Our deepest sympathies to our UCC Archaeology colleague Dr Tomás Ó Carragáin on the passing of his father Prof. Éamonn Ó Carragáin.

The death of another great early medieval scholar ( so soon after the passing of Jinty Nelson). I was fortunate enough to go on one of Eamonn’s tours of Rome, a truly memorable experience with such an entertaining and learned guide.
Oct 17: Feast of the translation of Æthelthryth (†679), abbess. Richard, abbot of Elyg (Ely, Cambridgeshire), moved her remains into the new Norman church #OTD in 1106. She was wife to Ecgfrith, king of the Northumbrians, then nun at Coludaesburg (Coldingham) and founder of Ely.
@PaulineStaffor3 I mourn her loss - Jinty changed medieval studies not just by her brilliant scholarship but also by her humanity. Her example made everyone raise their game as scholars, friends and colleagues.
The Hexham Hoard was discovered in the abbey grounds by the sexton and his assistant while digging a grave #OTD in 1832. Some 8,000 Northumbrian coins of the 9thC were found preserved in a bronze bucket of the same period. 📸British Museum

Fascinating to see these photos of almost 20 English coins from the early 10C found in recent excavations at the Palazzo della Rovere in Rome, in the middle of the early medieval Schola Saxonum. Work on-going! Photos and more details from here: https://t.co/rTsBnK9NDY
Arthur made a huge contribution to the discipline of History, which I saw in his work with the HA and RHS. He was hugely impressive but had no airs and graces. He was warm and funny. A huge loss.
Some extremely exciting work by ASNC’s @Rory_Naismith and his collaborators, which will surely be important for all those who work on early medieval economy and trade. Many congratulations!
