Medieval Archaeology

Catalog description

Medieval archaeology is the specific study of the physical and artifactual remains of people who lived in Europe during the middle ages (500-1500). Inherently an interdisciplinary endeavor, medieval archaeology blends the studies of history and archaeology to arrive at a new synthetic understanding of this complex period by asking basic questions about the nature of sources, how we can arrive at conclusions through syncretic means, and what scholars do when they are faced with conflicting evidence.
