On Tuesday 12 March, the Society for Church Archaeology was delighted to welcome Dr Christina Cowart-Smith (University of Durham), for her talk on 'Sculpting Lindisfarne’s story: The newly-discovered carved stone fragments from Holy Island, Northumberland'
Christina's talk looked into the form and context of new sculpture fragments found during eight seasons of excavation on Holy Island, Northumberland. Particular attention was given to the way in which they fitted into the wider corpus of Anglo-Saxon stone sculpture.
Christina originally studied Classics at Stanford University before completing a MLitt on Medieval Scottish History at Glasgow Univeristy and an MA in Early Medieval Archaeology at Durham University. She has recently completed her PhD, entitled Crossing Britian: The British 'High' Cross in Context and Development, AD 600-1100.
