Good news for all those sad enough (like me) to have an interest in the early medieval period. Christmas has come early. Just head on over to the EMAP website and rip open you shiny new electronic copy of the latest EMAP publications.

These include a new version of the project's extensive bibliography of early medieval publications as well as Vol. 2 of their monograph series on early medieval settlement sites which, a little counter-intuitively, precedes Vol. 1 which will hopefully follow in 2010.

There are also some interesting early medieval articles appended to the 2009 progress report that are well worth a look.
