Abstract
Report on excavations of the Anglo-Saxon cemetery at Updown, Eastry, Kent
Martin G Welch
1 - 146
Reports excavations carried out by Sonia Hawkes in 1976, and Kent Archaeological Rescue Unit (KARU) in 1989. These revealed nineteen certain or probable penannular ring-ditches, each containing at least one grave, with a total of seventy-eight burials excavated. Suggests that the site can be divided into two phases; one belonging to the first half of the seventh century, and the other to the middle to second half of the seventh century. Combines information derived from grave assemblages with their orientation to suggest that certain burials can be attributed to one or the other of these phases. Notes that the later burials are characterised by a wider range of artefact types. Grave goods include Frankish and Byzantine imports. Preservation was generally poor, due to the soil conditions; however the age and/ or sex of sixty-two individuals was estimated. The cemetery is not completely excavated, and its date-range is unknown. Each grave, with its associated burial and grave goods is described. PP-B

147 - 179
Reports on excavation in 2006 of a 40m length of the bank and two trenches through the ditch. These revealed a V-shaped ditch with an earth and stone bank on the eastern side. Evidence for a marker bank and a well-laid cobble foundation are used to argue that the dyke was carefully planned. The construction and use are dated via optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) to the early-ninth century, with a possible episode of slighting in the mid-ninth century, and deliberate infilling associated with fourteenth-century ploughing. It is suggested that these dates indicated a construction during the reigns of Cenwulf and Ceolwulf (AD 796-823), or that of Wiglaf during the 830s.
The Middle and Late Anglo-Saxon defences of western Mercian towns
Steven Bassett
180 - 239
Re-examines published and unpublished archaeological evidence for defences at Hereford, Tamworth, Winchcombe, and Worcester. Concludes that the first three can be regarded as being of late ninth- to early-tenth-century date, but that those at Worcester may need reappraisal. Also concludes that the earlier defences sealed beneath them were more substantial than previously presumed, and that these probably dated to the eighth or very early ninth centuries.
The significance of Old English burh in Anglo-Saxon England
Simon Draper
240 - 253
Uses archaeological and documentary evidence to argue that the underlying root meaning has a basic association with ditched enclosures. In particular suggests a link between some Old English burh place-names and enclosures surrounding high-status settlements of Middle and Late Saxon date.
The distribution of the 'Winchester' style in Late Saxon England; metalwork finds from the Danelaw
Jane F Kershaw
254 - 269
Re-evaluates the style's distribution and significance using new finds, largely recovered through metal-detecting. Argues that the style permeated further north and east than has been thought. Notes that the style appears on an array of secular artefacts of varying quality, rather than being restricted to ecclesiastical items as had been previously believed. Presents evidence for the production of the style within the Scandinavian area of settlement, and relates its appearance and use to broader questions of social and cultural identity.
Warriors, heroes and companions; negotiating masculinity in Viking-Age England
Dawn M Hadley
270 - 284
Examines the gendered dimension of the funerary record of the Scandinavians in England in the ninth and tenth centuries, and suggests that the emphasis on masculine display in both the burial and the sculptural record is not merely a quirk of survival, but rather that it has much to reveal about the negotiation of lordship in the context of conquest and settlement.
