Were early medieval burial objects the personal property of the person who had died? This book looks at the case study of brooches to critically examine this question. The key component is an empirical study on the potential correlation between the use of brooches and the ages at which their wearers died. The insights gained in the study are joined by an analysis of wear factors and a compilation of theoretical modalities of purchase.
