An archaeology of trade in Middle Saxon England (Paperback)

This study of the role of trade in the economy of Saxon England moves the emphasis towards regional trade, focusing on eastern England between 650 and 900 AD. Drawing on archaeological evidence, the thesis aims to uncover the organisation of trade in eastern England, to identify the role of church, royalty and rural communities in regional trade and to search for the most effective archaeological methods for assessing the nature and extent of trade. Following detailed descriptions of the archaeological data and objects which are indicative of trade, primarily in Yorkshire and Kent, which are indicative of trade John Naylor presents a synthetic and comparative discussion of the trade in staples and luxuries in these two counties. He considers trade networks, the existence and location of emporia, administration and the use of coinage.
