Reviews
‘This publication is rich in a diverse range of material: for archaeologists it offers a touchstone for interpretations of similar sites and practices; for Church historians it opens up a new area to be taken account of; and numismatists will recognise the benefits to be derived from analysis of the coin evidence. A comprehensive index and full bibliography greatly facilitate interrogation of the volume’ – Medieval Archaeology, Volume 67:1
