Assignment

This week the assignment concerns the archaeology of the Anglo Saxon period in the East Midlands. Choose at least one of the county-based essays below and read to get a flavour of the period in that county.

• Lincolnshire
• Derbyshire
• Nottinghamshire
• Leicestershire

You will want to make some notes on the themes of evidence for settlement, burial and the broad changes that take place over the period (notionally c400-c850 AD).  We'll spend some time considering these themes in the session on Wednesday 12th February.

You might also want to look at Chapter 7 of the East Midlands Research Framework, the Anglo-Saxon Period, by the late Alan Vince, to get an overall flavour of the period in the East Midlands.
