Abstract: |
Report on the excavation of an Early Anglo-Saxon cemetery at Worthy Park, Kingsworthy in Hampshire. The excavations uncovered ninety-four inhumation graves and forty-six cremations, but many others remained inaccessible to the excavators and the cemetery may have contained twice this number of burials in total. The cemetery was excavated in 1961--62 by Sonia Chadwick Hawkes, but her report remained unpublished at the time of her death in 1999. The editors have drawn together all the chapters and drawings left substantially complete by Mrs Hawkes, including an introduction to the site, a detailed catalogue of burials, a report on the human bone, a gazetteer of fifth- to seventh-century Anglo-Saxon sites in Hampshire, and a small number of specialist reports covering the inhumations and cremations; structural features associated with the graves; textile remains; analysis of copper alloy and silver objects from the inhumations; and mineral preserved organic material associated with metalwork. Includes French and German summaries. |
