Analysis of the forms, manufacture, and uses of early Anglo-Saxon shields in England (5th-7th cs.). Computer-based typology of boss forms provides a chronological framework for the typological study of other fittings and for technological analysis. These data are combined with study of the use of the shield in combat and in burial practices to suggest that formal change was related to technological advance and change in fighting practices, and that the shield was used symbolically in social as well as military contexts.
