Abstract: |
Some fifty graves from part of a cemetery were excavated in 1959 and 1974; they date to late 5/early 6th to 7th century. Loose groupings of mixed age, sex, and status suggest households; some rich females compare with the wealthiest southern counterparts, but male graves are remarkable chiefly for the relative lack of weapons and gravegoods. One rich female had an older woman buried, apparently alive, above her. Glass beads are given particular attention and analysis, as are grave rituals and grave good distributions. |
