Inhaltsangabe
An up-to-date and accessible account of death and burial in Anglo-Saxon England. The book offers insights into the society and customs of the Anglo-Saxons and provides clues about their way of life and their understanding of the world. Through a detailed study of cemeteries, gravegoods and human remains, the author seeks to offer a review of this emotive subject. Samantha Lucy looks first at the background to the evidence and at prehistoric and Roman traditions. She then considers the discovery and excavation of Anglo-Saxon cemeteries and at the rites and practices of death, which included cremation and burial. She also describes what we can learn from the layout and siting of the cemeteries themselves, and demonstrates that the surviving evidence - in particular changes in costume and gravegoods - can be used to show how Anglo-Saxon customs of burial developed over 400 years.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 2000 Sutton hardcover edition. Light reading wear else very good condition. From the dustjacket: THE Anglo-Saxon Way of Death offers an up-to-date and accessible account of death and burial in pre-conquest England. The book gives fascinating insights into the society and customs of the Anglo-Saxons and provides us with intriguing clues about their way of life and their understanding of the world. Through a detailed study of cemeteries, grave-goods and human remains, the author provides a comprehensive, and readable, review of this emotive subject. Dr Lucy looks first at the background to the evidence and at Roman traditions, going on to consider the discovery and excavation of Anglo-Saxon cemeteries and the rites and practices of death, which included cremation and burial. She also describes what we can learn from the layout and siting of the cemeteries themselves, and demonstrates that the surviving evidence - in particular changes in costume and grave-goods - can be used to show how Anglo-Saxon customs of burial developed over four hundred years. This important book looks at the way in which the wide variety of material evidence that has now been uncovered can best be interpreted. What can it teach us about ethnicity, tribal identities, gender, status, health and warfare? It considers, too, how modern thinking about Anglo-Saxon society has been influenced by rapid progress in this key area of archaeology. No research in the last fifty years has shed more light on our understanding of the history of England in the years after the departure of the Romans than has burial archaeology and this is the perfect overview of that work. It will find a keen market among readers who have a professional interest in the Anglo-Saxon period or a general curiosity about death and burial in the distant past.
