Oxbow says: Excavated in the 1970s, the sites of Morning Thorpe, Bergh Apton and Spong Hill in Norfolk and Westgarth Gardens in Suffolk, have only previously been published as catalogues. This volume aims to discuss the evidence from these four cemeteries in more general terms to gain insights into Anglo-Saxon social structure. Containing approximately five hundred inhumations, dating from the mid-5th to 7th century, the burials contain a wealth of artefacts which are used to establish a chronology and trace changes in material culture and burial practice over time. Issues of weapon and dress accessory deposition, as well as gender and status, are discussed as the authors examine how wealth and status differences may have manifested themselves among the communities that were buried in these cemeteries.
