| Abstract | Merovingian history is always, at some level, an interdisciplinary enterprise: That fact explains both the challenge and vitality of the field. Re-appraisal of source-evidence in one field spurs innovation and insight in another. In this session three papers seek to re-appraise the evidence of a different source type: history, archaeology, and liturgy. In the light of a planned re-appraisal of the state of modern Merovingian studies (The Oxford Handbook of the Merovingian World), this session will deliberate on the fruitful intersection of history and archaeology, of word and practice. |
