. The Intellectual observer. immediately in the district of the Anglo-Saxon ceme-teries which have produced so many of these East Anglianurns, proves further that these urns belong to a period followingimmediately upon the close of what we call the Roman sepulchral vases found in what we may consider as thedistrict of the middle Angles, which included ofDerby, Nottingham, and Leicester, vary but slightly from theEast Anglian burial urns. An example of them is given inFig. 2 of our group of Anglo-Saxon pottery, No. I. It wasfound at Chestersovers, in Warwickshire, and was accom-panied with an iron sword, a spear head, and other articles ofAnglo-Saxon character, of which there could be no doubt, or,indeed, of the other remains found in the same cemetery. It isright to remark that, while choosing the burial urns as therepresentative of Anglo-Saxon pottery, I do so because theygive us the most extensive and therefore the surest means ofcomparison; but I do not mean this to imply that there are.
