Anglo-Saxon Warrior Queen in Unearthed
[Lincolnshire Echo -- 10:30 - 20 September 2003]
A 1,500-year-old Anglo-Saxon "warrior queen" has been found buried just two feet under the surface of a county field.

Archaeological experts are describing the discovery of three skeletons in a shallow grave near Lincoln as 'one of the most significant Anglo-Saxon discoveries made in our county'.... "The bones of the female warrior suggested that she was six feet tall. When the six foot tall "Amazonian" died around 1,500 years ago, it could have been through natural causes or she could have perished by the sword... "The second woman had the amber beads around her neck and her feet were tied with a rope. The rope still looked perfectly normal and the archaeologists took the fibres away for analysis... "And the man had his hand over a pot which had deliberately been made with holes in it so that it would never be used again...
