Recent developer funded projects conducted by Archaeology South-East, the contracting division of the Centre for Applied Archaeology (CAA) have, over the last decade or so, begun to fill a void in our knowledge of one of the most archaeologically under-researched areas in Britain. It is becoming clear that rather than being a marginal landscape beyond more habitable zones, the Weald of South-East England was actually one which experienced significant and widespread periods of colonisation. By examining the evidence from a number of sites the author is starting to explore the area’s early medieval landscape, which is beginning to show degrees of continuity from Roman and prehistoric times. This brief update is intended to highlight a revolution in our understanding of South-East England in the centuries surrounding the Roman Conquest. The ongoing research is a case study in landscape analysis and landscape regression. Results will be discussed in forthcoming articles as well as a ‘Spoilheap monograph’ due for release this year (Margetts 2018).

夏秋季节的世界：古罗马时期到中世纪早期的英国人和连续性的迹象

在最近十年左右的时间里，由考古学东南部（应用考古学中心（CAA）的承包部门）进行的开发者资助的项目已经开始填补我们对考古学研究最缺乏的地区之一的了解的空白。在英国。越来越明显的是，英格兰东南部的韦尔德不是边缘地带，而是更宜居的地区，实际上是经历了重要而广泛的殖民时期的地方。通过检查来自多个地点的证据，作者开始探索该地区的早期中世纪景观，并开始显示出罗马和史前时期的连续性。本简短更新旨在突出我们在罗马征服前后几个世纪对东南英格兰的理解中的一场革命。正在进行的研究是景观分析和景观回归的案例研究。结果将在即将发表的文章以及将于今年发布的``剧透专题''中进行讨论（Margetts 2018）。
