On 5 July 2009 a metal-detectorist started to unearth gold objects
in a Staffordshire field. Thus began the discovery of the largest
hoard of Anglo-Saxon treasure ever found. Consisting of over 1600
items - including fittings from the hilts of swords, fragments from
helmets, Christian crosses and magnificent pieces of garnet work -
the Staffordshire Hoard has begun to rewrite history. This new and
extended edition of the successful title by Kevin Leahy and Roger
Bland delves deeper into the story behind the hoard, using the
latest research to fill previous gaps in knowledge and turn some of
the original ideas about the discovery on their head. Complete with
new photography of the cleaned and conserved objects, showing off
the stunning and intricate decoration, this book provides a
fascinating account of the history and the discovery of this
remarkable hoard.
