Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The review draws on published and unpublished work to provide a very wide conspectus of early, middle and late Saxon houses, from humble hut to royal vill, with several pages of comparative plans. Recent excavations have overturned nearly all previous ideas about Saxon living standards, although few fresh generalisations about either buildings or settlement types can yet be made. Sunken huts, whether or not the commonest form of dwelling in nucleated settlements, belong essentially to the primary (late Roman) phase, and when found in later periods usually have specialist functions. In upper social strata, North Elmham's episcopal estate contrasts interestingly with the royal estate of Yeavering. The large, hall-type houses in England differ in fundamental ways from the Continental versions, for instance in supporting the roof on load-bearing walls (or possibly crucks) rather than on aisle-posts. On present evidence, only newly-founded villages of 5th-6th century such as West Stow appear to conform to the Continental model. | |||||||||||||
