Вот еще интересная находка отсюда: https://www.shropshirelive.com/news/2017/02/10/archaeologists-discover-possible-anglo-saxon-church-and-mysterious-ancient-animal-burials/
Archaeologists have discovered what they think are the remains of an Anglo-Saxon church and ancient pagan animal burials in an archaeological dig around a late 12th/early 13th century church in Shropshire. Lead archaeologist Janey Green and her team with the remains of what is believed to be an Anglo-Saxon door post The discoveries are not only significant for the history of the site at Sutton, Shrewsbury, but they could potentially rewrite the ecclesiastical history of Shropshire. The team of archaeologists faced a race against to find the remains of a wooden beam, post or other object that could be used to accurately date the site, before it was due to be sealed to make way for a road and car park. On the final day of part of the dig, to the west of the existing Medieval church, they discovered the crucial piece of evidence that they needed – a 15-inch section of an upright wooden post, believed to be a door post. A rusty metal hinge was also found in the same spot. “I had a hunch there was an Anglo-Saxon church here, the site was rumoured to be Anglo-Saxon and the vital piece of evidence that we need to be able to prove that it is Anglo-Saxon came at the last hour literally!” said project manager Janey Green, of Baskerville Archaeological Services, based in Ledbury, Herefordshire. Ну, опять же, что это за "metal hinge" - еще надо разбираться |
