Item description from seller

Cloth, small 8vo, 19 cm, xiii, 135 pp. From the blurb: "In the period A.D. 400-1100, perhaps more than in any other, it is necessary to bring together the results of historical, archaeological and place-name studies. Each provides information that is either badly preserved or not preserved at all in the other two, but it is not always realized how great are the difficulties involved in co-ordination and integration. Archaeological evidence is essentially material, and it represents directly practical skills, physical sequences, and sometimes aesthetic interests. Place-name evidence usually comes to the philologist indirectly as a scribe's conception of how certain sounds may be represented in writing, but from it may be drawn safe conclusions concerning the language and speech habits of a people. Historical evidence, itself falling into several categories, is different from both. The co-ordination of different kinds of evidence requires a familiarity with the nature and limitations of each, and a critical but sympathetic appreciation of the difficulties encountered in its collection and interpretation. This book is addressed primarily to students, especially to students at the beginning of their studies, who may find it convenient to have in their hands a book which draws attention to some of the problems they are likely to meet and may provide a basis for discussion."
