Bedfordshire

Bedfordshire by thesweetcheat Grave goods from a Beaker "flat grave" discovered during chalk quarrying in 1968, near Sewell, Bedfordshire. On display in the British Museum. L-R: Beaker, bone toggle, copper pin, stone "wristguard".

"This grave contained the crouched body of an adult male. The wristguard and pin lay on the left arm. The toggle lay at the chest and the beaker at the feet. A second adult male was later placed above the first, but without personal grave goods."
