Title:
‘...In with the New!': The future of archaeological research in Medieval Europe
Content:
This session, proposed by MERC, is aimed at postgraduate students and early career researchers whose interest focuses Medieval Europe. It offers a platform for speakers to present ongoing and upcoming projects, as well as connecting with a wider community of early career researchers. Following the theme of this year’s conference ‘Reflecting Futures’, this session will offer opportunities to discuss new and promising research avenues that will shape tomorrow’s medieval archaeology. At the same time, we want to create a space for opening up stimulating discussion, and spark possible ideas for future collaborations. The presentation of experimental or unprecedented work is also explicitly encouraged. We welcome papers tackling a wide variety of currently pressing as well as innovative themes, crucial concerns for the field, potential of new technologies, unexplored avenues, and new work on old subjects/materials. We aim to bring together a diverse group of early career scholars, therefore participants from all geographical backgrounds are encouraged to submit a proposal.
