Medieval Archaeology
''Medieval Archaeology'' is a biannual peer-reviewed academic journal covering the archaeology of the medieval period, especially in the United Kingdom and Ireland. It was established in 1957 by the Society for Medieval Archaeology and is published on their behalf by Taylor & Francis. The editor-in-chief is Duncan Wright (Newcastle University). History In the mid-20th century, archaeology in Britain was dominated by interests in prehistory and the classical period.

The cost of producing the journal meant that external grants were needed early on, supplementing the society's membership fees. As a result, excavation reports were common especially in early volumes of the journal. ''Medieval Archaeology'' inspired the creation of other similarly themed academic journals, '' Archéologie med ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sarah has her feast day on 1 September in the Catholic Church, 19 August in the Coptic Orthodox Church, 20 January in the LCMS, and 12 and 20 December in the Eastern Orthodox Church.
