'Dramatic' ancient cemetery found
Quote:
A freelance archaeologist has uncovered what is thought to be the only known Anglo-Saxon royal burial site in the north of England... Spectacular gold jewellery, weapons and clothing were found at the 109-grave cemetery, believed to date from the middle of the 7th Century.
Tees Archaeology officer Robin Daniels said: "This is the only known Anglo-Saxon royal burial site in the North of England...
"It is the most dramatic find of Anglo-Saxon material for generations."
