Outputs
If you are interested in knowing more about the impact of Britain’s Iron Age, Roman and Early Medieval pasts on contemporary identities, this is the place to look. We are regularly updating this page with our publications, useful links and other relevant resources.
Our project started in the summer of 2016, and we will be sharing our outputs and results as we go along.
