Description
Bamburgh is an internationally important Anglian royal centre located on the Northumbrian coast. This volume is the full publication of the sixth- to eighth-century burials excavated between 1999 and 2007 in the Bowl Hole cemetery, which lay in the sand dunes below the present castle site. Containing a detailed and fully illustrated grave catalogue, it sets the excavation results into the context of this royal stronghold. It integrates archaeological, osteological and isotopic data into a comprehensive account that compares and contrasts the Bamburgh data with other Early Medieval cemetery sites in England. This is one of the largest cemeteries with extensive osteological evidence to have been excavated north of the River Tyne, and the comprehensive isotopic analysis adds further detail to the interpretation of the cemetery as one primarily serving the working population of the royal site.
