Description
| Summary: | A study of mortuary practices in East Yorkshire from the fifth to the late seventh century BC. The author uses all the available evidence, from well-recorded modern excavations to briefly recorded nineteenth century finds. He believes that exploring the variation in burial rites can tell us more about this society than ' trying to reduce the rite to a single homogeneous entity ...until the advent of Christianity brings a new rite '. The book includes a useful chapter on ' The Anglo-Saxon Myth and the Development of Anglo-Saxon Archaeology '.
