Staffordshire hoard excavation from Dan Pett on Vimeo.
Artefacts from the Staffordshire Hoard of Angl0-Saxon treasures are currently on display in the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery until Tuesday 13 October 2009. This has generated a lot of interest - there have been long queues round the side of the museum and news stories from around the world.
There are over 1,500 objects in the Hoard, most of them in gold and some in silver - including sword hilts and helmets. The quality of the craftmenship is apparently also high, which is also why the find is significant and might indicate royal ownership.
You can see pictures of the artefacts in the Staffordshire hoard on Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery's pages on Flickr.
