The Society for Medieval Archaeology’s autumn conference will examine the issue of the Norman Conquest and look at the broader question of changes in the eleventh century, both in England and elsewhere. Speakers will consider the full range of material remains, including landscapes, burial practices, settlements, buildings, fortifications, churches, towns and artefacts.

The keynote speakers are Hugh Thomas (University of Miami) and Richard Morris (University of Huddersfield). Other speakers at the conference include Paul Everson, Michael Lewis, Aleksandra McClain, Deirdre O’Sullivan, David Petts, Simon Roffey, David Stocker, Naomi Sykes and Gordon Young.
 
The conference will be held at the University of Nottingham from 20th to 22nd September. Accommodation on campus is limited, so early booking is suggested.
