A thoughtful piece in The Guardian this week explores the discovery of the Norfolk Iron Age hoard, including the near-complete carnyx uncovered during PCA’s excavation.
Following a week of wide national and international headlines, the article offers useful context around the hoard, its wider significance, and how it fits within what we know of Late Iron Age Britain. It’s a good read for anyone looking to step back from the immediate news coverage and take a slightly longer view of the discovery ahead of its appearance on Digging for Britain later this week.
