Roman, Medieval and Historical

Our research sets archaeological and interdisciplinary agendas for the most significant themes of the Roman, Medieval and Historical periods on a global canvas. We investigate a diverse range of topics within these time frames, but also interrogate the links and transitions between them.

Key research themes include: 

• Roman slavery
• Roman Mediterranean and mobility
• Migration, trade and craft in the Viking Age
• The Norman Conquest
• Medieval Islamic archaeology
• Death and commemoration
• Country houses and estate landscapes
• Historic buildings
• Colonialism and decolonisation
• Contemporary challenges and conflict
• The origins of modernity

As part of our interdisciplinary approach we work closely with our colleagues in the Centre for Medieval Studies, Centre for Eighteenth Century Studies, Christianity and Culture, and BioArCh.
