It considers the patterns of power and habitual activity that defined spaces and structured lives. Key areas of early medieval life - agriculture, tribute-payment, legal processes and hunting - are shown to share a longstanding seasonal patterning that is preserved in medieval Welsh law, church and well dedications, and fair dates. Focussing on a cantref ('hundred') land unit in south-west Wales, it uses an innovative GIS-based multidisciplinary, comparative analysis to circumnavigate a restricted archaeological record and limited written sources. The study presents the first systematic survey of assembly site evidence in Wales, and reassesses widely-used interpretative models of the early medieval landscape. Digital resources include databases of geolocated pre-1700 place-names and of sixteenth-century demesne and Welsh-law landholdings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rhiannon Comeau\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1407357123\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781407357126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e British Archaeological Reports (Oxford) Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/26\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 386\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.69h x 8.27w x 1.05d","brand":"Rhiannon Comeau","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43943981449471,"sku":"9781407357126","price":178.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_0d8c2f34-a06e-4d79-8b2d-0eb857d449c7.jpg?v=1681501111","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/land-people-and-power-in-rhiannon-comeau-9781407357126","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
