Middle Saxon London

"This publication presents new evidence of fundamental importance to understanding the Middle Saxon settlement of Lundenwic, a flourishing centre for trade and manufacture from the 7th to 9th centuries. The 1996 redevelopment of the Royal Opera House, in Covent Garden, included the largest excavation yet undertaken in Lundenwic, providing a wealth of information about the settlement, its inhabitants and their occupations and daily lives."--BOOK JACKET.
