'A County divided: Why is there a north-south division in the distribution of ealry Anglo-Saxon wrist-clasps in Suffolk during the late fifth and sixth centuries CE?' (Undergraduate Dissertation at the University of Leicester)

Distribution patterns of early Anglo-Saxon wrist-clasps: The distribution of early Anglo-Saxon wrist-clasps within the county of Suffolk shows a very strong boundary within the county, with hardly any found south of teh modern A14. There are several questions that can be asked of this pattern. Does it represent a division between the 'Anglian' north and the 'Saxon' south? Can it be related to Iron Age tribal background? What happens to the boudary in the neighbouring counties of Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire? Are the most southerly wrist-clasps of the same types as those in the heartland of the distributions?'
