As a Medievalist, the Staffordshire Hoard and Sutton Hoo helmet are some of my favorite artifacts and in my opinion, are the embodiment of Anglo-Saxon Britain.

A a woman born in East Anglia but mostly raised in the US with a few years schooled in Lowestoft I love your shows. It brings me home especially when I catch a suffolk accent. I'm a proud relative of Amos Beamish the Famous Giant of Barnby he is my great great great... uncle.

I have a theory about the large number of double-burials, with so much weaponry buried along with the corpses: there was an attack on the village, and those people buried together were relatives who died in the raid, the adults having attempted to defend the village. The fact that the one skull, at least, showed signs of blunt-force trauma could definitely point to someone killed in battle.
Like many of the peoples of that time period, the Saxons were a "warlike" folk (I mean what Germanic people WASN'T in those days?). They believed in basically the same gods and goddesses as the Norse (Vikings) did. To those people, dying in battle, defending one's home and family, would have been seen as a "good death," and they would have been buried with their weapons as a sign of their warrior honour.
If it was a raid, and a large number of family members were killed all at once (even the elderly and children were considered legitimate targets in olden times), it stands to reason that brothers would be buried together, children would be buried with parents, etc. This is all an educated guess, but I think it fits.

All these double burials suggest something bad happened here…probably an attack. The burial with the infant/toddler was very touching.

The Anglo Saxon period is probably my favorite for Medieval england

I want everyone to understand what this documentary is getting at: which is, that artifacts discovered do not necessarily mean the people who made the item, ever lived in the area. I've seen so called archaeologists find an item older than the place they know the age of, then ascribe the item's age to the location, instead of ever thinking it was taken there. Ancient people were just like us today; they admired their treasures. They held in high esteem loot taken from their enemies. Monarchs and high officials hoarded war trophies, just as eagerly as WWII vets prized a German Luger. So, in such reasoning we must apply a simple logical deduction of if the item originates there or did it originate in a different year and location and eventually wind up where it was found?

The literal meaning of 'kick the bucket".

There's a hole in your bucket, dear Tony, dear Tony. There's a hole in your bucket, dear Tony, a hole. 🎶🎶

Looks like more than one person had kicked the bucket!

Wonderful explanation by museum why/how finding of amateur followed proper identification procedure thus encouraging Time Team investigation. That itself is exciting for public education.

This is one of the most interesting episodes.

I'm American with German ancestory. Going way back with my own findings. The folks were very practical and only had useful items. Since the skeletons are buried in pairs with things, could the buckets be wedding presents to take take to the after life?
Watching this program makes me want to dig up my own backyard and see what I wind up with. Washington State does have a history.

Since this was so long ago I am hoping it includes all test results on the buckets . What was in each one which grave they came from ect. An update on anything else, after the program finishes… that’s what I wish to know…

Just noticed Carenza's sunburned arms, so dedicated! Love this team !

the maggot spear head- might have had maggots pupating on it since it was covered in flesh and blood of the enemy. and sat outside for at least a day before buried ( flies laid eggs on it).

I love the pace of walking, as if the artifacts were about to run and hide!

As always, a wonderful episode about England's rich history! I love the protagonists, some of whom are already legends!

Regarding the question as to 'why such young people would have been buried with weapons?' i would say it had to do with the warrior mentality of that age in believing that any afterlife would be a violent place where you had to protect yourself as this is all they knew like in norse views of the afterlife.

If I owned land in the UK, I would spend the rest of my days digging holes.
