The recently unearthed Roman bronze enameled cup from a 6th century Anglo-Saxon burial in Scremby is a significant archaeological find, offering insights into status dynamics.
Most graves at Scremby featured lavish goods, often involving women buried with fine jewelry and tools, but the cup's burial context stood out for its simplicity.
The cup's discovery during a professional excavation contrasts with past finds by amateurs, enhancing the reliability of its context and the findings surrounding it.
The adolescent female interred with the bronze cup showcases social variance in burial practices, as her grave was notably modest compared to her peers.
