Dear medieval-religion colleagues, I am grateful and pleased to be able to announce the following details of the sessions sponsored by the medieval-religion list at Kalamazoo this year. As you know, these are not in the printed programme, and perhaps only now may be on the Congress's web corrigenda (although I haven't checked). I am very pleased with the papers on offer (except mine, which I haven't written yet :-Q ), and I am sure you will be too. I hope that many of you will be present at the sessions, to meet and support (and learn from!) our speakers and colleagues. Please, given the lateness of these arrangements, do forward these session details to anyone you think might be interested. (Also note that the room we've been assigned for both sessions, Valley II Room 205, is a good one, and is near to the book display.) ***************************************************************************** ***************************************************************************** Saturday, 8 May 1999, 1:30 p.m. Valley II, Room 205 SESSION TITLE: Burial: Theory and Practice SESSION SPONSORS: The medieval-religion discussion list (http://www.mailbase.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion) and The University of Leicester, Medieval Research Centre Organizer and Presider: George Ferzoco, University of Leicester PAPER 1: Llans, long cists, and hob-nailed boots: Practice and theory in Christian burial in Western Britain and Ireland, A.D. 400-800.
