The unique collection features more than 1,300 bone and antler objects that were found during excavations in a single town.
Archaeologists have revealed an 'extraordinary and unique' collection of medieval artifacts, including a set of 'Viking' combs, found during excavations in an English town.The collection, which consists of 1,341 bone and antler objects, as well as 2,400 fragments of waste, is detailed in a new book published on March 27. The materials were uncovered during excavations conducted in the historic core of Ipswich, a town in Suffolk, East Anglia, between 1974 and 1994.
The Scandinavian combs, which date to the period from around A.D. 870-925, are of particular significance.They were produced during the Viking Age, a period in medieval history between roughly the late 8th and 11th centuries, when the Vikings—a Scandinavian seafaring people—raided, colonized, and traded widely across Europe and beyond.'The Ipswich Scandinavian comb collection is small in a sense at 13 items but it is still the largest assemblage from England, beating both York and London.
