Sutton Hoo’s Bucket Had a Wild Secret

Turns out that fancy 6th-century bucket from Sutton Hoo wasn’t just for show—it actually held the cremated remains of a VIP, plus animal bones and an antler comb! This copper-alloy bucket, imported from Turkey and inscribed in Greek, was likely a diplomatic gift before becoming a super-exclusive urn. Experts are now digging into its secrets (literally), hoping DNA on the comb will reveal more about the mysterious person inside. Sutton Hoo just keeps getting weirder and cooler! #SuttonHoo #Archaeology #History #AncientMysteries #TimeTeam #Science
