Evening Lecture with Dr Simon Draper
Place-name scholars and archaeologists have not always seen eye to eye, yet the two disciplines have much to offer each another. This lecture will examine the relationship between place-names and archaeology in Gloucestershire with a special emphasis on aspects of the Anglo-Saxon landscape, including Roman-to-Saxon continuity, minster churches, royal and aristocratic dwellings and early kingdoms.
Dr Simon Draper is Assistant Editor for the Victoria County History and editor of the Transactions of the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society. He studied archaeology at Durham University and his doctorate (published in 2006) focused on Roman and early medieval Wiltshire. He has written a number of articles on place-names and the Anglo-Saxon landscape.
