(MENAFN- The Conversation) Gad Rausing Associate Professor of Viking Age Archaeology, University of Oxford Profile Articles Activity

Jane Kershaw is the first Gad Rausing Associate Professor of Viking Age Archaeology at the University of Oxford's School of Archaeology – the university's first academic post to focus exclusively on the Viking age.

Dr Kershaw is currently leading the five-year project, Silver and the Origins of the Viking Age (c. 750-1050 AD), which addresses one of the enduring questions of medieval studies through an interdisciplinary (archaeological, archaeometric and numismatic) study of silver from early Viking-age Scandinavia. It aims to provide the first large-scale, systematic and empirically-based answers to the outstanding questions of where, when and why the Viking age began.
