medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Greetings all,
I´ve been reading a lot of archaeological reports recently, and the
topic of keys, as
possible indications of Christianity, has come up. So far, I´m skeptical,
but here are my
specific queries:
1) what kind of pilgrim badges or other souvenirs might one bring from Rome?
Are any in
the form of keys, and if so, is there a standardized form?
2) do studies exist of keys in female graves - I have in mind the
Anglo-Saxon
and Scandinavian worlds in which women have household keys (or at least,
keys to a
chest to which she therefore has sole access).
I´d be interested in hearing about any studies that might bear on this
question, especially
if they discuss actual surviving keys.
Meg
