Anglo-Saxon Cemeteries

Burial in Later Anglo-Saxon England, c. 650-1100 AD
edited by Jo Buckberry and Annia Cherryson
Traditionally, the study of early medieval burial practices in England has focused on the furnished burials of the early Anglo-Saxon period with those of the later centuries perceived as uniform and therefore uninteresting. The last decade has seen the publication of many important cemeteries and synthetic works demonstrating that such a simplistic view of later Anglo-Saxon burial is no longer tenable. The reality is rather more complex, with ...

The Anglo-Saxon Cemetery at Blacknall Field, Pewsey, Wiltshire
by F K Annable and B N Eagles
This meticulously researched monograph was commenced by Ken Annable who directed the excavation of the early pre-Christian Saxon cemetery in the Vale of Pewsey between 1969 and 1976. Following Annable's death, the work was taken up by Bruce Eagles with the support of an international team of twenty-two specialists, many of them renowned in their fields.

The Anglo-Saxon Cemetery at Worthy Park, Kingsworthy, near Winchester, Hampshire
by Sonia Chadwick Hawkes and Guy Grainger, edited by E Biddulph and A Dodd

The Anglo-Saxon cemetery at Butler's Field, Lechlade, Gloucestershire: Volume 2 - Discussion and Synthesis
by Angela Boyle, Dido Clark, David Miles and Simon Palmer
This volume is the second to be published on the excavations undertaken by the Oxford Archaeological Unit at Butler's Field, Lechlade in 1985. The project was initially conceived as a small element in a larger project to investigate the prehistoric and Roman landscape in the Lechlade-Fairford area and the discovery of a substantial Anglo-Saxon cemetery was unexpected. Volume 1, published in 1998, discussed the prehistoric and Roman activity and ...

The Anglo-Saxon Cemetery at Shrubland Hall Quarry, Coddenham, Suffolk
by Kenneth Penn
The Anglo-Saxon cemetery at Shrubland Hall Quarry, Coddenham, was unknown until its discovery during investigation of an Iron Age site. The fifty Anglo-Saxon burials found were possibly the remains of a larger cemetery, extending an unknown distance to the west, the other graves being lost to earlier gravel extraction. While most of the fifty burials lacked grave-goods, or had modest accompaniments, several graves included elaborate grave-goods, ...

Anglo-Saxon Burial Mounds: Princely Burials in the 6th and 7th Centuries
by Stephen Pollington
The magnificent royal burial at Sutton Hoo, with the king laid out in his ship surrounded by treasures and weapons, was far from unique. It was only the most splendid barrow-burial so far discovered of the same period.

This is the first book-length treatment of Anglo-Saxon Barrows in English. It brings together some of the evidence from Sutton Hoo and elsewhere in England for these magnificent burials and sets them in their historical, ...

Two Anglo-Saxon Cemeteries at Beckford, Hereford and Worcester
by Vera I. Evison and Prue Hill
Report on excavations carried out in the mid-fifties of two cemeteries which dated from the late 5th to mid 6th century.

Grave finds included spears, shields, brooches and beads, but there was a general lack of prosperity and the authors argue that the community was isolated. Includes analysis of the finds, skeletal analysis and grave ...
