骨头和鹿角梳子是不列颠群岛从罗马晚期到中世纪遗址中最常见的人工制品之一。然而，它们的潜力仍有待发挥。在斯堪的纳维亚半岛，梳子已经被用来了解“城市”工艺和工业的性质，但类似的工作尚未在不列颠群岛完成。这可能是因为个别网站的大集合的缺乏，这篇论文希望通过从整个北方英格兰和苏格兰的大量数据的合成来解决这个问题。·t。此外，虽然已经写了很多关于梳子在理解贸易和“工业”方面的潜力，但它们作为有意义的物品的作用尚未得到充分探讨。梳子的重要性似乎超出了其功能用途，它们可能是作为可见的服饰配件佩戴的，因此它们在交流中发挥了重要作用。期间C。公元700年和1400年是一个相当大的政治，文化和经济变革，创造了一个环境，其中梳子可能已被用于积极建设，展示和维护身份。因此，在原材料，形式，装饰，制造方法，制造质量和使用磨损的图案是文化上重要的。新方法的应用（包括鹿角梳子的鉴定到物种水平），以及对英国北方各地梳子的详细调查，阐明了一些问题，包括地区性在社会认同中的重要性，不列颠群岛和斯堪的纳维亚之间的接触的年表和性质，以及中世纪时期不断变化的政治和文化环境。
Bone and antler hair combs are one of the most frequently recovered classes of artefact from late Roman to medieval sites in the British Isles. Nonetheless, their potential remains to be fulfilled. In Scandinavia, combs have been used to understand the nature of 'urban' craft and industry, but similar work has yet to be accomplished in the British Isles. This may be because of a paucity of large collections for individual sites, and this thesis hopes to address this problem through the synthesis of a large body of data from across northern England and Scotland. ·t. Moreover, while much has been written on the potential of combs in the understanding of trade and 'industry', their role as meaningful objects has not yet been fully explored. Combs appear to have held a significance beyond that related to their functional use, and they may have been worn as visible dress accessories, such that they had an important role in communication. The period between c. AD 700 and 1400 was one of considerable political, cultural, and economic change, creating a context in which combs may have been used in the active construction, display, and maintenance of identity. Thus, patterning in raw materials, form, ornament, manufacturing methods, quality of manufacture, and use wear are culturally important. The application of new methods (including the identification of antler combs to species level), and the detailed survey of combs from across northern Britain thus elucidates a number of issues, including the importance of regionality in social identity through time, the chronology and nature of contact between the British Isles and Scandinavia, and the changing political and cultural environment of the medieval period.
