Title: Unique Anglo-Saxon Burial?
Post by: Patrick Waterson on June 25, 2012, 03:13:26 PM
A recently-discovered Anglo-Saxon cow burial appears to break the usual grave goods mould.  This animal was apparently sufficiently valued to be buried with a high-status human.  Or was it the other way around?  ;)

Cue Anglo-Saxon "which one's the old cow?" jokes.
