Saxon Warrior
Excavated at Ford, Laverstock near Salisbury in 1964. The man was buried with 2 spears, a shield, an iron knife and scabbard (both with elaborate silver fittings) and a bone hair comb. The other interesting grave good was a bronze ‘hanging bowl’, which contained crab apples and onions when it was placed in the grave.
