What is The Staffordshire Hoard: An Anglo-Saxon Treasure (Reports of the Research Committee of the Society of Antiquaries of London) about?
"In July 2009 the discovery of the Staffordshire Hoard by a metal-detectorist immediately captured the world's attention. Comprising almost 6kg of precious-metal objects, and found in a deliberately dismantled state, the Hoard remains the largest Anglo-Saxon treasure ever discovered. Work on conserving and researching the Hoard has revealed a wealth of information on the high culture of the ruling class of seventh-century England at a critical period of warfare and religious conversion. The Staffordshire Hoard: An Anglo-Saxon Treasure tells the story of the Hoard's discovery, its acquisition for the nation, and the six-year research project that pieced its fragments back together, identified its objects and explored their manufacture. Written by a team of specialists in Anglo-Saxon archaeology and history, and expert conservators with unparalleled access to the Hoard, the text is beautifully illustrated throughout with full-colour photographs, maps and explanatory drawings. Key chapters discuss the decoration and meaning of the Hoard's intricate ornament, the techniques of Anglo-Saxon craftsmen, the religious and historical background, and hoarding practice in Britain and Europe,
