This trove was found in 2009 by a passionate amateur with his trusty metal detector. We do know about it, however the article in National Geographic, Nov 2011, ( kindly donated by a friendly dentist waiting room assistant) does give my best high def pictures, and a good overview of how the English came into Britain relatively recently, like America, invading into other cultures thousands of years old. The Islands of Britain and Ireland have rather a complicated history which we need not go into. What we do know is the indigenous Picts, driven by the Romans into the mountains of their homeland, what is now Scotland and Wales, the Celts from Ireland spreading into what is now Scotland, the invading Vikings, and the invading Anglo Saxons, all had a highly developed sense of metal ornamentation, and their own styles, as did the Romans. By the way, I will not discount the influence of the Romans in the regions of Strathclyde, and southern Wales.
Various different techniques are seen on the artifacts.
Here are some of the photos from the magazine, and the story. Well worth buying this edition for your reference library.
Once again, I see my order of photos seems to change in the process of uploading, so would some kind soul please post how we edit the order of photos after they are uploaded?
