This annual report on recent developments in Anglo-Saxon archaeology features articles on recent excavations in Kent, Shropeshire, Northern England and other regions. There is no connecting theme in the issue; topics include metalwork styles, military fortifications and the use of burial goods and practices to reveal the role of men in Viking-age society. All the reports are accompanied by clear photos, charts and maps which will be much appreciated by serious scholars in the field. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co.
