  • The Early Medieval Period Andrew Reynolds
    The Early Medieval Period Andrew Reynolds Of the periods considered in this volume after the Mesolithic, the early middle ages remains the most difficult to identify in the archaeological record. Archaeology has revealed a few new but significant sites since the 1980s ahd the practice of metal detecting continues to augment the material record. While the data remain limited, scholarly thinking in early medieval archaeology has changed significantly since the mid to late 1980s and what is offered here is a narrative that reviews the significance of certain previously known sites, but which explores additional themes such as the chronology and nature of territorial organisation. This paper, therefore, is not intended as a comprehensive guide to the early medieval archaeology of the county, but rather as an attempt to place aspects of the known evidence in relation to new discoveries and in the light of current thinking at a national level. The archaeology of towns and recent work on ecclesiastical sites is only cursorily mentioned. The abbreviation ASC in the text refers to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (Swanton 2000). INTRODUCTION Gloucestershire was border country during the early middle ages.
