proposals and offers of individual papers that address the topic of the
conference from a range of different angles, such as archaeology,
palaeopathology, as well as linguistic and historical evidence. Papers
relevant to early medieval disease and disability in general will also
be considered. Abstracts (300 words maximum) should be submitted
