This burial tells us:
- This man was wealthy or important. The quality of the decoration on the sword scabbard particularly suggests this.
- He was probably a warrior since he had both a spear and sword
- The bucket tells us he probably enjoyed drinking and feasting.
- He was wearing a belt
These objects do not tell us:
- How old the man was when he died.
- How healthy the man was when he died
- The cause of his death
Archaeologists need the skeleton to be able to answer these questions.
