Reference Group

Many project reference groups consist exclusively of senior scholars, a professorial panel of elders. Ours is intentionally different, in that alongside well-established academics we also have a number of early career researchers, providing a mix of deep experience and imaginative innovation at the forefront of new ideas in Viking archaeology and related disciplines; women are in the majority. We want people who will surprise us, challenge our interpretations, and take us in unanticipated directions. The group functions as an informal circle of critical friends, giving us feedback, suggestions, critique and guidance.
