| Title |
Fossil seal urchin |
||
| Description |
English: A complete fossil sea urchin. This object is a natural item, however it is recorded here due to the possibility that it could have been used as some kind of amulet. The object was found on a middle Saxon 'productive' site, and the fossil is out of place in the natural setting of the site. It might be, therefore, that it was brought to site through human agency.
A similar echinoid was discovered in urn 364 at the Anglo-Saxon cemetery at Cleatham, North Lincolnshire, where it was thought to have been purposefully placed as an amulet. |
