| Research
Interests and Projects Specialist in the archaeology, literature and languages of medieval northern Europe. Principal individual research work is devoted to the integrated (‘interdisciplinary’) study of archaeology, the history of language, and literature. Books include The Scandinavian Character of Anglian England in the pre-Viking Period, Clasps : Hektespenner : Agraffen, The Fabliau in English, A New Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Great Square-Headed Brooches, The Anglo-Saxon Cemetery at Edix Hill (Barrington A), Cambridgeshire (with Tim Malim), and Voices in the Past: English Literature and Archaeology. Currently working on a major and interdisciplinary cultural history of Anglo-Saxon England, to be published by Blackwell as The Anglo-Saxons: Life and Culture. This is intended to provide a substantial and comprehensive discussion of life and conditions in the period from the Anglo-Saxon settlements to the Norman Conquest, with an emphasis on the context in which history was made rather than the historical events themselves. A concurrent and complementary research project is Anglo-Saxon England c.580–720: the Chronological Basis, a programme involving the review of artefact typology and grave assemblages from what has been known as the ‘Final Phase’ of Anglo-Saxon furnished burial, the seriation of finds using correspondence analysis, and high-precision radiocarbon dating of selected samples with further refinement of the dates using Bayesian statistics. This project is based at the Queen’s University, Belfast, and in Cardiff.
