Virtual Museum of Medieval Archaeology...
Michael Fuller and Neathery Fuller are
professional archaeologists/college professors with 30 years experience in excavating at
Medieval Archaeology in
the Middle East and Europe. Michael has a PHD degree in Anthropological Archaeology and Neathery has an MA degree in Anthropological Archaeology.
You are welcome to link to this page, print images for use in term papers or reports,
but do not electronically duplicate the images without expressed permission of Professor Fuller.
We are working on Medieval Viking, French and German links. They will
eventually appear. Most of these linked webpages are to artifacts that we photographed through glass cases in dark museum galleries.
The exception are the links to Medieval artifacts from our 14 years of excavation at Tuneinir in Syria and 4 years of excavation at Markovi
Kule in the Republic of Macedonia.
It has been brought to my attention that an SCA Laurel said that this webpage came down because it had plagarized images. Wrong!
This website has never posted scanned images, but the website did come down in September 2008 because of a disagreement between Michael and a Laurel over Michael's
captions on two images. Darn, I am not a Laurel! Just a PHD. PS. Yes, there are also typos! 27 October 2008
