Yarm Viking helmet 'first' to be unearthed in Britain
Yarm Viking helmet 'first' to be unearthed in Britain Aug 10, 2020 A Viking helmet unearthed in Yarm in the 1950s is the first to ever be found in Britain, according to new research. Found in Chapel Yard by workmen digging trenches for new sewerage pipes, the corroded, damaged artefact is a rare, 10th century Anglo-Scandinavian helmet. A research project led by Dr Chris Caple also found it is only the second near-complete Viking helmet found in the world. http://viking-archaeology-blog.blogs...rst-to-be.html |
