SSNS is proud to announce the publication of its new edited festschrift in honour of Anna Ritchie!
Common Ground in Scottish Archaeology, edited by Kelly Kilpatrick, celebrates the work of Dr Ritchie, esteemed archaeologist, author, and lifelong advocate of Scotland’s premodern history and heritage. As well as reflecting on Anna’s enduring contributions, the book contains a range of novel and interdisciplinary research on elements of premodern Scottish (art) history, archaeology, and onomastics.
The volume is the result of an eponymous conference, which was co-organised by the Scottish Society for Northern Studies (SSNS) and the Pictish Arts Society (PAS) in March 2022. The event sought to re-examine some of the richest veins of research discourse contributed to by Anna Ritchie, whilst exploring new research, themes, and ideas. Several of the essays presented in this volume stem from this event.
Common Ground in Scottish Archaeology is published on 14 November, and is available to order now from bookshops worldwide, or from our own website (at a 10% discounted rate with free shipping, when using code ‘ritchie10‘)
The Society extends its congratulation to the honouree, as well as the editors and contributors for bringing this important work to publication.
