What happened at the end of the Roman period? What changes do we see in the 5th century? For how long did ‘Roman Civilisation’ survive – and what exactly is that? When and how did the new settlers arrive and should they really be called Anglo-Saxons? The archaeology of the 5th century AD is possible one of the most interesting periods in current archaeological research – not because of the large scale architecture or art, but because it documents a world in flux.
This 10 week online course will combine general lectures as well as regional case studies. The lectures will be recorded and be available for 2-3 weeks to the participants via streaming.
