Click on the questions to find out the answers. What do these objects tell us about this Anglo-Saxon child? Anglo-Saxon children were not always buried with any objects. Sometimes boys were buried with weapons and girls with brooches, just like the adults. Children usually had less objects buried with them but most often were buried with a knife. The age of a child and the status of his/her family may have influenced what objects were buried with them. |
