I am certainly interested in the interaction between early medieval
Christianity and pre-existent religions in Europe, both in terms of
"conversion" and what it means as well as in the survival of folk
customs. I do not have expertise in archaeology, but am always eager to
hear of finds that shed light on the transition periods where mixed
artifacts may show up. My primary interest is with the ways in which
older practices survive but with shifts in meaning.
So please feel free to share with us your research and ideas.
