ABSTRACT

Animal remains placed into inhumation graves in 5th-7th century England have been recorded for many years, but for reasons related both to the development of the discipline and the sparse nature of the evidence, there has been little systematic study of these remains. The evidence for animal remains in inhumation burials across five eastern UK counties (Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire) is reviewed, and results from three cemeteries – Oakington, Cambridgeshire; Lakenheath, Suffolk; and Castledyke South, Lincolnshire – are discussed in detail. A broadly consistent animal cosmology is indicated, which may extend across the UK, but the practices in which animals are incorporated as grave goods are seen to vary between cemeteries and even on an intra-cemetery or family basis. This may have implications for the analysis of animal remains in early Anglo-Saxon cremation cemeteries, where the much larger numbers of burials and animal pyre goods have resisted easy interpretation.

坟墓里有一只蹄?在中世纪早期的英格兰东部,动物遗体被当作坟墓中的重物

摘要

动物遗体放入土葬坟墓在5-7已有数百年历史记录了英格兰,但由于与该学科的发展以及证据稀疏性有关的原因,几乎没有系统地研究这些遗骸。对英国东部五个县(诺福克,萨福克,埃塞克斯,剑桥郡,林肯郡)的尸体埋葬中的动物遗体进行了审查,并得出了三个墓地的结果–奥克顿,剑桥郡;萨福克湖畔希思;和林肯郡的Castledyke South进行了详细讨论。指出了广泛一致的动物宇宙学,可能在英国范围内扩展,但是在墓地之间,甚至在墓地内部或家庭基础上,将动物作为坟墓物品并入的做法都存在差异。这可能会对盎格鲁撒克逊早期火葬场的动物遗体的分析产生影响,
