As one of the leading scholars of Byzantine Italy, Tom Brown has contributed a great deal to understanding of

of Early Medieval Europe. In these two sessions, the work and contributions of Tom Brown will be highlighted with papers from both colleagues and those he has helped to inspire on topics related to his work.

This volume introduces readers to the material culture of postclassical Europe and western Asia. ... more This volume introduces readers to the material culture of postclassical Europe and western Asia. Ranging from Armenia to Wales, and from Sweden to the Sahara, it illustrates the variety of people’s engagement with material objects and structures in the age of transformation launched by the weakening of Roman imperial government. The book is organized into fifty short chapters, each describing and analyzing a different piece of material culture, from entire buildings to tiny seeds, and furnished with suggestions for further reading. Lavishly illustrated to reproduce the visual and tactile qualities of the things that are its main focus, Fifty Early Medieval Things demonstrates how to ‘read’ objects historically. It connects actual things to the political, economic, cultural and social forces that shaped the first millennium AD. (Forthcoming from Cornell UP, co-authored with Paolo Squatriti and Hendrik Dey.)
