There has long been controversy about the nature and pace of the
transformation from Roman Britain to Saxon England. Some scholars
argue that there were few instances of major conflict and that the
transition took place relatively peacefully over a long period of
time. Others argue that the Romano-Britains and the early
Anglo-Saxon invaders lived side by side for a century or more with
little contact. This book, based largely on archaeological
evidence, presents an interpretive history of the transition period
and demonstrates how Roman Britain evolved into Anglo-Saxon England
over the fourth and fifth centuries. The emphasis is on the
archaeological evidence because this is the physical and material
legacy of man's activities and, unlike the scanty written sources,
is not a reflection of political events. The author argues that
much of the past uncertainty about this crucial period stems from
the sharply conflicting interpretations of the chronicles.
