For centuries, archaeologists have excavated the soils of Britain
to uncover finds from the early medieval past. These finds have
been used to reconstruct the alleged communities, migration
patterns, and expressions of identity of coherent groups who can be
regarded as ethnic 'Anglo-Saxons'. Even in the modern day, when
social constructionism has been largely accepted by scholars, this
paradigm still persists. This book challenges the ethnic paradigm.
As the first historiographical study of approaches to ethnic
identity in modern 'Anglo-Saxon' archaeology, it reveals these
approaches to be incompatible with current scholarly understandings
of ethnicity. Drawing upon post-structuralist approaches to self
and community, it highlights the empirical difficulties the
archaeology of ethnicity in early medieval Britain faces, and
proposes steps toward an alternative understanding of the role
played by the communities of lowland Britain - both migrants from
across the North Sea and those already present - in transforming
the Roman world.
