- The Ancient Ways of Wessex is a longer-form output demonstrating sustained research effort. This 256-page book draws on a vast body of primary source analysis, translation and field work undertaken to elucidate the location of over two and a half thousand Old English boundary marks recorded in eighth- to tenth- century Anglo-Saxon charters. It addresses a range of complex themes relating to the historiography of the period and place, as well as broader debates about the role communications played in the socio-political and cultural development of past societies.
