This volume is the second to be published on the excavations undertaken by the Oxford Archaeological Unit at Butler's Field, Lechlade in 1985. The project was initially conceived as a small element in a larger project to investigate the prehistoric and Roman landscape in the Lechlade-Fairford area and the discovery of a substantial Anglo-Saxon cemetery was unexpected. Volume 1, published in 1998, discussed the prehistoric and Roman activity and provided a summary of the Anglo-Saxon archaeology. Volume 2 is designed to complement volume 1 and presents the specialist reports on the Anglo-Saxon artefacts and related environmental material, the technical analyses and an overall discussion of the cemetery.
