Lecture: Anglo-Saxon Visiting Scholar Dr. Jo Buckberry

Place: Dane Smith Hall, room 233

Time: Thursday, April 22, 2:00 - 3:15 PM

Last week, Anthro had the annual meeting of Physical Anthropologists in Albuquerque; some of the attendees are Europeans who are now stranded for a while.

One of them is Dr. Jo Buckberry, a Lecturer in Physical Anthropology at the University of Bradford. She has generously agreed to give a lecture in the Medieval Archaeology course (ANTH 420) that Jim Boone & Osbjorn Pearson are teaching this semester.  To see an abbreviated vita:

Dr. Buckberry's talk will be on Anglo-Saxon burial archaeology from the period of conversion to Christianity.
