In 1952 a well-furnished cremation burial was discovered by accident during the construction of a new housing estate at Snailwell, Cambridgeshire. Some objects from the grave are well known, such as the beautiful spiral bracelet with its fearsome animal-headed terminals. But others which tell us a lot about the grave occupant, like the belt buckle thought from a Roman military belt, are not. In this presentation, Jody Joy will discuss his recent work re-examining these artefacts, telling the story of this fascinating burial.
