David Hinton approaches the archaeological material of the post-Roman period chronologically, emphasizing the changes that can be observed in the physical evidence and the reasons for them that can be suggested. A study of their houses and burial practices, pottery and clothes illustrates the constraints imposed by social customs and economic pressures on the people of this period.

Its unique insights into medieval England will make stimulating reading for all those with an interest in the Middle Ages.
