Bringing disciplines together in medieval settlement studies
The MSRG prides itself on its record of bringing together a variety of disciplines, and the purpose of this conference is to celebrate that approach and showcase achievements in the application of different approaches, from the well-tested combination of archaeology and history – which can still offer new insights; the importance of name studies; and the growing emphasis on the application of science to settlement studies.
