Organic Material Associated with Metalwork from the Early Anglo-Saxon Cemetery at Blacknall Field, Pewsey, Wiltshire
Author(s): E Crowfoot, Glynis Edwards, Jacqui Watson
This report covers the conservation and identification of organic materials preserved on the metalwork from this late fifth to middle sixth century Anglo-Saxon cemetery. As the cemetery was excavated in 1970, and the conservation undertaken by many indivduals over the following five years, this report is in fact a compilation of the records made at the time, student research projects and other publications, supplemented by more recent analysis and discussion of these combined results for the full publication of the site. The main objects that are covered include weapons and various personal items such as knives and jewellery, as well as the reconstruction of some simple purses.
