Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Archaeological evidence from Saxon Southampton ('Hamwih') is taken as a case study for the exploration of how Saxon ports of trade may fit into a model of the development towards full market status, and provide a crucial step forward in the 'Pirenne debate'. The settlement began in early 8th century and was in decline by very early in 9th: it represented 'one ebullient phase' of the evolving Saxon economy, and was probably controlled by the West Saxon kings who had interests in the prestige items imported by the (mainly alien) traders. Implications are discussed. |
