Abstract:		 Reviews present understanding of the character of occupation from the fifth to tenth centuries AD, in the light of the natural topography and Roman landscape (see 95/1089 & 96/1205). After about AD~450 all traces of Roman lifestyle disappear from the archaeological record: the Roman drainage system appears to have collapsed, allowing the river Itchen to return to its original course, inundating the eastern part of the city; the defences may have been in poor order; and `dark earth' was developing. Although fifth-century Saxon occupation is known from the vicinity, the first AS features in the city occur perhaps as late as the late seventh century, when the Bishopric was established (there is evidence that the north and south gates were closed off, indicating control of the perimeter). The Old Minster was founded on an island in the river, and cemeteries, settlement, and industrial activity have been attested nearby. This evidence is then viewed in the light of documentary sources to consider whether or not the town was a monastic or royal foundation. See also 96/1248 (for the Alfredian city).
