Greetings all,
In
the news, more missing pieces of the 6th century Bromeswell Bucket, a
Byzantine bronze bucket found in the area of Sutton Hoo archaeological
site in England have been recovered:
This
decorated item from the Byzantine Empire dates from about a hundred
years before the Sutton Hoo ship was buried. Pieces of it had been
discovered in 1986 and put on display. It seems this bucket had been
highly prized (due to its art and far-away origins) and it had been
repaired at least two times in antiquity. The famous British
archaeological group "Time Team" had identified other possible remains
of the Bromeswell Bucket with ground radar and this season more of it
has been recovered, and this will all be covered in an upcoming "Time
Team" TV episode.
So, they've been able to cross this off their Bucket List... :)
