Islamic objects in Byzantine lands. A bronze disk weight found in #Amorium. Reflecting on material culture from Amorium, a city sacked in 838 CE by the Abbasid Caliph Al-Mutassim. Ideas after a great conference on Early Medieval Byzantine #Anatolia, the frontier of Arab-Byzantine confrontation.

Off to Mainz and @leizarchaeology.bsky.social for an exciting conference on Byzantine Early Medieval #Anatolia 600-900 CE presenting a paper entitled: "Towards an Archaeology of Crisis: #Amorium and the Anatolian Plateau between the 7th and 9th Century"
