Discovering the Picts at the University of Aberdeen

Discovering the Picts at the University of Aberdeen

This is a past event

Professor Gordon Noble will highlight some of the major successes of the University of Aberdeen Northern Picts project on Thursday 8 October from 4pm-5.15pm (BST).

The Picts were first mentioned in late Roman sources and eventually comprised the most powerful series of kingdoms in northern Britain until the 10th century. The Picts are poorly documented and the archaeology of this time period has been traditionally thin on the ground. The Northern Picts project has provided an unprecedented insight into Pictish society, discovering elite settlements of the Picts, scaling cliffs to find coastal forts and uncovering artefacts that reveal the international connections that helped forge Pictish society.
