A valuable interim report on the 1983-92 excavation... most exciting may be the parallels suggesed from Merovingian and Scandinavian Europe. A major contribution to the Sutton Hoo literature. * CHOICE *
A major reassessment of the political and economic context of this burial ground-a very important book. * MEDIEVAL ARCHAEOLOGY *
