Museums Worcestershire acquired a Bronze Age spearhead (1550–1250 B.C.) and knife (c.1000–800 B.C.) found near a water source under the Treasure Act.
Two of the five where children's graves, one of which was furnishing with significant offerings, including a drilled deer tooth and a miniature axe head, likely carved from a larger axe that broke. The child died between the ages of three and five. The other child was older, between nine and 12 years old, and was buried with a large harpoon. His skeletal remains are in poor condition and appear to have been deliberately disturbed, likely as part of ritual practices after his burial.
