The Saxon and Mediaeval Palaces at Cheddar: Excavations 1960-1962 (Bar British Series) (in English)
Synopsis "The Saxon and Mediaeval Palaces at Cheddar: Excavations 1960-1962 (Bar British Series) (in English)"
This re-publication of The Saxon and Medieval Palaces at Cheddar has been prompted by the unavailability of the original, published over a quarter of a century ago. Unlike much historical scholarship, the archaeological report on a site is primary data and therefore needs itself to be read before turning to re-interpretations. It is also appropriate in the context of the recent re-evaluation of the British and Saxon palace of Yeavering, after a similar interval since publication. In the intervening years since publication, This volume has frequently been cited and reviewed, not least as the most extensively-excavated of the royal complexes of the pre-Conquest period.Written by Philip Rahtz, edited by S.M.
