About Anglo-Saxon Studies in Archaeology and History, Volume 14: Early Medieval Mortuary Practices

Volume 14 of the Anglo-Saxon Studies in Archaeology and History series is dedicated to the archaeology of early medieval death, burial and commemoration. Incorporating studies focusing upon Anglo-Saxon England as well as research encompassing western Britain, Continental Europe and Scandinavia, this volume originated as the proceedings of a two-day conference held at the University of Exeter in February 2004. It comprises of an Introduction that outlines the key debates and new approaches in early medieval mortuary archaeology followed by eighteen innovative research papers offering new interpretations of the material culture, monuments and landscape context of early medieval mortuary practices. Papers contribute to a variety of ongoing debates including the study of ethnicity, religion, ideology and social memory from burial evidence. The volume also contains two cemetery reports of early Anglo-Saxon cemeteries from Cambridgeshire.Table of ContentsIntroduction ( Howard Williams )I: New Perspectives in Early Medieval Mortuary PracticesEthnicity, ‘Race’ and Migration in Mortuary Archaeology: An Attempt at a Short Answer ( Heinrich Harke )Situational Ethnicity and Nested Identities: New Approaches to an Old Problem ( Susanne E Hakenbeck )Charting Conversion: Burial as a Barometer of Belief?
