Look at this lot. Broaches, clasps, wristbands, they’re all found in this Lincolnshire field by a metal detectorist, and they’re not only beautiful, they’re pretty rare, but that’s not all, all these came from the surface.

But the detectorist dug a hole and he found this which is actually an Anglo Saxon warrior and probably, just about make out these bones and this blob here is a shield boss.

Archaologists recon this is an important Anglo Saxon cemetery, but it’s now being ripped apart by ploughing. So Time Team have been sent in on a rescue mission.

We wanna find out how big this cemetery is, how old it is, and whether or not there are any other warriors buried here. As usual, we just got three days to do it, and judging by these finds, we could have our work cut out.
