Abstract:

This monograph presents a cemetery of over 500 burials of the 3rd to 8th centuries AD, and is key evidence for the population of Somerset in the period of transition from Roman to Anglo-Saxon times. A wide range of artefacts, including pottery, glass and metalwork, is representative of the Roman, western British and Anglo-Saxon elements in the cultural mix of the burying population. There are major sections on the character and development of the cemetery and on the human biology
