https://padlet.com/cvaningen10/zztav5n9shwaq6kl/wish/668339633 The Earliest Wave of Viking Activity?

Discoveries of specific Scandinavian metalwork throughout Europe has led to some ideas that Vikings were raiding other parts of Europe even before the Lindisfarne raid, which expands upon the information presented in Barrow 2015. Since the Lindisfarne raid is known to be the first major Viking raid, this discovery could change history.

This article emphasizes the importance of geography with site; archaeologists must take the geography of the site into consideration to understand the history they dig up. This article uses Lindisfarne as a case study of this fact and looks to be one of the earliest modern scholarly articles investigating Lindisfarne after thorough archaeological excavation. ]]> 2020-08-03 21:38:13 UTC https://padlet.com/cvaningen10/zztav5n9shwaq6kl/wish/668455915
