Impilo engavamile futhi engavamile ye-anchoress, owesifazane owanikela impilo yakhe emthandazweni ngenkathi ehlala yedwa, ivubukulwe yi-University of Sheffield kanye ne-Oxford Archaeology, ngenxa yeqoqo lamathambo manje eliseNyuvesi.
Ukuhlaziywa kweqoqo, elihlanganisa amathambo aphelele angama-667 enkathi yeMpi YamaRoma, Ephakathi, Nempi Yombango, kwembule eyodwa ikakhulukazi okungenzeka ukuthi u-Lady Isabel German, ihange elibalulekile-noma uhlobo lwe-hermit yezenkolo-okubhalwe ukuthi baye bahlala e-All Saints Church eFishergate, eYork, phakathi nekhulu le-15.
Njengesikhonkwane, uLady German ubengakhetha ukuphila impilo yodwa. Ehlala ngaphakathi kwekamelo elilodwa lesonto ngaphandle kokuthintana nomuntu ngokuqondile, wayezozinikela emthandazweni futhi amukele isisa ukuze aphile.
I-Skeleton SK3870 yatholwa ngo-2007 ngesikhathi kumbiwa endaweni eyake yaba yi-All Saints Church endaweni ye-York Barbican edumile. Engatholakali emathuneni eceleni kwamanye amathambo eqoqweni, lona wesifazane wangenkathi ephakathi wangcwatshwa endaweni egobile eqinile phakathi kwesisekelo sesonto, igumbi elincane elingemuva kwe-altare.
Abefundisi kuphela, noma abacebe kakhulu abangcwatshwa emasontweni ngalesi sikhathi, ngakho ucwaningo olusha luphakamisa ukuthi indawo yalo mngcwabo ongajwayelekile yenza i-SK3870 ibe yilungu eliphambili lokuba yi-All Saints' anchore, u-Lady German.
UDkt. Lauren McIntyre, University of Sheffield Alumna kanye ne-Osteoarcheologist e-Oxford Archaeology Limited, wenze ukuhlaziya ubufakazi bomlando kanye ne-osteoarcheological, obuhlanganisa ukusebenzisa ukuphola kwe-radiocarbon kanye nophenyo lwe-isotopic ukuhlola uhlaka lwamathambo e-SK3870.
UDkt. McIntyre uthe, “Indawo yohlaka lwamathambo e-apse iphakamisa ukuthi lona bekungowesifazane osezingeni eliphezulu, kodwa indawo yokungcwatshwa ecashile ayijwayelekile neze esikhathini esiphakathi. Ucwaningo lwelebhu luphinde lubonise ukuthi owesifazane owangcwatshwa e-All Saints Church wayephila nesifo samathambo kanye nogcunsula we-venereal. Lokhu bekuyosho ukuthi uphila nezimpawu ezinzima, ezibonakalayo zokutheleleka ezithinta wonke umzimba wakhe, futhi kamuva, impilo yezinzwa nengqondo iyawohloka.”
“Intokazi yaseJalimane yayiphila enkathini yomlando lapho sivame ukucabanga khona ngokuhlangana okuqinile phakathi kwezifo ezibonakalayo nezilimazayo kanye nesono, nalolo hlobo lokuhlupheka olubonakala njengesijeziso esivela kuNkulunkulu. Nakuba kulinga kakhulu ukuphakamisa ukuthi umuntu onesifo esibonakalayo esilimazayo angagwenywa noma afune ukuzinikela ukuphila njengehange njengendlela yokucashela umhlaba, lolu cwaningo lubonise ukuthi lokhu kungase kungabi njalo. Isifo esibi kangako sasingase sibhekwe kahle, sithunywe uNkulunkulu ukuba sinikeze othile okhethekile isimo sokufel’ ukholo.”
Ukuba yisikhonzi ekhulwini le-15, lapho abesifazane bekulindeleke ukuthi bashade futhi babe yimpahla yabayeni babo, kungase futhi kubanike esinye isikhundla nesibalulekile emphakathini wabo naseBandleni elibuswa abesilisa.
UDkt. McIntyre wengeza, “Imininingwane yocwaningo olusha isivumela ukuthi sihlole amathuba uLady German akhetha ukuzinikela empilweni yokuba yedwa njengendlela yokuhlala ezimele futhi elawula ikusasa lakhe. Le ndlela yokuphila ekhethiwe yayizomenza abaluleke kakhulu emphakathini wendawo, futhi wayezobhekwa njengomprofethi ophilayo.”
Indaba ka-Lady Isabel German kanye neqoqo laseNyuvesi kuzoba yingqikithi yesiqephu esisha se-Digging for Britain, esizosakazwa ngeSonto mhla ziyi-12 kuNhlolanja ngo-8pm ku-BBC Two.
Isiqephu sizophinde sihlole i-archeology yokuhlola okwenzeka eNyuvesi, eye yaqhuba ukwakhiwa kabusha kobuchwepheshe bokucubungula usawoti kusukela esikhathini se-Neolithic. Lolu cwaningo olujabulisayo olwenziwa eqenjini laselabhorethri yesayensi yemivubukulo futhi eliholwa uchwepheshe wokufundisa uYvette Marks, lwembula ubufakazi bendawo yokuqala yokukhiqiza usawoti eyatholwa e-UK e-Street House Farm eLoftus. Lesi siza saqala cishe ku-3,800 BC futhi manje kukholakala ukuthi ingeyokuqala yohlobo lwayo entshonalanga yeYurophu.
Uhlaka lwamathambo kaLady German, manje oluseqoqweni leNyuvesi yaseSheffield, lwakha enye yamakhulu ezinsalela ezigcwele neziyingxenye ezimbiwe endaweni ese-York Barbican. Iningi lazo lakhiwe ngabahlali bendawo njengesizinda esathuthukiswa iminyaka.
UDkt. Lizzy Craig-Atkins, uMfundisi Omkhulu we-Human Osteology eNyuvesi yaseSheffield, uthe, “Iqoqo le-York Barbican likhulu kunawo wonke esilikhethayo eSheffield. Ukulondolozwa kwayo okuhle kakhulu, ukumbiwa kwemivubukulo okunemininingwane eminingi nokuqoshwa yi-Oxford Archaeology kanye nesikhathi eside sokusetshenziswa, esihlanganisa inkathi yamaRoma kuya eMpini Yombango ngekhulu le-17, kunikeza abacwaningi bethu basemuva kokuphothula iziqu kanye nabavubukuli abavakashelayo ezweni lonke ngokufunda okungajwayelekile. insiza.”
“Izoqhubeka nokuhlinzeka ngemininingwane emisha ngomhlaba nangendlela yokuphila yabantu base-York emlandweni wonke futhi ukuhlaziya kukaDkt. Iqoqo lisinikeze ithuba lokuphenya uhlobo lokuphila olungavamile ukuvela emibhalweni yemivubukulo.”
Ucwaningo lushicilelwe encwadini I-Medieval Archaeology.
