Man, that's exciting. Imagine finding that 2800-yr-old stuff, in that condition, in your garden. What a time capsule! I really am fascinated with the history of Britain, and not just because it's part of our American heritage (which it is).
Good post. Articles like this are one of the reasons FR is so much fun.

Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on, off, or alter the "Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list --

I would be thrilled if I ever ran across such artifacts. Just to look at them and know the were ancient what a rush that would be.
Thanks for the post. I wonder why it is so rare to find stuff from two different ages? Obviously stone is easier to find and make stuff with than bronze. Companies today still use legacy systems from decades ago, in computer terms, that's an age. I'd think they'd use what they had when they had it. Anyone know why it's so rare?
