| Abstract: |
Many hundreds of the known early medieval cemeteries dated between the late fifth and early eighth centuries AD from southern and eastern England have largely been studied in terms of artefacts and human remains. The reuse of prehistoric and Roman structures by these burial sites has received much less attention and discussion. It is suggested that the landscape context of early Anglo-Saxon burial sites provides considerable evidence for the social and ideological significance of the dead in early Anglo-Saxon society. |
