Conference/Public lecturers
EMAP’s research agenda and project design envisages public outreach as a key aspect of our project’s work. EMAP staff have in 2008/2009 have given 12 lectures and public presentations at international conferences and national seminars, conferences and other events on various aspects of early medieval settlement, landscape and agriculture and death and burial. We see this, in addition to our reports, peer-reviewed papers and website, as a means of circulating EMAP’s findings to a wide variety of audiences.
