We thought it was time for another update on the grave burial from Bognor Regis as yet more exciting finds have been uncovered.

The Helmet
 

The latest stage of the excavation has seen the helmet completely uncovered with the discovery of an attachment that would have held a chin strap in place. Although damaged the helmet is in one piece and, thanks to the painstaking work of our contract conservator Kelly Abbott, is ready to be lifted free of the surrounding soil. Read on to see some additional images of the helmet attachments........
 

Fragments of bone have also been recovered along with several more ornate hanging attachments.

The excavation is nearing completion now so watch this space for future updates on the helmet, sword and other grave items as their treatment gets underway.
