The 5th talk of our online series 'Behind the Scenes: Analysing Anglo-Saxon Rendlesham'.
The excavations at Rendlesham uncovered a range of gold, silver and copper alloy (non-ferrous) metalworking waste including, scrap metal, globules of spilt metal, casting sprues and unfinished objects were recovered. This all suggests an elite manufacturing site with a metalworking workshop. Scientific analysis can tell us how the metalworking workshop at Rendlesham functioned, what technology was used, and even provide a glimpse into the craft-workers thought process, bringing us one step closer to understanding the Anglo-Saxons.
This online series is in partnership with two projects: Rendlesham Revealed led by Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service and funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund; and Lordship and Landscape led by Christopher Scull and funded by the Leverhulme Trust.
