The discovery of a woman, buried between 630 and 670 AD, has changed archaeologists’ notions of the period
Archaeologists don’t often bounce with excitement, but the Museum of London Archeology team could hardly contain themselves on Tuesday as they unveiled an “exhilarating” discovery made on the last day of an otherwise barren dig in the spring.
“This is the most significant early medieval female burial ever discovered in Britain,” said the leader of the dig, Levente Bence Balázs, almost skipping with elation. “It is an archaeologist’s dream to find something like this.”
