The Early Anglo-Saxon Period is characterized archaeologically by the regular deposition of artefacts in human graves in England. The scope for dating these objects and graves has long been studied, but it has typically proved easier to identify and enumerate the chronological problems of the material than to solve them. Studying the evidence anew using a co-ordinated suite of dating techniques, both traditional and new, Anglo-Saxon Graves and Grave Goods of the 6th and 7th Centuries AD seeks to address many of these issues.
