This is an electronic version of an article published in the Norwegian Archaeological Review. © 2014 Taylor & Francis; Norwegian Archaeological Review is available online at http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00293652.2014.909881.This massive volume (slightly less than 2.5 kg) on Anglo-Saxon chronology, edited by John Hines and Alex Bayliss, is the result of a multi-disciplinary and collaborative project begun in 1997. Prior to the project no comprehensive chronological framework for this period existed. The following quote might express a guiding premise: ‘ Chronological position, associations and sequencing are therefore fundamental to serious understanding of any of the major historical questions and topics for study ’ (p. 560, with references)
