When employees of the heritage management service for the district of Cuxhaven discovered a Late Roman to Migration Period cemetery near the wurt Fallward in the 1990s, they could not have known how exceptional the finds from the marshy ground would be: coffins with the remains of people buried in their clothing and jewellery and countless wooden grave goods which were almost entirely undamaged. Today, these burials and finds provide unparalleled insights into the lives and death of our ancestors living in the local North Sea marshes more than 1600 years ago. The photographs in this volume particularly illustrate the clearly visible production marks and the numerous use wear traces, as well as the elaborate decoration of the grave goods.
