Abstract
The middle years of the seventh century witnessed several important changes and events in the Anglo-Saxon scene: firstly, the gradual stages of the conversion to Christianity; secondly, the resultant, but by no means uniformly final, abandonment of pagan burial rites, whether by cremation or interment; thirdly, the deposition of the Sutton Hoo ship; and fourthly, the issue of what Dr. Hodgkin has described as that interesting and important puzzle, the early assessment of population contained in the Tribal Hidage. It would be strange if archaeology were unable to cast some light upon the interaction of the first three, and it is possible, even probable, that it can contribute some help to the interpretation of the fourth.
