About this listen

In the first episode of the series Jim and Brenna are joined by Prof Duncan Sayer to discuss the Archaeology of... Anglo-Saxon Cemeteries.


Duncan explains why Brenna should care about Anglo-Saxon burials and how she might even get her own chair at a funeral. Jim gets excited about modifying Anglo-Saxon swords and we delve into the detail of Oakington early Anglo-Saxon (6th-7th Century AD) cemetery to explore how they were a community affair.
