Massive Iron Age hoards discovered in England may be from funeral of powerful Celtic queen

Two massive Iron Age hoards of burned metal weapons, vessels, and chariots or carts, found in the north of England, may have been part of a royal funeral, possibly for a queen, archaeologists say.

A metal detectorist found the hoards in 2021 near the village of Melsonby in Yorkshire and alerted archaeologists. Excavators discovered two separate deposits with a total of more than 950 artifacts, including iron “tires” for wooden wheels, a cauldron, an ornate wine-mixing bowl and ceremonial spearheads.
