Drawing upon recent advances in the archaeology of Anglo-Saxon elite residences, with a particular focus on ‘Great Hall Complexes’, this paper will explore how settlement perspectives can complement frameworks of interpretation usually applied to early medieval mortuary studies and architectural history. Such comparisons help to underline the 7th century as a highly innovative phase in the development of elite monumental strategies.
Followed by a summer party in the IoA Staff Common Room.
