Life and Economy at Early Medieval Flixborough, c. AD 600-1000

This is an essential text for students of material culture and society in early medieval England, and a key element in the exemplary analysis and publication of this major site.' ~Christopher Scull, British Archaeology, Sept/Oct 2010

The volumes under review here present unparalleled window on the workings and character of an early medieval estate centre with a degree of resolution only normally encountered in urban archaeology. As principal author and coordinator of the Flixborough project, Chris Loveluck has achieved a substantial task in bringing high-definition archaeology and a new type-site to the field of early medieval studies following two previous detailed interim reports. The Flixborough publication will serve as a benchmark for years to come.' ~Andrew Reynolds, Medieval Archaeology, Vol. 54, November 2010
