Collingbourne Ducis And Its Place In Early Anglo-Saxon Wiltshire

With 120 interments it is presently the largest sample of early Anglo-Saxon burials from the county and has provided archaeologists with a range of grave goods and other ritual practices spanning more than 200 yrs from the mid 5th to later 7th century. In this talk the significance of the site will be assessed by comparing it against contemporary cemeteries in Wiltshire and through the consideration of topics such as the cultural identity and social structure of the community buried at Collingbourne Ducis. A lecture in the Museum's Archaeology Lecture Series, which take place on the second Tuesday of the months September to March inclusive.
