Overview

This series of papers arising from a York Conference look at interdisciplinary research, asking what it is, when it is useful, and at some of the drawbacks and pitfalls. The opening three papers, including the keynote address by alex Woolf examine techniques and technicalities noting that for researchers there will always be a trade-off between the need to gain additional specialist skills and the amount of time that can actually be dedicated to the specific research. The remaining six papers showcase examples of interdiscplinary research with topics including Anglo-Saxon wills and burial, textual and iconographic approaches to the study of lordship in Suffolk, perceptions of remoteness and connectedness with regard to the western islands of Ireland, the early cult of teh saints in Britain, and the location of Alcuin's church in York.
