England and the Continent in the Seventh Century: Re-examining the Evidence
Dr Kelly Clarke-Neish (The British Museum)

Dr Kelly Clarke-Neish explores the political, economic, cultural and social connections in north-west Europe during the early medieval period (AD 550-850). Her research takes an interdisciplinary approach, combining methodologies from both history and archaeology, and incorporates a range of evidence including written, topographical, numismatic and other forms of material evidence. Her recently completed doctoral research, undertaken in the departments of Archaeology and History at Durham University, examined the evidence for interaction between the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms and Merovingian Gaul during the seventh century AD.
