Since I seem to be sort of livetooting this workshop - it's now session two, there may be gaps if I have to focus hard or give my talk.
First we have Walter Pohl, who for those unfamiliar is one of the most eminent scholars of early medieval European ethnicity.
He's discussing his HistoGenes project and using interdisciplinary study and work on whole burial sites not sparse samples to avoid the issue of genetic studies being treated as ethnically deterministic.

"The #tour follows a chronological tale of #Jewish life in #York. We start at Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate to set the scene of Jewish life in #Medieval York.
Here, we introduce some key figures at the centre of anti-Jewish violence that started in #London, in late #1189, before making its way north. Putting ourselves in the shoes of the Jewish community, we replicate their journey to #CliffordsTower, the site of the #1190massacre. This is the most significant Jewish site in York, which saw the complete annihilation of York’s 150 #Jews, the majority of whom chose #suicide in order to protect their faith and dignity from the mob.
From here, we explore the lesser known revitalisation of the Jewish community in the #13thcentury. This story is shared at the medieval #synagogue on Coney Street. Next, at the Norman House, we cover the build-up to the national #expulsion (#1290) and official return of #Jewry in the #17thcentury."
