The British Museum

It's a couple of weeks since we went, but I'll post the images anyway. For one of Ed's modules, it was recommended that he go and see the Enlightenment exhibit at the British Museum. We both thought it would be a great thing for the two of us to as I wanted to go see the Sutton Hoo exhibit, as I studied it last year. Plus, entry is free! We had a great day all together, and we're definitely planning on going to see some of the other free entry museums on London. When you're a student, you need to economise while still educating yourself :)

My Third box context was the most fragmented of the lot. The bags were full of shards, and I wasn't able to put them all together... The bones didn't say much to me either. None of the bones told me anything about the sex of the individual, or their age, so I was at a bit of a loss. Basically, I have to say "I don't know" on this one, which is okay. Chances are it's a male though, because I estimated the height and there weren't many 5'7" women in Anglo-Saxon times!
