Grave-mounds and Their Contents / A Manual of Archæology, as Exemplified in the Burials of the Celtic, the Romano-British, and the Anglo-Saxon Periods

This manual surveys burial mounds from the Celtic, Romano-British, and Anglo-Saxon periods, offering a practical, non-technical account of their forms, regional distribution, and construction. It examines modes of interment including inhumation and cremation, urns, stone cists and chambers, cromlechs and stone circles, and related funerary features; catalogues grave goods such as pottery, stone and metal implements, ornaments, and beads; and outlines classification schemes and field observations. Richly illustrated, the work emphasizes comparative description and practical guidance for identifying and interpreting tumuli and their archaeological contents.
