This thought-provoking volume presents the results of the archaeological
investigation of a large site in Lundenwic. A fragmentary sequence
nevertheless includes possible Early Saxon activity, 7th- and
8th-century settlement features including a cookshop, a workshop for
non-ferrous metalworking and debris from a smithy, and the latest
radiocarbon-dated inhumation in Lundenwic (cal AD 720-950). These
excavations have made important contributions to our understanding of
Lundenwic, which has been enhanced by the unprecedented level of organic
preservation at the site. The resulting survival of Saxon footwear,
timber objects and uncharred botanical remains adds unusual detail to
this publication.
