In doing so, the Offa's Dyke Journal does not only present reliable peer-reviewed academic research in an accessible venue, it also critiques and combats both misinformation and disinformation shared about this aspect of the human past in popular culture and political discourse in today's world. Promoting an informed and nuanced conversation about their stories and legacies and the positive dimensions of linear monuments is thus a key aspiration of the Offa's Dyke Journal as both an academic and open-access resource. In doing so, we can learn about the human past, recognise how these material traces inform contemporary identities and society, and both recognise their legacies as well as celebrate their redundancies.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49746978767121,"sku":"NGR9781803276502","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1803276509.jpg?v=1751122606"},{"product_id":"offa-s-dyke-journal-volume-2-for-2020-book-howard-williams-9781789698527","title":"Offa's Dyke Journal: Volume 2 for 2020","description":"As the first and only open-access peer-reviewed academic journal about the landscapes, monuments and material culture of frontiers and borderlands in deep-time historical perspective, the Offa's Dyke Journal (ODJ) has a concerted focus on the Anglo-Welsh borderlands given its sponsorship from the University of Chester and the Offa's Dyke Association in support of the Offa's Dyke Collaboratory.

While Offa's Dyke and Wat's Dyke remain key foci, the contents of volumes 1 and 2 together illustrate the wider themes, debates and investigations encapsulated by ODJ concerning boundaries and barriers, edges and peripheries, from prehistory through to recent times, as well as considerations of the public archaeology and heritage of frontiers and borderlands.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51520656736529,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51520656900369,"sku":"NGR9781789698527","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1789698529.jpg?v=1751026757"},{"product_id":"offa-s-dyke-journal-volume-4-for-2022-book-ben-guy-9781803273969","title":"Offa's Dyke Journal: Volume 4 for 2022","description":"Providing a dedicated venue for new research on the early medieval frontiers and borderlands of the island of Britain, the Offa's Dyke Journal (ODJ) is also the first and only open-access peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to the investigation of frontiers and borderlands in deep-time perspective.

ODJ's existing editorial board has been further enhanced by leading experts in relevant themes and debates central to the journal's remit working across disciplines (see masthead for details). The editorial board will provide expert guidance and support for the editors as well as shape the direction of the journal into the future. Each issue is supported by the hard work of expert anonymous referees.

Published online by JAS Arqueologia and with paperback copies sold and distributed by Archaeopress, the journal is supported by an expert editorial board. Each article is peer-reviewed by multiple specialists. ODJ here reaches its sixth volume, the second sole-edited by Howard Williams (ably supported by Kate Waddington as stand-in editor for his own publication). The core aim is to provide a venue for researchers, scholars, students and the general public to learn about the latest work on frontiers, borderlands and linear monuments. Volume 6 comprises an introduction by the editor, and five research articles, arranged in crude chronological order in relation to their subject matter. Vyner provides an invaluable review of linear earthworks across Britain before presenting the latest data on cross-ridge dykes in North Yorkshire, arguing for their role in demarcating 'territories of ritual' in the early first millennium BC (Late Bronze Age), incorporating earlier cairns and mounds. Hankinson tackles a series of 'short dykes' in mid-Wales, arguing from their dates (where known) and spatial placement that they were part of an early medieval Welsh territory, the direct or indirect predecessor of the late medieval cantref of Mechain. Nevell considers Manchester's Nico Ditch and postulates, based on its position, that it might have been an early medieval period linear earthwork, roughly comparable in date and significance to Offa's Dyke, but controlling borderlands between Mercia and Northumbria. The penultimate publication by Belford, Grant and Malim builds upon the interim fieldwork report in volume 1 (Belford 2019), presenting important scientific dating (radiocarbon and OSL) for the construction of Offa's Dyke and Wat's Dyke, both confirming their early medieval date and prompting further questions regarding how and why they were constructed and used. Finally, Williams critiques the current heritage interpretation along the line of Offa's Dyke and the Offa's Dyke Path National Trail, advocating for a coherent strategy utilising new media, art and narratives to challenge misinformation and disinformation about the history of the borderlands and Offa's Dyke's significance within it. Together, the contributions provide new insights into the past and present uses and significances of linear monuments.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52155516485905,"sku":"NGR9781805831051","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781805831051.jpg?v=1757638968"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/de-de\/collections\/offa-s-dyke-journal-buchreihe.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
