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.
