The Anglo-Saxon cemetery at Blacknall Field, Pewsey, Wiltshire - F. K Annable

This meticulously researched monograph was commenced by Ken
Annable who directed the excavation of the early pre-Christian
Saxon cemetery in the Vale of Pewsey between 1969 and 1976.
Following Annable's death the work was taken up by Bruce Eagles
with the support of an international team of twenty-two
specialists, many of them renowned in their fields. The 104
graves of the Blacknall Field cemetery contained a wealth of high
quality and remarkable grave goods, including swords, spears,
shields, a remarkably wide range of brooches, beads, neck rings,
dress pins, knives and pottery.
These artefacts and the human
remains are described and discussed along with the social
structure of the community and placed in their wider European
context.
