Bøger af Catherine Hills

The question of the British presence in Anglo-Saxon England readdressed by archaeologists, historians, linguists, and place-name specialists.

Spong Hill, with over 2500 cremations, remains the largest early Anglo-Saxon cremation cemetery to have been excavated in Britain. This volume presents the long-awaited chronology and synthesis of the site. It gives a detailed overview of the artefactual evidence, which includes over 1200 objects of bone, antler and ivory.

National origins remain as important as they have ever been to our sense of identity. In this book Catherine Hills assesses how far it is really possible to understand when and how the people living in south and east Britain became 'English'.

The subject matter of archaeology is the engagement of human beings, now and in the past, with both the natural world and the material world they have created.
