Anglo-Saxon Cemetery Unearthed in Suffolk

Monday, November 17, 2014

EXNING, ENGLAND—Twenty-one skeletons have been recovered from 20 burials found in eastern England. The Anglo-Saxon burials also contained a spear, a glass bowl, gold-plated brooches, a cloak pin, and a dagger. “We were very lucky they had survived because they were less than a foot down and the land had been plowed very recently,” Andrew Peachey of Archaeological Solutions told The Cambridge News. Additional testing will attempt to determine the age and sex of the skeletons. The site is slated for development. To read more about Anglo-Saxons, see "The Kings of Kent."
