You know, did you bring that shield? Was it his shield? Was it your shield? There- Those are all fascinating questions that we must ask when we deal with a burial.
Alice RobertsHOST
[gentle music] It's such a colorful picture, this idea of an Iron Age funeral with this important man, this leader, this chieftain lying in his open grave with his chariot and his horses, and the whole community converging to witness this event and feasting together.
Alice RobertsHOST
And right now, conservators at Museum of London Archeology are working on an astonishing set of finds which demonstrates just how important feasting was to Iron Age society.
Alice RobertsHOST
[gentle music] I'm joining John Thomas, whose team discovered 11 cauldrons near the village of Glenfield, near Leicester, and Liz Barham, who is conserving the cauldrons.
Alice RobertsHOST
This is a large number of deviant burials for a single cemetery.
Alice RobertsHOST
So what does it mean? I've asked Rebecca Redfern from the Museum of London and lead archeologist Ceri Bull into the lab to help solve this mystery.
Alice RobertsHOST
I, I suppose what's absolutely crucial to understand about this, you know, we talk about decapitation, but what we, what we need to try to understand is whether that is somebody being beheaded-
Ceri BullGUEST
Mm

speaker_7GUEST
It was a real stigma to have damage to your nose because people knew immediately that you must have late stages of syphilis.
speaker_7GUEST
And so they even made wooden and metal false noses so that people could try and cover up the damage that syphilis had done.
Suzannah LipscombHOST

Helen GeakeHOST
That's one of the things that I thought with reading the book, I thought, well, I've absolutely got to go back to Leicester to have a proper visit to Colchester to explore Verulamium, which I've never done, to do all of this.
Helen GeakeHOST
But I've also got to do it again in a couple of years when the London Museum, the new London Museum is open.
Helen GeakeHOST
I've got to check out the new Drury Wall Museum, which I haven't been to yet.
Helen GeakeHOST
