    This month’s update is ‘people’, featuring the human form in plaster, plate, clay pipe and ceramic! Let’s start with this late pearl-plate (c. 1820-1870) depicting the “Awkward Squad” – for more info see the blog!

    ASE/ archaeologist is leading an ambitious new project to survey the Violet Bank in Jersey. The site is only accessible for 4 hrs at a time and only at Spring low tide! He's hunting evidence for Neanderthals - read more here:

    The dotted lines just visible on the x-ray could be the remains of a studded garment that became melded with the mineralised organics of the scabbard. So, tangentially, the sword could tell us how the body was dressed when buried! 4/4

    Broadly stylistically similar examples have been found elsewhere (like at Brisley Farm, see ), and ongoing work will help identify exactly where Walberton fits within the typology of Iron Age swords. 3/4

    The sword was held in a scabbard of organic material, which was strikingly decorated with a design that would have been highly visible when worn in life. This may have helped identify the ‘warrior’, like a badge of office. 2/4

    Today’s is (of course!) the sword from the burial, dating from 1st century BC to AD50! Initial conservation of the sword has already told us lots about the burial and its occupant. 1/4

    Here's a quick thread on the . Its an intertidal reef on the south east coast of Jersey. A remnant of a low ridge of land which, during the Ice Age, ran to what is now the French coast. On a very low tide it is exposed and accessible for over 10 square kilometers. 1/4

    More on the latest ? In case you missed it here’s a link to the 3D Model of the Walberton Iron Age grave for you to explore. Wonderful excavation and recording skills from colleagues

    We can finally share an exciting discovery from our excavations at Walberton - a late Iron Age/ early Roman burial containing weapons, including a sword in an intricate scabbard!

    More on the Iron Age burial from West Sussex as dug by those very nice people at – bone preservation sadly ☹️ but artefact preservation 🤩😍

    Jim Stevenson says it’s probably an amalgamation, or selective borrowing, of different burial traditions at this time of upheaval and inter-connectivity in Britain.

    Even within the same graves of this tradition the evidence varies. If you look at similar burials at Brisley Farm (Kent), the swords were intact but the spears in the same graves had been subject to destruction. (bendy orange object, RF E<24> in the image)

    What a great question! Destruction of weapons varies a lot in these ‘warrior’ burials. As you say, the N Bersted sword is famously bent – and there’s currently no evidence that the ’s sword was intentionally broken.

    Know your ! ⚔️ = The North Bersted 'warrior'. Found 12 years ago, now on display . Big Hat Energy. = Found recently by ASE on outskirts of Walberton (3km from N Bersted). No skeleton, but swanky sword and scabbard!

    Our investigations into the are ongoing - what does it mean for the landscape of Walberton and West Sussex at the end of the Iron Age? Many thanks to Linden Homes who commissioned our excavations ahead of development.

    Notice something missing? Yep, no skeleton! Unfavourable soil conditions mean it didn't survive. This limits our investigations somewhat - was this really a 'warrior', or someone buried with the trappings of one?

    Through the magic of 3D modelling you can get an archaeologist's eye view of the the grave! Check out the weapons, ceramic vessels, and the remains of a wooden container that may have been used to lower the warrior into the grave.
