Hello /his/torians, I am a final year student of history in glorious eastern Europe university. I am a few months shy of having to sustain my thesis so I could acquire my Bachelor's Degree, and i am in a bit of a pickle…
I want to write the thesis in the domain of medieval archaeology but I find myself in trouble of making my mind upon one subject.
What I ask of you sirs is to give me an idea, a subject, just that. A siege, remnants of an old town, something interesting (that has been attested archaeology). The only things I could come up with are "Religious tolerance in the Norman realm" and some stuff on a local battle, but these ideas seem too general and boring to me.
So… what are your ideas /his/?

That if you are studying in Eastern Europe you should check something nearer to you.
Your teachers should be able to give some advice about interesting subjects around your country.

DESU teachers don't usually suggest local stuff, even though i plan to develop my career locally, archaeology is not a really big thing around here. It's almost always better to do your thesis in a non-local subject, mostly for recognition abroad.

Do you need something local?
Here's 4,000 year old siberian bone armour

The excavation at Holmgard in Russia is pretty interesting especially the varangian period. You could look at the transition to orthodoxy there in the eleventh century AD.
dude, its a bachelors
dont overdo it

Well, you must have a teacher. He should be envolved into something.

Medieval please. And Siberia is like far as fuck. Nice article tho'.

I think a colleague of my is covering that subject. He has knowledge of Russian and that is a plus. As far as I know the ruskies haven't translated a lot of stuff.

I kno

He teaches European Medieval History and Medieval Archaeology, the last one being the domain which I am targeting. As far as I know he hasn't dug up anything for at least 5 years I think. He told me to come up with a subject and he'll just do the coordination.

But he should know people who is digging up something.

Found more of those by myself, the think with the local battle was suggested to me by some archaeologists. (the unique think is about that battle is that the nearby village poisoned the wells with cattle heads before the combatants arrived.) In my country archaeological reports are published online free of charge.

Surely you should make it more interesting.
Trips decide your thesis.
