First time in print!

So excited to review Adrián Maldonado’s incredible book, “Crucible of Nations: Scotland from Viking Age to Medieval Kingdom” for Northern Studies.

Like all the best things, I didn’t set out to visit this incredible cross slab (the Eassie Pictish Stone), but stumbled across it during a road trip! It’s become one of my favourites- the details on the carvings are really spectacular.

From a over a year ago- but I feel like (for a first post) this is a pretty good representation of me/my content:

Doing my MSc during lockdown meant that I wrote an entire thesis on #earlymedieval E-ware ceramics (and made replicas) without ever having seen one in-person. A month after submitting my thesis, I finally tracked some down- talk about a celebrity sighting! 😍
