Portable Antiquities Scheme and Medieval Settlement Research Group Conference<\/div>\n\n
Stevenson Lecture Theatre, British Museum<\/div>\n\n\n\n
This conference aims to highlight how PAS data have been used to advance knowledge of material\u00a0culture, and outline the research potential of these data for understanding the medieval landscape.<\/div>\n\n\n\n
In contrast to researchers interested in the Roman and Early Medieval periods (in particular)\u00a0medievalists have not made as much use of PAS data as they might. Although papers presented at\u00a0this conference will highlight advances in the studies of dress accessories, papal bullae, pilgrim\u2019s\u00a0signs etc., and their distribution, it is apparent that many other artefact types desperately warrant\u00a0similar academic treatment. Less understood is any sense of the relevance of these artefacts for\u00a0interpreting the medieval landscape, and it is this which will be considered in the second part of the\u00a0conference.<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Speakers include: Laura Burnett, Anni Byard, Teresa Gilmore, Dr Letty ten Harkel, Richard Kelleher,\u00a0Dr Kevin Leahy, Dr Michael Lewis, Martin Locker, Dr Tim Pestell, Dr Andrew Rogerson, Dr Eleanor\u00a0Standley and David Williams.<\/div>\n\n\n\n
