Late Roman and Anglo-Saxon discoveries in Britain
In the past 25 years our understanding of late Roman Britain and Anglo-Saxon Britain, and especially how the one transformed into the other, has benefitted from a large number of new discoveries. Hoards, graves and the results of science have given us much new information. This course examines these various discoveries and details the chronology of the period from the end of the third century AD to the ninth century AD.
Summer term 2011
Late Roman and Anglo-Saxon Britain – a discussion of the issues
The study of this period in our country’s history involves many of the major issues which archaeologists and others involved with heritage management must consider – such as Treasure Trove law, the excavation and display of human remains and the application of genetic studies. This is a self-contained course, but it will build upon many of the themes presented on the Late Roman and Anglo-Saxon discoveries course.
