| Abstract | While Anglo-Saxon burials have long been the subject of mortuary analysis, the largely unfurnished burials in later Anglo-Saxon periods have tended to be overlooked. Recent research has demonstrated that a wide variety of burial practices were used in the late Anglo-Saxon period. This session aims to bring together researchers working on later Anglo-Saxon burial to obtain a clearer understanding of the variety of burial practices and burial locations utilised during this period, the impact of the Church on burial and how burial and commemoration could be used to reflect the social identity of the deceased and/or their families. |
