A. Bayliss, J. Hines, K. H ø ilund Nielsen, F.G. McCormac & C. Scull: Anglo-Saxon Graves and Grave Goods of the Sixth and Seventh Centuries AD: A Chronological Framework

Abstract

This massive volume (slightly less than 2.5 kg) on Anglo-Saxon chronology, edited by John Hines and Alex Bayliss, is the result of a multi-disciplinary and collaborative project begun in 1997. Prior to the project no comprehensive chronological framework for this period existed. The following quote might express a guiding premise: ‘ Chronological position, associations and sequencing are therefore fundamental to serious understanding of any of the major historical questions and topics for study ’ (p. 560, with references).
