Anglo-Saxon cemetery discovered

[Still Waters]

Archaeologists in Suffolk, England, have discovered an Anglo-Saxon cemetery containing more than 200 graves dating back to the seventh century, reports BBC News.

Excavations took place in the town of Oulton ahead of construction of a new housing development, notes Jasper King for the Lowestoft Journal. The burial site, which includes the remains of men, women, children and infants, testifies to the existence of a small farming community.

The site is contemporaneous with and located near Sutton Hoo, a famous royal burial ground that rewrote historians’ understanding of the supposed “Dark Ages” with its trove of sophisticated treasures, according to the National Trust.

I've been to Oulton Broad!  In fact, I was a passenger in a car accident there!

Not much of a claim to fame, but.....

It's strange to see silhouettes of the dead. It reminds me of the people vaporised in Hiroshima.
