The BBC report new evidence of the use of advanced surgical techniques in late Anglo-Saxon England. The article contains some speculation about the circumstances in which it took place (whom the surgery was done to and whom it was done by), and my impression is that it is just that--speculation. Still, an interesting read (and there's even a video version!).

I'll be away from my desk for the next two days, so more thoughts on core curriculum ideal will have to wait until then.
