The first ever archaeologically based study of the turbulent period of English history often known as the `Anarchy' of King Stephen's reign in the mid- twelfth century, covering battlefields and conflict landscapes, arms, armour and material culture, fortifications and the church.
Focusing on the archaeological study of the Goemulgaw people of Mabuyag, this book explores the settlement history and cultural significance of the Torres Strait Islands. It employs social archaeology and regionalization methodologies to analyze sites vital to the community, revealing insights into the emergence of historically recognized villages. By integrating previously established chronologies, the author highlights the evolving role of villages within the community and contributes to a broader understanding of the region's archaeological patterns.
