Website on Uppåkra

Many thanks to Jeff Wolf  for finding this, a site about archaeological digs and research at Uppåkra, a town dating back to the first century CE (possibly earlier) which controlled West Scania and was a major religious and commercial center before and during the Viking era. Many exquisite items, including an image of Odin, a bird brooch, and the enigmatic Winged Man of Uppåkra have been found here. The Swedish version may be found here. The English version of the original site may be found here.

More Saxon treasure unearthed

"A silver clothes buckle dating back to the Saxon era has been discovered by two keen archaeologists. ... This item has gone to Verulamium museum as it may be declared treasure trove. ...David Sewell, 52, of New Road, Northchurch, and Mark Becher, 37, from Uxbridge, are regularly unearthing ancient treasure as the heads of firm The Metal Detectors."  More information can be found at Hemel Today.
