University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) have discovered a shaft filled with 12th c. bodies in central Leicester, thought to represent 5% of the town's population at the time. Were they the victims of an undocumented pandemic or of starvation? www.theguardian.com/science/2024...

This Anglo-Saxon 'small long' brooch (5th/6th century CE), was found on a dig in Leicester. Part of the growing evidence showing life continued in the ruinous Roman city, previously thought abandoned during the 'dark ages'. shorturl.at/hdxx6 #archaeology #leicester
