Introduction

When Jean Cook died in July 2001 the community of Anglo-Saxonists lost one of its eminent members. Her research on grave goods of the pagan period, specifically 'buckets', was a project she began in 1953 and which she diligently pursued through a busy professional life in Museums and University administration. In retirement her interests in teaching adult students and in participating in Oxfordshire historical and archaeological projects, still allowed her to become the first woman Secretary of the Society of Antiquaries of London. When her term of office came to an end she turned almost her whole attention to her research on buckets, intending to bring the work to a conclusion with a database and a monograph. Her copious notes and drawings over years, together with a database planned and operational, were in the files in her study when she died. Four of her friends and colleagues met to discuss how the work, so close to completion, could be brought to publication, they were Dr Birte Brugmann, German archaeologist and friend; Helena Hamerow, archaeologist and at that time Director of the University of Oxford Institute of Archaeology; Tom Hassall, archaeologist, friend and colleague over many years; and Mary Hodges friend and colleague in many joint projects. Permission was obtained from the family to place the whole archive at the Institute of Archaeology and copyright to any material published was also vested in the Institute. Dr Brugmann prepared a detailed plan showing how the archive could be completed and published, and this plan was submitted to the Society of Antiquaries of London and the Marc Fitch Fund asking for financial support. The support was generously forthcoming and the work began in May 2002. The Institute of Archaeology provided the venue for the archive and for the work itself, including an office and the necessary computer links.
