| Abstract: |
A bibliography of the works of J N L Myres precedes this collection of essays by eleven contributors. Some Jutish burials of Roman Iron Age date are described by H Neumann (1-10) for their possible relevance to later Kentish graves with structural features. Egil Bakka (11-38) has made a chronological study of Scandinavian-type gold bracteates in 6th century, while Peter Schmid (39-58) reports on some pottery from Feddersen Wierde in 4th to 5th century levels which relates to pottery in England. A continental Saxon grave at Liebenau contained an unusual belt suite described by A Genrich (59-71), while some inlaid metalwork of 5th to 7th centuries in Lower Saxony is ascribed to Merovingian influence by H-J Hassler (72-95). The section on British material begins with C M Hills (96-125) on barred zoomorphic single-sided combs (previously termed 'Frisian') of 5th century, at Spong Hill associated with children. V Evison's contribution (126-67) uses distribution maps of selected artefacts to plot the course of Germanic settlement. A different type of analysis is made by L Alcock (168-86) who finds the relatively few Anglian graves of Bernicia are of greater richness than their Wessex counterparts; his study suggests that a small number of Anglian thegns took over the territory and organization of the British Votadini as a going concern. The Illington/Lackford workshop is the subject of a study by B Green, W F Milligan, and S E West (187-226) who find a N/S grouping by decoration, not so far borne out by the fabrics. David Brown (227-40) was prompted to study swastika patterns on pots and metalwork by the find of an enamelled bronze disc from Great Barton (Suffolk), probably of late 6th century. Finally, J Hurst (241-55) assesses the evidence so far for Roman to medieval continuity at Wharram, and outlines the best way of testing it further. For review, see Times Lit Suppl, 13 Nov 1981 (D M Wilson) |
