About Ethnogenesis and Kingship AD 300-900
This free hybrid lecture will draw on over ten years of excavations and survey in Northeast Scotland to posit a new model for the development of kingship and the ethnogenesis of the Picts in Northeast Scotland. Prof Gordon Noble FSAScot will discuss connections between the Roman Iron Age and early medieval periods, and the talk will focus on the results of the major survey and excavation programme at Rhynie and the Upper Strathbogie valley which will soon be published by the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland.
The lecture will be followed by a Q&A. Attendees are also welcome to stay for a free drinks reception from approximately 7pm where you can discuss the lecture and other interests with the speaker, Society Fellows and other attendees.
