Are you talking exclusively about the period from the departure of the Romans to the Norman invasion or are you also including what happened since 1066?
I know you asked for a booklet but the BBC's Seven Ages of Britain is a good documentary series encompassing the entirety of English/British history. Also Starkey's Monarchy.

Well starting from stone age Britain up until the vikings, that's what's in it for this semester, we're starting next week so I just want to accumulate a few key points before diving in
Anglo-Saxon Chronicle?

If you want more on the specifics of Anglo Saxon archaeology, key excavations include Loveluck's dig at Flixborough and the fairly recent dig at Lyminge. Other important sites include Repton, Bamburgh, Yeavering andd obviously York, but you're probably aware of some of these.
In terms of early Saxon settlement evidence probably the best site is Mucking, you'd do well to have a look at some of the excavation reports if you have time.

Thanks a lot mate, pretty sure those recommendations will be so helpful

I've given mostly archaeological resources because the historical evidence for much of Anglo-Saxon England is pretty shoddy when it comes to detail. Paul Blinkhorn has a lot of articles about Saxon pottery online if you're needing some more info on Saxon material culture

Here are a couple of books on the Viking period which I used for my dissertation
Hadley, D: The Northern Danelaw, its Social Structure, c. 800-1100, London: Leicester University Press 2000
Hadley, D: The Vikings in England: Settlement, Society and Culture, Manchester University Press 2006
And here is a site report from Repton, but it's a bit out of date, some newer research is apparently contradictory but nothing from that is published yet so you can probably roll with it
