Organic Material Associated with Metalwork from the Anglo-Saxon Cemetry at Edix Hill, Barrington, Cambridgeshire
Author(s): Jacqui Watson
Report on the organic material preserved by contact with metalwork from this late fifth to early seventh century cemetery. In many cases the organic material was well preserved where it was in contact with metalwork, and it has been possible to do an in-depth study of these objects. The finds included many weapon groups, in particular 12 sets of shield fittings, which have been examined in detail enabling some to be reconstructed. Containers of various kinds are also represented, such as purses, vessels, a copper alloy bound bucket and a casket.
