In this keynote lecture to the 2019 Harvard Medieval Material Culture Series, Martin Carver, professor of archaeology at the University of York, will discuss recent research in the European early Middle Ages. He will review his previously published work on Sutton Hoo and Portmahomack, newly published work on Britain as a whole, and projects currently in progress in Sicily.

The lecture will take place in the Barker Center 110 (The Thompson Room) at 12 Quincy Street, in Cambridge.
 
The lecture is free and open to the public; seating is limited.
