The Welsh Peninsula is contains some of the oldest evidence for mining and for trade with the world, both across the Severn and Dee in the East and the Irish Sea to the West and South. However, its geography is shaped by the mountains of Eryri and the southern hills including the Brecon Beacons, making travel across the area difficult and leading to several distinct areas of cooperation.
This course will look at the archaeological evidence for the area from the later Bronze and Iron Age and the Roman and Early Medieval period. We will be looking at some of the recent archaeological discoveries and how they fit in our wider understanding how this shaped the Welsh kingdoms that emerged in the Early Medieval Period.
