ABSTRACT
It has been necessary to conduct the seriation of the male and female sequences separately because of the very small degree of overlap in chronologically significant artefact-types between the two sets of grave-assemblages. As closely as possible, we follow the same techniques and procedures to explore the chronology of Anglo-Saxon female graves and the artefact assemblages which were buried in them as those employed for the analysis of the male graves described in Chapter 6. These involve typological study, correspondence analyses, radiocarbon dating and Bayesian modelling, conducted concurrently and interactively (see Fig. 2.1, and above, Section 3.2.3). The structure of this chapter is therefore also essentially the same as Chapter 6, although the importance of different elements perforce varies.
