Summary: | This publication is the culmination of an extended programme of conferences that have sought to mark the contribution of F.T. Wainwright to Pictish studies and in particular the 50th anniversary of The Problem of the Picts. The book is firmly in the tradition of inter-disciplinary scholarship Wainwright did so much to promote and brings together much fresh thinking on the archaeological, art-historical, placename and historical understanding of Northern Britain in the second half of the first millennium AD. Within a wider, European framework it addresses questions of landscape, material culture and mentalities, revealing some of the different strategies by which the Picts made their world. All the studies are accessibly presented to serve the interests of students, teachers and anyone interested in the roots of European civilisation.Contributors are Barbara E. Crawford, Nicholas Evans, Iain Fraser, James Fraser, Meggan Gondek, Stratford Halliday, Andrew Heald, Kellie Meyer, Gordon Noble, Robert D. Stevick, Simon Taylor and Sarah Winlow. |
