Re: New Anglo-Saxon Chieftan's grave found

[Shelagh Lewins]

The body has decayed totally (no trace) so it sounds unlikely that there are going to be any textiles. Indeed I am uncertain as to on what grounds they have concluded that it was definitely a man's grave! The glassware looks pretty stunning though, and the real prize is that everything was found in situ and properly excavated :)   I won't be able to see it in London, but I hope to see the exhibition when it moves to Southend in March. If nobody else has said anything by then, I'll be happy to report!   Shelagh ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 06, 2004 4:24 PM Subject: New Anglo-Saxon Chieftan's grave found Apparently another 7th-century burial of a major Anglo-Saxon chieftain has been discovered in England which will rival the Sutton Hoo find.  Woo hoo!   Google Search:   Are there any of our members in England who would be able to get to the Museum of London where the items found in this burial are on display through 17 February?  It would be amazing to know if any textiles were found.   Nancy     * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Nancy Spies Arelate Studio www.weavershand.com/ArelateStudio.html
