The “Sutton Hoo” Treasures are amazing Anglo-Saxon discoveries discovered in a 7th-century ship burial mound

A 2016 study found that a black carbon-based material found aboard the luxurious, 7th-century ship, buried at a site called Sutton Hoo in England, is bitumen – an organic, petroleum-based asphalt that is found only in the Middle East. The Anglo-Saxon ship buried in honor of a 7th-century monarch carried the rare, tar-like material. The ship’s burial mound , along with other burial mound s, were found approximately 80 years ago near the Deben river in today’s Great Britain.

1,200-year-old lord's tomb laden with gold unearthed in Panama

Image
Archaeologists in Panama have discovered a 1, 200-year- old tomb belonging to pre-Hispanic royalty that also contains a sizable gold collection. The tomb is located in El Caño, an archaeological park in the Coclé province of central Panama. It is the final resting place of an "important Coclé lord," according to a translated statement from Panama's Ministry of Culture . The lord likely lived during the late 700s and would have been in his 30s when he died, according to an El Caño Foundation Facebook post.  The tomb contained an impressive amount of grave goods belonging to the unnamed royal, such as ceramic artifacts and gold pieces from a funerary trousseau — a collection of an individual's personal possessions.  A close-up of one of the gold artifacts found at the site.  (Image credit: Ministry of Culture) The cache includes five pectorals, or ornamental breast plates, two belts made of round gold beads, four bracelets, two earri...
