"In 2020, to mark 100 years of the National Trust's stewardship of the Cerne Abbas Giant, we teamed up with Dr. Mike Allen to date the Giant and uncover new insights. Our goal was to spark fresh interest and to inspire a new generation of research into this iconic figure. Today, we're thrilled to congratulate Dr. Allen and all contributors on the launch of "A Date with the Two Cerne Giants." We look forward to the Giant and its many mysteries continuing to captivate us for years to come"

Synopsis
Provides a scientifically verified date for the Cerne Giant, revealing its origins in the Anglo-Saxon period and prompting new discussions on its historical and archaeological significance. The date of the Cerne Giant has long been a matter for debate, as exemplified by a public and televised debate of March 1996, published as The Cerne Giant: An Antiquity on Trial (1999, Oxbow Books). Excavations were conducted in 2020 by the National Trust in the centenary year of its ownership of the Giant. The excavations were limited and targeted in extent and scope, the aim was to date the actual construction of the iconic figure by absolute dating methods (OSL). As the 1999 publication explained, the jury was still out - with advocates for a prehistoric origin, one connected to the period of the Civil War or a more modern one. In the event, the dates were a complete surprise, falling within the Anglo-Saxon period.The research has provided an accurate, scientifically verified date for the Cerne Giant. These unexpected results, together with the land-use history and ominous 'disappearance' of the Giant for six centuries, provide the platform for reconsideration and new discussion and debate.Part 1 deals with new research: the historical background and aims, the excavation results, stratigraphic finds, geoarchaeological interpretation, land-use history (environmental/land snails), and discussion. Part 2 is the wider discussion and implications derived from the results and places the Giant in his local and Saxon context. Part 3 begins with summaries of the other two excavated hill figures (the Long Man of Wilmington and the Uffington White Horse) followed by a series of essays from leading archaeologists, historians and experts in early medieval iconography., Recent fieldwork provided new, unexpected Anglo-Saxon, dates for the Cerne Giant which are discussed in the wider context of British hill figures and early medieval iconography., The date of the Cerne Giant has long been a matter for debate, as exemplified by a public and televised debate of March 1996, published as The Cerne Giant: An Antiquity on Trial (1999, Oxbow Books).
