Archaeologists in Cambridge, England, are thrilled to have discovered the Anglo-Saxon grave of a young woman wearing a gold cross. Forensic work suggests she was about 16. "Although she was almost certainly a Christian, buried with the beautiful cross stitched into place on her gown, she was buried according to ancient pagan tradition with some treasured possessions including an iron knife and a chatelaine, a chain hanging from her belt, and some glass beads which were probably originally in a purse that has rotted away."
