This burial tells us:
- This woman was wealthy or important since she had a very elaborate and large square-headed brooch.
- She also had two disc brooches buried with her so she was wearing a dress fastened by these brooches.
- She was probably also wearing a cloak which was fastened by the square-headed brooch.
- She was also wearing a belt
These objects do not tell us:
- How old the woman was when she died.
- How healthy the woman was when she died.
- The cause of her death.
Archaeologists need the skeleton to be able to answer these questions.
