Place reservation for The bone chests : unlocking the secrets of the Anglo-SaxonsFrom bioarchaeologist and author Cat Jarman, this gripping history of the Anglo-Saxons is told through six bone chests, stored for over a thousand years in Winchester Cathedral. In 2014 when the chests were opened for the first time to anthropologists and archaeologist, the bones were photographed and catalogued so that the exact position of each individual item is a matter of record. Since then, cutting edge science, including isotope analysis, carbon dating and DNA analysis has revealed astonishing insights about the men and women who orchestrated and witnessed the creation of England.
