INTRODUCTION

Dr. Young studied Merovingian Archaeology at the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes (IV Section) in Paris, worked for the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique and taught at the University of Paris XII and Lille III. After coming to EIU in 1994, he started, in co-operation with Dr. Raymond Brulet of the Université Catholique de Louvain in Belgium, the Walhain-St. Paul Program, a month-long introduction to medieval archaeology which is centered on the excavation of a castle and is open to students of all backgrounds, from all around the country.
