Archaeology of the Norman Conquest

The Society of Medieval Archaeology's first new annual conference is to be held at the University of Nottingham and will consider the archaeological evidence for the Norman Conquest of England.

This conference is centred on the eleventh century, with a particular concern with Norman expansion. Papers are addressing the problem of recognizing in archaeological terms the Norman Conquest of England, and of other parts of these islands.

The conference will examine the full range of material culture: landscape, environment, settlements (rural and urban), buildings, fortifications, churches and religious houses, burial, sculpture, artefacts, pottery, dress and diet.
