Daily Life in Anglo-Saxon England examines and recreates many of
the details of ordinary lives in early medieval England between the
5th and 11th centuries, exploring what we know as well as the
surprising gaps in our knowledge. Daily Life in Anglo-Saxon England
covers daily life in England from the 5th through the 11th
centuries. These six centuries saw significant social, cultural,
religious, and ethnic upheavals, including the introduction of
Christianity, the creation of towns, the Viking invasions, the
invention of "Englishness," and the Norman Conquest. In the last 10
years, there have been significant new archaeological discoveries,
major advances in scientific archaeology, and new ways of thinking
about the past, meaning it is now possible to say much more about
everyday life during this time period than ever before. Drawing on
a combination of archaeological and textual evidence, including the
latest scientific findings from DNA and stable isotope analysis,
this book looks at the life course of the early medieval English
from the cradle to the grave, as well as how daily lives changed
over these centuries. Topics covered include maintenance
activities, education, play, commerce, trade, manufacturing,
fashion, travel, migration, warfare, health, and medicine. Takes an
interdisciplinary approach, using archaeological and textual
sources Supports the text with references to key sites, artifacts,
