Nationalist Geographic


National Geographic have listed their top 10 archaeological finds of the year.
No1 is a ship that sank in 1901. The vessel carried gold rush prospectors and was found in a lake in the Yukon remarkably well preserved.
At No2 is the Staffordshire Hoard.
At the risk of sounding nationally biased myself I would humbly suggest they have these about face.
A 100-year-old paddle steamer or 5kg of gold that can tell us an awful lot about seventh century Britain?
