  • The Archaeology of... Anglo-Saxon Cemeteries

    In the first episode of the series Jim and Brenna are joined by Prof Duncan Sayer to discuss the Archaeology of... Anglo-Saxon Cemeteries. 


    Duncan explains why Brenna should care about Anglo-Saxon burials and how she might even get her own chair at a funeral. Jim gets excited about modifying Anglo-Saxon swords and we delve into the detail of Oakington early Anglo-Saxon (6th-7th Century AD) cemetery to explore how they were a community affair. 


    The Archaeology of.. is produced by the ⁠Archaeology team⁠ from the University of Lancashire. It is presented by Drs James Morris and Brenna Hassett. Filming and editing by Mariusz Kuczaj.


    Duncan's current excavation in Kent features on 2026 Digging for Britain. Those in the UK can view it at ⁠this link⁠ S3:EP3 from 13min23sec
