Join us at the University of Sussex on Saturday 8th November 2025 for The Sussex Archaeological Society’s Annual Conference, Sūþseaxna: New Research from the Early Medieval Record
Join The Sussex Archaeological Society for a full-day conference exploring cutting-edge research on the Early Medieval period in Sussex, from the end of Roman Britain to the eve of the Norman Conquest. This pivotal era - once framed simply as the “Anglo-Saxon” age - is now understood to be far more complex, with new discoveries shedding light on the dynamic, diverse, and inter-connected communities that shaped early Sussex.
Building on the legacy of the influential South Saxons (Brandon, 1978) and the Epic Changes conference (2007), this event brings together leading researchers to present major new findings from cemeteries, landscapes, and artefacts.
The day will feature talks from leading archaeologists and historians, including a keynote lecture by Dr Gabor Thomas on village core archaeology, and sessions on burial practices, landscape archaeology, and the significance of recent finds. With contributions from both established researchers and recent fieldwork teams, the conference offers a fascinating event for anyone interested in the Early Medieval period or the archaeology of Sussex.
