Hey #medievatwitter, does anyone know if assemblies and assembly places have been looked at in an early medieval context for England? I know there is some later stuff (post 10th century) but that is too late for me.

Quite a lot :) e.g. https://www.ucl.ac.uk/archaeology/research/landscapes-governance/ …; also Levi Roach's https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/kingship-and-consent-in-anglosaxon-england-871978/9096D82D359E91D152B0D527ECC46EDD … and Alexi Pantos' PhD thesis https://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.395697 … and Howard Williams' https://www.academia.edu/29738793/Cemeteries_as_Central_Places_-Place_and_Identity_in_Migration_Period_Eastern_England … I also did a bit on the Lincolnshire ones in my 2012 PhD book, 2nd edn due out next month :)

Looking forward to the Lincolnshire stuff, I’ve studied Lindsey a bit for my PhD.

Thanks! I mainly look at fifth to seventh centuries, but the Lissingleys site in central Lindsey is especially interesting -- potentially in use from RB period to Late Saxon (when it lay at the junction of the three Anglo-Scandinavian ridings), plus medieval common rights etc :)

I look at the 7th to 9th (and earlier) so there is definitely some overlap. I think the Lindsey stuff is so interesting.
