This article deals with the univeral problem of chronological versus social change and discusses the methodological foundations and the scientific functions of chronological studies, exemplified by the Nordic Bronze Age, a classic example of the development of a chronological system. First the universal validity of the premises of typology and seriation are questioned. Secondly, there is a discussion of the chronological implications of the many possible relationships between the period of production, the period of use and the period of deposition of artefacts. Thirdly the foundations of chronological change is analysed and finally the place of chronological studies in the research process is discussed.

Recent years have seen a prodigious upsurge of interest and new research into all aspects of the fifth-and sixth-century gold Bracteates of Scandinavia, their iconography, their chronology, their technology and composition. In all this activity, we in England have tended to lag behind. It is thirty-five years since the late E. T. Leeds, in an important article entitled "Denmark and Early England 5 , provided us with anything like a comprehensive survey and discussion of Bracteate-finds in England. Shortly after, there appeared from Denmark a general Corpus of Scandinavian Bracteates, which included the English finds (MACKEPRANG 1952) and which, with all its limitations and faults, has enabled us to trace more handily than Leeds could, using the older literature, the die-links, stylistic affinities and regional groupings of the Scandinavian Bracteates which found their way to England. Subsequently, the most original contribution has been a useful study of gold and silver Bracteates, old and new, from sites north of the Thames mainly in Anglian England (ViERCK 1970 and Forthcoming), while for Kent there has been some intermittent discussion, by a small group of scholars j of the dating of the various graves which have yielded the
