AD 600-900, and in the material culture of the written word in manuscript and epigraphic form. Her research and publications are characterised by an interdisciplinary approach to evidence, combining data derived from text, images, and physical remains surviving from the early medieval European past and deploying traditional historical techniques alongside methods used in archaeology and physical sciences.
