AYLESHAM, ENGLAND—Archaeologists digging ahead of a housing construction project in Kent have unearthed an unusually rich array of artifacts, as well as an Anglo-Saxon skeleton. Among the objects discovered were Bronze Age cremation vessels, as well as Roman domestic artifacts. “The Bronze Age urns are rare, exotic, and wonderful and the ditches were full of very nice Roman domestic property so there was obviously a settlement nearby,” SWAT Archaeology’s Paul Wilkinson told The Dover Express. To read about a royal Anglo-Saxon site discovered in the area, see “The Kings of Kent.”
