The Hidden Valley: Finding the Anglo-Saxons Kevin Leahy
Event details
The discovery of a group of four cemeteries dating from the fifth to eighth century has shed new light on the changes that took place during the early Anglo-Saxon period.
Archaeologist Kevin Leahy, a National Adviser for the British Museum's Portable Antiquities Scheme, discusses why this succession of cemeteries is remarkable in view of their location near the Humber estuary and a possible Humbrensian region.
