Early medieval settlements: the archaeology of rural communities in North-West...
John Blair (Ed.)
Helena Hamerow (Ed.)
The study offers an overview and synthesis of the growing body of evidence for early medieval settlements in north-west Europe, as well as a consideration of the implications of this evidence for Anglo-Saxon England. Topics covered include archaeological approaches and frameworks; houses and households; the archaeology of buildings; settlement structure and social space; land and power -- settlements in their territorial context; the forces of production -- crop and animal husbandry; and rural centres, trade, and non-agrarian production.

The iconography of Early Anglo-Saxon coinage: sixth to eighth centuries
John Blair (Ed.)
Helena Hamerow (Ed.)
An art-historical appraisal of Anglo-Saxon coinage, from its inception in the late sixth century to Offa's second reform of the penny c.792. Outside numismatic circles, this material has largely been ignored because of its complexity, yet artistically this is the most vibrant period of English coinage, with die-cutters showing flair and innovation and employing hundreds of different designs in their work. By analysing the iconography of the early coinage, this book intends to introduce its rich legacy to a wide audience.The author divides the designs of the coins into four main categories: busts (including attributes and drapery), human figures, animals and geometrical patterns, presenting prototypes, sources of the repertoire and parallels with contemporary visual arts for each motif. The comparisons demonstrate the central role of coins in the eclectic visual culture of the time, with the advantages of official sanctioning and wide circulation to support and diffuse new ideas and images. The sources of the motifs clarify the relationship between the many designs of the complex Secondary phase (c.710-50).
