A Lonesome Spot? Unpacking the Landscape Context of the Galloway Hoard
In the past, scholarship into early medieval Galloway has seen it as a peripheral zone, on the edge of various overlapping kingdoms. New research following the discovery of the Galloway Hoard suggests that this period in the region’s history was in fact dynamic and distinct. This talk will discuss the archaeological, landscape and historical context of the Galloway Hoard, the multi-disciplinary evidence for Galloway around the hoard’s c.900 deposition, and how a landscape approach can enhance our understanding of this Viking-Age hoard.
All welcome
