Dear Dr. MICHELLE KUMAR of KING STREET SURGERY, OXFORD Phone 01865 2800 Fax 1632 3291
Your patient KIVRIN ENGLE was admitted to John Radcliffe Hospital on 15/01/2055. The attending doctor was Dr. Martin of the Accident and Emergencies Department. The discharge date was 18/01/2055 to Home.

Emergency Authorization for Temporal Site Visit
Faculty Name: Faculty of History
Traveller Name: Kivrin Engle
Date Filed: 01/19/55
Date of Proposed Trip: lapse-time, December 1348 C.E.
Destination: Skendgate, United Kingdom
Reason for Proposed Trip: We definitively know that no one from this town will survive their encounter with the Black Plague. There was minimal slippage because there is nothing that I could do that would create any paradoxes. This disease killed children, babies, good people, who didn't deserve the horrible ending of this disease. We can’t just let these children die. We can’t just leave these good people—the people who have nothing and give everything—to this horrible death. Please let me go back. Even just to ease the suffering.

Submission Instructions
In order to facilitate a speedy review and site number assignment, please review the completed form before submission and include the following checklist with the site form(s).
We strongly recommend starting each new site form batch with a fresh template download from your console as there may have been recent updates.
This form is required to be submitted within ten (10) days of return from a temporal site visit. Please note that this is a preliminary report and that any temporal site visit requires a fully completed final report and narrative analysis to be submitted within one hundred and eighty (180) days of return from a temporal site visit.
If you have any questions, please contact the Faculty of History, Time Travel Coordinator.
I have:
☐ Reviewed the site form instructions.
☐ Submitted timefiles of new temporal site boundaries and boundary updates.
☐ Checked the dropsite coordinates against the mapped location of the site.
☐ Checked all narrated and recorded accounts for export quality and confirmed that the audio and visuals are clean and clear.
☐ Checked the formatting for blank pages, image misplacement, etc.
Required:
The following items must be completed in order to receive a site number from the Faculty of History, Time Travel, at Oxford University. If any of these sections are left blank without explanation, the form will be returned.
☐ All of pages 1 and 2, including Narrative sections
☐ The Curation section on Page 3
☐ Date, Completed By, Contractor/Organization

☐ Site Sketch Map including scale bar, north arrow and locations of all shovel tests used to delineate the site. See instructions for further details.
☐ Site Overview Recording
☐ Site Narrative Page: Although this section does not need to be a full write up as required in a report, it should allow researchers to understand how a site was determined, delineated, and experienced. Use this section so that the level of investigation, types (not necessarily numbers) of artifacts recovered, site delineation, site conditions and future threats can be clearly understood. Include local eyewitness descriptions and artifact/feature depths. If methodological changes were necessary due to on-the-ground conditions, this is where justification is required. If any special circumstances apply, they should be discussed here as well. Updates should include a short description of previous work/interpretations.
Requested:
Brasenose College finds that the following items are important to enhancing the site form. They may be requested during review.
☐ Site Name: Skendgate
☐ Owner and Address/Contact Info: Kivrin Engle
☐ Report Title: 1348 C.E. - Skendgate
☐ Reference: Not filed
Dear Mr. Finch,
Thank you for your return of the costumes—we are always gratified to support Balliol and the University’s efforts where we can. We were greatly pleased to assist in the evacuation of Kivrin Engle and look forward to learning about the temporal site visit—perhaps we will even be able to improve upon our costuming for Edward III.
We also appreciate the donation of the squire’s costume. I hope to see you at our upcoming term’s production of King Lear.
Cheers,
Irene Blackwood

Candidate Statement and Consent to Share Information ☒
Candidate Statement: I am submitting this form on behalf of Kivrin Engle after the recent incident whereby Kivrin Engle visited the temporal site of 1348 C.E. and was unable to be retrieved in accordance with normal procedures. The intent of the temporal site visit was to observe 1320 C.E.; however, due to error with the temporal network gateway, Ms. Engle was dropped in 1348 C.E. Due to the influenza quarantine at Oxford at such time, Ms. Engle was unable to be retrieved for twenty-four days.
Ms. Engle returned from the temporal site of 1348 C.E. with some distress, including physical injuries, after exposure and observation of the Black Plague in England. While in 1348 C.E., Ms. Engle cared for and treated the villagers that she was observing, although none of them ultimately survived their exposure to the Black Plague. Ms. Engle has expressed that she would like to ultimately return to her studies, but is currently taking time to recover from the incident and has deferred her Hilary term classes.
If you are uploading a Candidate Statement then please indicate this in the Candidate Statement field.

Transcript from plaque dedication of Dr. Mary Ahrens
Colleagues, thank you for attending today to commemorate one of our exemplary own. I wish that circumstances had not made today possible, that we could be here with Dr. Mary Ahrens, but since they were not and we cannot, I am glad that you are here to celebrate Mary with me.
Today, we are celebrating Dr. Mary Ahrens’ achievements and dedication to the University of Oxford with a memorial plaque, although it can barely begin to touch on what Mary has meant to us here.
In the two months since Mary’s passing, many people have come up to me to tell me of Mary’s bravery and selfless actions, even up to her death. I couldn’t be more conscious of the dedication, resilience and ingenuity that Mary played in helping prevent the further spread of the recent influenza variant. This wasn’t her first time on the front line for a potential pandemic, and she took her duties and responsibilities seriously.
Mary was an extraordinary woman. She chose to go into the medical field after the Pandemic and she was passionate about preventing future pandemics. Everyone who knew her could tell of her tremendous work. Mary was a pioneer in her epidemiology work on many fronts. She was considered an international expert in epidemiology and has published numerous works on the subject. She worked closely with international organizations with respect to industry-leading methodology for limiting and preventing future pandemics, as seen during the Oxford quarantine.
In addition to her work within epidemiology, she was also a leader in time travel medicine. She innovated the preventive care needed to safely time travel and was considered the definitive authority on medical procedures for temporal incidents. She was passionate about working in an emerging and unknown field.
She once told me that the point of life was to take risks and to leap into adventures—even if you found yourself with an unanticipated result, the journey was still worth taking. That was the ethos that she lived by.
She cared deeply and passionately about her friends and family. She loved spending time with her grand-nephew, Colin, who is here today. Colin, in following the family spirit, leapt into action to help during the quarantine as well.
Mary’s absence is keenly felt here at the University, among her colleagues and students, at the Oxford University Hospitals and in the laboratory. We can only thank her for everything that she did for us. Her memory and spirit will live on here and in the many lives that she touched. May God bless Dr. Mary Ahrens and may she rest in eternal peace.

Dear Ms. Engle,
Your academic record and your attendance at tutorial sessions during the 2055 Hilary term indicate that you are having academic and personal difficulty following your return from the temporal site visit from 22 December 2054 to 15 January 2054.

Site Investigation Narrative:
The temporal site visit was planned for 1320 C.E., Skendgate, England in order to supplement the findings of Dr. Renee Montoya’s ongoing archaeological investigation of Skendgate. Due to circumstances beyond the participant’s control, the dropsite of 1348 C.E., Skendgate was used. Participant observed resident structures of local serfs and local lord (absent) and lady. Participant spent extensive time in the Skendgate church, as well as the manor house of the local lord and lady. Participant also observed local environs (forested and agricultural). Participant had limited experience on the main travel route (Bath to Oxford route), due to initial illness upon arrival. Participant’s experience was limited to Skendgate.
See Subject Interaction below and attached transcript of contemporaneous observations during the site visit for further information.
See Attachment A for the narrative descriptions of James Dunworthy and Colin Templer for their observations during their temporal site visit (no subject interaction).

Artifact Description Narrative: This site visit was intended to be the first temporal visit to the Middle Ages for the purpose of better understanding the risks and conditions in sending further site visits. As such, the only artifacts retrieved were the participant’s clothing.
Subject Interaction
Preliminary Subject Description Narrative: The participant had significant subject interaction. During the temporal site visit, participant interacted with almost all inhabitants of Skendgate (population of approximately thirty) as well as several additional visitors to Skendgate. Participant spent twenty-four days in Skendgate as a guest of Lady Eliwys, and her daughters, Rosemund and Agnes. Participant also observed household staff of Lady Eliwys and limited interactions with other visitors to the village, including the betrothed of Rosemund. Participant spent a significant portion of the temporal site visit tending to the villagers who were exposed to the Black Plague, specifically the pneumonic and bubonic varieties. Based on interactions with subjects, it is likely that the Black Plague was endemic to this region of England at the time of the temporal site visit. Skendgate experienced a one hundred percent fatality rate of inhabitants due to a combination of the pneumonic and bubonic plague.
Through observation, participant saw daily examples of hierarchical societal structure and daily practices within the 1300s. Participant also had extensive experience regarding death and funerary rites.
This was the first recorded temporal site visit to the Middle Ages and one of the longest initial temporal site visits recorded.
See Attachment B in describing each subject that the participant interacted with, including visitors and religious officials who visited Skendgate briefly. Participant was unfortunately ill for a significant portion of their temporal site visit and therefore spent limited time outside of the residence of the local titled family.
Additional detail and information can be found in the attached transcription of the participant’s contemporaneous observations.

REVIEW TEMPORAL SITE FORM INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE COMPLETING THIS SECTION
Use this section to elaborate on details from earlier sections so that the level of investigation, subjects observed and interacted with, types (not necessarily numbers) of artifacts recovered, site delineation, site conditions and concerns for future trips are clearly stated. If methodological changes were necessary due to temporal conditions, provide justification here. Updates should include a short description of previous work/interpretations.
The initial site selected was 1320 C.E., with the approximate geographical site of Skendgate, United Kingdom. Due to error in the dropsite coordinates, the participant was sent to 1348 C.E. and observed the town of Skendgate. Skendgate was chosen due to the concurrent archaeological excavation of Skendgate by Dr. Renee Montoya.
This site visit allowed for in-depth views of linguistical contemporaneous use, health and sanitation practices, religious views and societal attitudes. The participant interacted with a subjects across a wide range of socio-economic statuses and had intimate experience with daily life in the 1300s, bringing back an eyewitness account for the first time of the Middle Ages.
The initial goal of the temporal site visit was to obtain preliminary data regarding daily life in the Middle Ages for a period of six days. The participant was there for a period of twenty-four days, residing in the local titled gentry’s household. After the inhabitants of the town were exposed to the Black Plague, the participant began to treat and care for the residents of Skendgate. The participant recorded her observations on a recorder and the transcription is attached here.
See Attachment C in describing local culinary preparation and ingredients.
See Attachment D in describing funerary rites and understanding of death.
See Attachment E in describing health and sanitation practices, including with respect to avoidance and treatment of pneumonic and bubonic plague.
See Attachment F in describing hierarchical societal structure within Skendgate.
See Attachment G in describing and providing examples of linguistical pronunciation.
See Attachment H in describing local clothing and textiles, including materials used and methodology.
See Attachment I in describing local husbandry practices.
The largest areas of concern for future trips are the emotional impact on participants. Due to events beyond usual expectations, participant was unable to initially be retrieved from the temporal site. The participant experienced severe emotional distress due to their presence during exposure and decline of all inhabitants in the village. The participant also contracted a virus in being sent to the drop site and as such, was subject to physical impairment during their stay.
Any further trips to the 1300s are recommended to be done only after unmanned testing to confirm suitability for participants.

Research Proposal
Introduction: Every year and every temporal site is unique. Since the innovation of the temporal network gateway, time travel has covered huge swathes of history, expanding our knowledge and understanding of our ancestors almost beyond our imagination. However as a whole, the European Middle Ages have been one of the few remaining temporal areas that have been wholly unobserved. As a result, our knowledge of the Middle Ages and their various practices, as well as a factual understanding of the events of the Middle Ages fall well behind their other century counterparts.
While the Middle Ages feature high risks, there is much that can be gained from further observation in this area as the initial temporal visit to 1348 C.E. recently showed. Furthermore, our understanding of the Renaissance will be incomplete until the forces at work that led to it are more fully understood. However, in order to send observers into the Middle Ages, it must be determined if temporal manned trips can be safely conducted in light of the high risks of the era to observers. By conducting a series of preliminary unmanned reconnaissance into three separate periods within the Middle Ages, this research project will begin to lay the framework for further manned temporal trips to the Middle Ages. In addition, this research project will provide a deeper understanding of the risks inherent to any manned temporal trips to the Middle Ages.
Literature Review: This project aims to provide critical knowledge to our understanding of the Middle Ages. Currently, the only knowledge that we possess is from literature and accounts recorded contemporaneously or transmitted orally and then transcribed at a later time. There are very limited accounts of that time and such accounts largely focus on certain classes within the hierarchical structure, omitting certain groups and classes entirely. Additionally, what is recorded is subject to biases and narrative desires of the authors, meaning that while authenticity can be verified, many basic facts are subject to manipulation and may not be correct. Unmanned missions will be able to provide us with valuable information on daily life as well as key historical events. This information will help further contextualize what is known from the era as well as further key historical developments from later centuries.
The sole trip to the Middle Ages paved the way in illustrating just how different the contemporary experience was with current understanding. It also highlighted the risks of sending back a manned temporal trip without extensive research into the risks inherent in the era. Unmanned missions will provide breakthrough insight into the Middle Ages and will be entirely novel research.
Already, other institutions and publications have asked for information received from the initial temporal site visit to 1348 C.E. as the information provided is of high importance and value. The demand is present for the information that can be unearthed in this research project.
Selection of Case, Methods and Empirical Material: The three proposed unmanned trips will all take place within the United Kingdom and are meant to give a broad understanding of this period since there has only been one temporal site visit on record.
The dates selected will be 1091 C.E., 1232 C.E., and 1410 C.E. These dates have been selected in order to maximize the initial information and feedback provided and enable further narrowing of future site selection for a manned temporal site visit. These dates have been selected due to discussion with the Faculty of History and research into likelihood of violence, nutritive and health situations at the site during such time periods.
Undergoing unmanned observation of the sites at such time period will also allow analysis for potential net slippage, in order to ensure that potential observers will be sent to the expected temporal site. The unmanned observations will be onsite for approximately two weeks in compliance with standard practices for initial unmanned missions.
While use of the net is highly restricted, sensitive and expensive, this project would also be eligible for the National Temporal Archive’s funding due to its novel research.
The information gathered will first be analysed in order to construct a historical chronology and then will be further broken down by content analysis and statistical analysis. The information retrieved will be scrutinized in order to determine risks for potential future manned temporal site visits as well as to provide eyewitness information as to the practices and historical events of the temporal site. This fulsome analysis will allow the deepest information gathering possible.
The researcher has also been the observer to the sole temporal visit to the Middle Ages and will be able to compare and contrast her experience with the information provided in the unmanned trips. The three additional trips will allow further colour and understanding to be obtained about what are consistent practices or occurrences and what are abnormalities, as an initial look.
Ultimately, the date collected will ideally allow for one site to be selected for further unmanned observation, which would then be subject to extensive unmanned observation during the expected period.
Conclusion: Since an initial site visit to the Middle Ages has been undergone, the Middle Ages should be investigated, but safely and with the intent to protect both the observers and the inhabitants of the temporal site.
This research project will allow for further investigation of the Middle Ages, bringing back data to deepen our understanding of the Middle Ages, or in some cases supplant our current understanding altogether. This project is achievable due to the researcher’s familiarity with the subject matter as well as the technology for the temporal network gateway.
Schedule of Work: If approved and based on availability of the Temporal Network Gateway, the first unmanned temporal site visit to 1410 C.E. would take place in November 2055, with the second unmanned temporal site visit to 1232 C.E. to take place in February 2056 and the third unmanned temporal site visit to 1091 C.E. to take place in May 2056.

Course Details: This course will provide advanced students with the ability to analyse data from the initial temporal site visit to 1348 C.E. as well as data retrieved from the planned unmanned temporal site visit to 1091 C.E. The course will examine the linguistical, cultural, medical and religious daily practices, among other areas of the Middle Ages.
Effective Date: Hilary Term 2056 and Trinity Term 2056
Proposed Course Number: A-41012
Proposed Course Title: Daily Practices of the Middle Ages
Summary of Proposed Course: For the first time, students are able to study details of the Middle Ages, including a look at daily life in a small village. Students will examine daily practices such as religion and religious beliefs, cooking, household roles, health and more. Students will have the ability to analyse data from the 1348 C.E. Skendgate temporal site visit and well as potentially analyse the data from the initial unmanned temporal site visits to 1410 C.E. and 1232 C.E.
Learning Objectives: This course will supplement other courses surveying the Middle Ages to allow students to gain a deeper understanding of the forces that ultimately led to the modern world. It will give students practical skills in analysing data from temporal site visits and put them on the cutting edge of what is known about the Middle Ages.
Please list the learning objectives for this course. The learning objectives may be particular to the course or linked to the faculty learning objectives.
Proposed Cross Listings: Not applicable.
Please remember that you will need to include a letter of support from each faculty or programme with a proposed cross‐listing.
Proposed Pre-Requisites: Students must have taken each of Archaeology of the United Kingdom in the Middle Ages; Global Middle Ages; Religion in the Early Middle Ages; Women in the Middle Ages. Students must be proficient in Medieval Latin, Old English, Old French and Middle Welsh.
Pre‐requisites must be taken prior to enrolling in the course. Please remember to explain if these pre‐requisites are AND/OR if you are specifying more than one pre‐requisite course.
Proposed Co-Requisites: Not applicable.
Co‐requisites are usually taken during the same term as the proposed course, but they may also be taken prior to the course. If you need to give any special instructions regarding co‐requisites, please make a note in the additional set‐up information box below.
Evidence of Demand: Since the temporal site visit to 1348 C.E., course demand for the Faculty of History’s Mediaeval programme has increased extensively. With the new information provided by the 1348 C.E. site visit, students will need to supplement their prior understanding and coursework and this course will lay the basework for the shift in knowledge that has and is occurring. As the proposed lecturer, Kivrin Engle has been and is likely to be the only observer to the Middle Ages until the Faculty of History has completed full evaluation of the Middle Ages for safety.
The demand for Ms. Engle is high and Ms. Engle has received many requests to speak on her experiences and observations from her site visit to 1348 C.E. The Faculty of History is in full support of this proposed course.
Depending on the progression of the class, students may have the opportunity to publish their results, subject to review by the Faculty of History review board.
Provide internal or external evidence of the anticipated demand for the new (or revised) course.
Training and supervisory arrangements: To be coordinated in conjunction with the Faculty of History.
Assessment Methods: Students will be evaluated on the basis of three essays prepared throughout the duration of the course.

Editor, Journal of Time Travel
Dear Dr. Garcia,
I am enclosing a submission to the Journal of Time Travel entitled “Ethics of Observers on Temporal Sites.” The manuscript is thirty pages long and includes three tables.
Some of the data in this manuscript were previously reported on concurrently with my return in January 2055 from my temporal site visit to 1348 C.E. This manuscript includes some of the observations and analyses from that experience, as noted in the text, in the context of a broad range of observer experiences in temporal sites. I would be happy to provide the articles published at the time if there are any concerns about any subset of the data have been published previously.
I do not have any conflicts of interest to disclose. I have received approval from the Faculty of History at Oxford University review board. I have also enclosed copies of permission granted from other observers whose input and data was collated for this manuscript.
Yours sincerely,
Kivrin Engle
