The excavation of the cemetery at Finglesham in east Kent was a milestone in Anglo-Saxon archaeology, as one of the first cemeteries of this period to be excavated in its entirety. The present report covers the 216 inhumation graves dating from the 6th to 8th centuries excavated by Sonia Hawkes between 1959 and 1967. The volume comprises an introduction, a fully illustrated grave inventory, a report on the human skeletal remains and a number of specialists' reports.

Between 1956 and 1960 Sonia Hawkes excavated an Early Iron Age settlement at Longbridge Deverill Cow Down, Wiltshire, following the discovery by J.K. St. Joseph's aerial photographic survey of a complex of three enclosures on the site. The most significant discovery was evidence for four roundhouses dating to the 8th-6th centuries BC, three of comparable size to those excavated at Pimperne, Little Woodbury and Winklebury. One of the roundhouses had burnt down, preserving in situ a significant assemblage of artefacts, particularly pottery. A field survey of the site and surrounding area was carried out during the excavation by RCHM and completed in the 1980s by David McOmish.
