The volume begins with `The Anglo-Saxon inscription at St Mary's Church, Braemore, Hampshire' in which Richard Gameson & Fiona Gameson (1--10) discuss the palaeography, dating, language and meaning of the Old English inscription over the entrance into the south porticus of the church. The context and implication of this example of `architectural iconography' are briefly explored. Tania M Dickinson (11--44) then presents a summary of current thinking on the typology, dating, distribution and production methods of one of the most common ornamental dress-fasteners to have survived from Early Saxon times, in `Early Saxon saucer brooches: a preliminary overview'. Barbara Yorke (45--50) follows with `Fact or fiction? The written evidence for the fifth and sixth centuries AD', highlighting the problems inherent in the written descriptions of the events of this period and the assumptions which would have to be made if they were to be taken literally. In `Why aren't we speaking Welsh?' Margaret Gelling (51--6) puts forward some place-name evidence as part of the continuing discussion about the change of language after the Roman period. Simon Esmonde Cleary (57--63) attempts to characterise and analyse the change in the nature of the archaeological record in England in the mid-first millennium AD in `Approaches to the differences between the late Romano-British and early Anglo-Saxon archaeology'. Christopher Scull (65--82) examines, from an archaeological perspective, some aspects of society and economy in migration-period England which may ultimately have governed the development of the Middle Saxon kingdoms in `Archaeology, early Anglo-Saxon society and the origins of Anglo-Saxon kingdoms'.In `Children, death and the afterlife in Anglo-Saxon England' Sally Crawford (83--91) investigates the attitudes of Anglo-Saxon parents towards child mortality, looking at pagan and Christian burial rituals and drawing on written sources for examples of customs and superstitions. `Contacts between Ireland and Anglo-Saxon England in the seventh century' are the subject of Elizabeth O'Brien's paper (93--102), which includes emergent archaeological evidence for possible Anglo-Saxon burials in Ireland, and Esther Cameron & William Filmer-Sankey (103--5) describe the unusual (complete) find of `A sword hilt of horn from the Snape Anglo-Saxon cemetery, Suffolk'. In `A Saxon “cremation pyre” from the Snape Anglo-Saxon cemetery, Suffolk' Shirley Carnegie & William Filmer-Sankey (107--11) interpret a group of burnt bone, charcoal, burnt metal and pottery as the remains of a `cremation pyre', and the implications for identifying the ethnic origins of the cemetery's users are discussed. Helena Hamerow (113--23) reports on `An Anglo-Saxon cemetery near West Hendred, Oxon' which was discovered by metal-detector and subsequently thought to be a small family cemetery. Bone identification is by Sally Crawford and `The cruciform brooches' are described by Catherine Mortimer (122). Finally, P H Dixon (125--47) presents `The Anglo-Saxon settlement at Mucking: an interpretation', in which he describes and interprets the remains of over fifty halls and 200 `grubenhäuser', illuminating the possible relations between the Saxon settlers and the Romano-British natives. Analogies for the immigrant experience are drawn from the records of the Mayflower pilgrims and an appendix determines and compares the effort required to erect the different buildings. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
