Cloth and clothing in early Anglo-Saxon England, AD 450-700
"How do you reconstruct dress for a place and time when there are no pictorial sources and no surviving garments? This volume draws together a range of archaeological and historical material to show how clothing was made in the Early Anglo-Saxon period." "It reveals cloth production as an integral part of most women's lives and, by means of a new protocol for the interpretation of costume in burials, it uncovers regional, social and gender differences in clothing and its accessories."--BOOK JACKET
