This book surveys current archaeological and historical thinking
about the dimly understood characteristics of daily life in Great
Britain during the fifth and sixth centuries. Arthurian legends are
immensely popular and well known despite the lack of reliable
documentation about this time period in Britain. As a result,
historians depend upon archaeologists to accurately describe life
during these two centuries of turmoil when Britons suffered
displacement by Germanic immigrants. Daily Life in Arthurian
Britain examines cultural change in Britain through the fifth and
sixth centuries-anachronistically known as The Dark Ages-with a
focus on the fate of Romano-British culture, demographic change in
the northern and western border lands, and the impact of the
Germanic immigrants later known as the Anglo-Saxons. The book
coalesces many threads of current knowledge and opinion from
leading historians and archaeologists, describing household
composition, rural and urban organization, food production,
architecture, fashion, trades and occupations, social classes,
education, political organization, warfare, and religion in
Arthurian times. The few available documentary sources are analyzed
for the cultural and historical value of their information.
Presents maps and illustrations of Britain during the relevant time
periods Includes a bibliography of major print and quality internet
resources accessible to the public Provides an index of key
concepts, sites, historic persons, events, and materials Contains
an appendix on the nature of archaeological evidence
