SPEAKERS
Dr Goldberg completed his PhD at the University of Glasgow on the Roman period evidence for ‘Celtic Religion’. He has always been interested in religions and periods of change and now specialises in the early Medieval period when Christianity was introduced to Scotland.
For over a decade, he has been working on various aspects of hoarding, from Late Roman silver through to the Viking Age. He co-authored Scotland’s Earliest Silver (2017), co-curated the 2013 Vikings exhibition (in partnership with the Swedish History Museum) and Celts: art and identity (in partnership with the British Museum), and is the co-author of the book Galloway Hoard: Viking-age Treasure which accompanies this exhibition.
