Reviews
A most welcome development for Anglo-Saxon studies. * YEAR'S WORK IN ENGLISH STUDIES *
Provides some useful papers emphasising that coinage should be of interest to many archaeologists, and is informative to researchers in various fields, not just those with interests in economics. * MEDIEVAL ARCHAEOLGY *
This book is announced as the first volume in a series devoted to current research on sceattas. In view of the potential of further findings on this large and complex coinage to illuminate the history of the transition of the North Sea region from a marginal fringe of the late Roman world to the center of new medieval civilizations, this is a welcome prospect. * THE MEDIEVAL REVIEW *
A 'one-stop shop' for new research. [...] A long-overdue update on the state of sceatta studies in the UK and Europe. * SPINK NUMISMATIC CIRCULAR *
Intended as the first of a series, and on the evidence presented here, this seems a very worthwhile endeavour. * BRITISH ARCHAEOLOGY *
This discussion and reference work will be of great interest to anyone who is deeply into sceattas. * THE SEARCHER, *
