Culture and Gender in the Danelaw: Scandinavian and Anglo-Scandinavian Brooches, 850-1050

This is a substantial body of data comprising just over 500 brooches and pendants worn by women in the ninth and tenth centuries. It is hugely significant as a new body of evidence for the Scandinavian settlements in England. Many objects have been recorded in ways that can be difficult to access, such as county HERs or image archives. One of the aims of the project is, therefore, to bring these finds fully into the public domain and to contribute object images rarely seen before.
