Subtitled The archaeology of Middle Saxon Lincolnshire and Hampshire compared’, this study assesses and compares the historical and archaeological record of these two counties from the conversion of England in c. 650 to Alfred’s reign in 870. One of the author’s principal aims is to quantify the involvement of the church in the Middle Saxon economy during this time of fundamental religious, political and social change by examining economic centres, industries and trade. This study makes use of a large collection of metal detector finds, largely neglected until now, which have enabled Ulmschneider to identify new sites. Includes gazetteers of sites in Lincolnshire and Hampshire.
