Ongoing Sutton Hoo Excavation Finds Missing Pieces of Byzantine Bucket
The conclusion of a month-long excavation by a renowned television archaeology TV show in Britain has revealed the uncovered missing fragments of a 6th century Byzantine bucket at the renowned Sutton Hoo site in Suffolk, England. Parts of the original bucket were discovered in 1986, and then in 2012, but the current dig provides the missing pieces of the puzzle. These fragments have been discovered along with other artifacts at the prehistoric site.
The archaeologists from Time Team had 80 volunteers from across the world participate at the Sutton Hoo site, described as England’s ‘Valley of the Kings’. They were supported by the National Trust and FAS Heritage, part of a 2 year long excavation project.
