Publisher's Synopsis
This is an introduction to the archaeology of Anglo-Saxon England, incorporating the latest findings and research, with particular emphasis on the early centuries, from the departure of the Romans to the coming of the Vikings. The author examines the rich archaeological evidence from both excavated settlements and cemeteries, including the Yeavering "palace" and the royal ship burial at Sutton Hoo, and fits the Anglo-Saxon period into the wider framework of the history of England.
