Ancient gold artefacts uncovered in north Wales

Post by Puffin »

http://www.itv.com/news/wales/2015-03-2 ... rth-wales/

The Late Bronze Age hoard of two 'lock' gold rings were discovered in the Community of Rosset. The wearer would've been a person of wealth and status within Late Bronze Age Society, between 10000 and 800BC.

In terms of their use, archaeologists aren't certain whether they were used as ear-rings or worn to gather locks of hair, as the name suggests.

Very nice, although it doesn't say who found them.

This would tend to confirm they were ?

"...The lock-ring pair will be acquired by Wrexham County Borough Museum and Archives following their independent valuation..."
