Archaeologists talk about their work in the field this summer
3: The Saxons are coming-but how?
The century after the Roman legions left Britain has left no reliable literary record.

What happened to the Romano-Britons?
SONIA HAWKES and NOEL MYRES describe recent advances in our knowledge of this dark period.
