Fragments of the bucket, named the Bromeswell bucket, were first found in 1986. Researchers found more pieces of the relic last year during an excavation by Time Team, a British TV show where archaeologists conduct excavations on-camera.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>An analysis of the newly-discovered pieces determined that Time Team had found the entire base of the bucket, and that it contained human bone fragments, the National Trust, a U.K.-based conservation organization, said in a news release. The bones included part of an ankle bone and fragments of a skull, which the National Trust said was proof of an &#8220;early Anglo-Saxon cremation burial.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/05\/27\/54e50190-554d-455a-8da6-1b62d1afffb1\/thumbnail\/620x620\/7778171a85ba032bb4bf309540ba6461\/499914472-1268810361282934-4808422345703698730-n.jpg?v=f5922acb8cfbf6d7fe1f82314e5e9885#\" alt=\"499914472-1268810361282934-4808422345703698730-n.jpg \" height=\"620\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/05\/27\/54e50190-554d-455a-8da6-1b62d1afffb1\/thumbnail\/620x620\/7778171a85ba032bb4bf309540ba6461\/499914472-1268810361282934-4808422345703698730-n.jpg?v=f5922acb8cfbf6d7fe1f82314e5e9885 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/05\/27\/54e50190-554d-455a-8da6-1b62d1afffb1\/thumbnail\/1240x1240\/46f75c272afa476b9a9e30693f2cac0b\/499914472-1268810361282934-4808422345703698730-n.jpg?v=f5922acb8cfbf6d7fe1f82314e5e9885 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Some of the pieces of the Bromeswell Bucket on display.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                David Brunetti, National Trust Images<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Angus Wainwright, a National Trust archaeologist, said in the news release that the burial appeared to be &#8220;very special,&#8221; and that researchers will conduct further analysis.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There were also animal bones inside the bucket, which is made of copper alloy and is decorated with a hunting scene.

The agency said its researchers hope ancient DNA can be recovered from the object. The item was not burned in the cremation process, the National Trust noted. The inclusion of such combs in other burial sites suggest that &#8220;personal appearance and grooming was important to the Anglo-Saxons.&#8221; The comb could also have been used to control lice, the trust said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Plant remains were found during the excavation of the bucket pieces.
