The Brecks Fen Edge & Rivers - River Raiders Seminar 3: Digging Deeper

Описание: This session presents an overview of the many and varied sources of archaeological and historical information which can be accessed online and used to inform research projects. It will focus on East Anglian Anglo-Saxon and Viking resources in particular, but many of the sources presented contain material relevant to all periods across the whole country.

This is the third event of the Breckland Society’s latest project – River Raiders.

The project is being delivered by the Breckland Society as part of the Brecks Fen Edge & Rivers Landscape Partnership scheme, supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
