Anglo-Saxon Beads 400-700 AD is a lavishly illustrated guide to a fascinating archive of British archaeology. This beautiful and detailed book contains over 650 photographs and 250 illustrations in full colour and showcases the glorious beads and bead jewellery worn by women around 1500 years ago.

Excavations of cemeteries from the early Anglo-Saxon period of Britain have produced a particularly rich collection of artefacts thanks to the custom of that time of burying the dead with their personal possessions. Many of the women's graves contained glorious bead necklaces of glass, amber, gold, silver, amethyst and other treasured materials. British museums contain many thousands of these beads, often only a small part of which are on show to the general public. This book is the result of many years of research by the author into Anglo-Saxon beads and is a comprehensive guide to the types of beads, the techniques of making them, and the evidence of the beadmakers themselves and how they worked.
