Morning Medieval Miscellany

Now that I'm back from Cub Scout camp, it's time for a Miscellany!

• Ozark Medieval Fortress has a new website.
• Archaeology in Europe has a couple dozen new posts.
• The Bitter Scroll tells us of the etymology of the word empty.
• A Commonplace Book has a poem suggesting one scenario as to how the Staffordshire Hoard got there.
• A Corner of Tenth Century Medieval Europe discusses The Long Morning of Medieval Europe again, a reports on the sessions at the Rosamund McKitterick birthday conference.
• Dante blogging continues with Canto XX.
• Dame Eleanor Hull explains why being a medievalist is like going back to kindergarten.

And that's it for now. I started putting this together four hours ago, and a string of students seeking advice on their midterms has prevented me from looking at more than the above. Enjoy! I hope to catch up later.
