ORGANIC MATERIAL ASSOCIATED WITH METALWORK FROM THE ANGLO-SAXON CEMETERY AT BOSS HALL, IPSWICH
Author(s): Jacqui Watson
Report on the organic material preserved by contact with metalwork from this 6th to early 7th century cemetery. The different organic materials were preserved in a highly variable condition, wood and textiles were well preserved whereas leather was less well defined, bone and antler were non-existant except where directly in contact with corroded iron. The six sets of shield fittings had sufficient organic material preserved on them to provide valuable information on their original construction.
