Robin Fleming, Professor of History at Boston College will deliver a lecture entitled, “Remembering (and Forgetting) Little Corpses in Late-Roman and Early Medieval Britain.”  Fleming writes about late-Roman and early medieval material culture and writes history from archaeology.  She is currently finishing a book on Britain in the century before and after Rome’s fall, which thinks through the ways Roman ways of life, identity, burial, and status marking changed once the Roman economy collapsed and connections to the wider Roman world began to unravel.
