Inhaltsangabe

In the 25 years since the Sedgeford Historical and Archaeological Research Project (SHARP) began fieldwork in north-west Norfolk, Sedgeford has emerged as a major site for investigating the agricultural revolution of 'the long 8th century'. The period between c. AD 650 and 850 saw the consolidation of kingdoms, the rise of the Church, the creation of great estates, the transformation of agriculture, and the development of emporia, craftwork, and long-distance trade in prestige goods. These proceedings present the results of a day conference held in 2020 which reviewed the results of 25 years' work at Sedgeford in the context of new discoveries and changing ideas about the Middle Anglo-Saxon period in Norfolk, England as a whole and the wider contemporary world.
