The anchor you see here fell into the sea back when the shoreline was much further to the north, which is about 700 to 800 years ago. It is the oldest nautic artefact found yet in Britannia. This find made it certain to me that what I was looking for was only to be found to the north of here, as I was primarily interested in the era of 1500 years ago and back then the shore was even further to the north.

These are the first pieces I found from the age that I was interested in. If you take a closer look at the basin, you will notice the great skill that it has been crafted with. But my research led me to believe that the most interesting finds were to be made even further to the north, away from the coast.

This place appears to have been an agricultural area. These items date 1200 before Mondain, 1500 years ago, as it is the year 300 now of course. The plough and whip were found together; they likely already used horses to do some of the work in the fields, but I have not found any horse bones to proof that yet.

This is the wand that, as you may recall I tried to learn more about today. I have yet been unable to activate or identify its magic but it seems to be related to fire. That millstone there shows us that the village used the powers of wind or water through complicated clockwork to perform tasks. Next, those bars of gold. I consulted one of the royal minters on them and he told me that they are of far higher purity and quality than most gold made today. So, even back then they must have had exceptional skills in mining and smelting that metal. Finally, that painted skull might have been very important for some of their tribal rituals, as the paint on it has been applied with such a great care that it shows barely any sign of decay despite all these years.

I hope to find out many interesting things about these artefacts in the coming days and I am even looking for what is mentioned in the ancient scrolls as a kind of important burial place which might grant us a great insight into their culture. The items are not the cradle of Britain, but from a village that located once here before Britain was founded. The items shown will be most likely transported to Museum of Vesper at later date.
