Anglo-Saxon hoard found! This is just so very awesome. Look at the craftmanship (related article here).
And the BBC has a cool site showing what the particular pieces may be from a warrior's armor.
Just...the details and the metalwork are just amlkdlmk; *_____* And the questions this discovery raises omggg you guys I just want to do this for a living. Brb running away to England, faking a degree in archaeology and squeeing in an academic, highly erudite manner with the rest of them.
Also, I should be in bed, because we're getting up at the butt-crack of dawn, but the DC Book Fest is tomorrow today! Rick Riordan is going to be there! As is Ken Burns and Paula Deen (lmao)! Aaaand a whole mess of amazing authors seriously this place is going to be packed, Lois Lowry and Michael Connolly and seriously huge crowds. But! Riordan! 8Db Taking The Last Olympian hopefully he will sign it~!
