Seminar Series: Medieval Society and Landscape
A series of four talks on Medieval Society and Landscape
Convened by Professor Elizabeth Gemmill and Dr Stephen Mileson
Throughout May and June, this new seminar series showcased fascinating insights into the history and archaeology of the medieval period, with a focus on societies, economies and landscapes. It was intended as a venue for friendly and collaborative discussion of research in progress, of sources and methodologies, and of the interface between academic research and local and community history and archaeology. The Middle Ages has sometimes been unfairly dismissed as arcane and unapproachable, yet its sources speak to scholars across academic disciplines who are interested in our rich heritage of documents, material culture, and the landscape.
