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 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.

This second session will take place at the Henry Moore Institute in order to focus on the exhibition 'Roman to English: The Migration of Forms in Early Northumberland - 10 July-10 October 2010'.

The Henry Moore Institute is located in the centre of Leeds, on the Headrow Avenue (postcode LS1 3AH), and delegates will be responsible for their own transport to the session.
Please note, the train station shuttle is provided for those who are travelling to the train station and onwards, and delegates are asked not to use this service to attend the Henry Moore lecture. Instead, public bus #1 runs approximately every 10 minute intervals into the town centre, please allow roughly 40 minutes for the journey. Alternatively, it is a 15–20 minute journey by taxi.
