Abstract
The Anglo-Saxon origins of Norwich: the problems and approaches
Alan Carter
175 - 204
Summarizes four centuries of research into Norwich's past and shows how recent archaeological work has altered previous views, especially for the late Saxon town. Four groups of potential evidence (the distribution of landgable rents, the distribution of archaeological material, the analysis of past maps, and the dating and distribution of churches) provide a composite picture which excavation has modified. The economic base for Norwich's rapid growth is not yet known, though its role as a port of foreign trade is now becoming clearer for 10th-11th centuries. The current excavation programme is ending but main areas of future archaeological interest are known. See also 79/6477.
Anglo-Saxon carpentry
Cecil A Hewett
205 - 229
Short descriptions and drawings of numerous putative AS timber frames from churches and cathedrals. Considerable sophistication in jointing is displayed, particularly in the framing of the 'Rhenish helm' tower at Sompting. The poor quality of the timber suggests a lack of woodland management. However, none of this material has yet been proved as of pre-Conquest date.
