| Abstract | These sessions showcase some new approaches to late medieval deer parks. This first session focuses on their origin, function, and meaning. It explores the ways in which these might be recovered through various methodologies and disciplinary approaches, ranging from archaeology through to documentary and zooarchaeological analysis. Questions asked will range from the general to the specific. What was the status of parks in the long 11th century? What activities occurred within them? And who was responsible for the creation of the largest medieval deer park known to have existed in England, at Clarendon (Wiltshire)? |
