The Amesbury Archer gave us the earliest example of gold use; the Wetwang Slack chariot burial helped to show how these vehicles were made and used; The Spitalfield Roman has unique glass wares; The Prittlewell tomb is on the cusp of pagan and Christian burial rituals; The Sutton Hoo ship burial is the richest ever found in England; The Mary Rose shipwreck opened a window on Tudor life at sea for the ordinary sailor.
