The students from ART478 “The Vikings: History and Archaeology” will present their final research projects as a collaborative scripted performance of a Viking funeral. The event is open to the public, and will be held in the Chancellor Green Rotunda from 4:30-6:00pm on Thursday December 7. Come learn how the medieval Norse buried their dead, as well as how modern scholars can use archaeological evidence to recover individual life stories and experiences.

*In-person only, no hybrid option. Light refreshments will be served starting at 4 pm.*


The Environmental History Lab is supported by a David A. Gardner ‘69 Magic Grant from the Humanities Council and the Program in Medieval Studies. This event is co-sponsored by the Department of Art & Archaeology.
