Uncovering the early medieval archaeology of Lindisfarne
The city of Durham ultimately has its origins in the Anglo-Saxon monastery of Lindisfarne; it was on this tidal island that Cuthbert was celebrated and became a saint. The early medieval monastery on the island eventually moved and became the nucleus around which the later city of Durham would develop. In this lecture I will explore the archaeology of the early monastery drawing on recent fieldwork carried out by myself and students from the Dept of Archaeology.
