<p>Nearly one-quarter of the males in early Anglo-Saxon cemeteries were buried with a shield, yet shields have not received as much scholarly attention as the less common sword. In this volume Dickinson and Harke combine their individual researches to provide a full discussion of the early Anglo-Saxon shield. It includes a typological framework and addresses the issues of dating and distribution, technology and function, and the place of the shield in Anglo-Saxon burial ritual.</p>
