Abstract

These two sessions have been organized in conjunction with a small exhibition of Romano-British and Anglo-Saxon sculpture at the Henry Moore Institute, Leeds. Papers in the session deal generally with the transition from the Late Antique to the early medieval period especially as it is manifested in the material record. Papers in the second of the two sessions focus specifically on the relationship between Romano-British and early medieval sculpture in both Anglo-Saxon England and early medieval Gaul.
