I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

Not going to live for ever, are you? Besides, it would make a very nice basket for a large dog to sleep in. Anyway, what else are you doing on Halloween?

Excavation unearths rare Saxon finds

Quote
Pagan burials containing rare pieces of jewellery and other graves goods have been found in a small Saxon Cemetery near Leighton Buzzard.

The excavation began after chance find by a local metal-detectorist of some Anglo-Saxon shield bosses dating from around AD600.

To protect the site from night-hawks during the excavation a member of the Leighton Buzzard and District Archaeological and Historical Society slept in a tent on the site for two weeks.

Following a geophysical survey of the area, members of the society led by site director, Bernard Jones, have completed a two-week excavation which has revealed the graves of four individuals, one female and three males. They appear to have been quite young, within the age range of 15 to 25 years old...
