Conference Abstract:
The Early Medieval Kingdom of
Northumbria occupied an area that transgressed
modern political boundaries. Yet the archaeology
and history of Northumbria continues to
influence regional identities across Northern
Britain in the 21st Century. Bringing together
academic, commercial and local archaeologists,
this conference will showcase new research and
explore a number of themes including: the legacy
of Rome and the prehistoric north during the
formation of fifth and sixth century chiefdoms;
the Golden Age of Northumbria; Northumbria in
the Viking Age; and the role of Northumbrian
culture in the High Medieval period.
