Alice Roberts, Buried: An Alternative History of the First Millennium in Britain

 What happened in these islands between the Romans leaving and the emergence of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms is a fascinating period, but one with very little we know and lots of conjecture. This was a very interesting book looking at evidence from graves to try and understand more - or at least dispel some of the myths. Quite a chatty style, with lots of talk about the writer's own experiences, family and friends. Not sure about that, was all a bit chummy sometimes.
