The 3,000-year-old objects, which were discovered in a burial pit containing cremated human remains, highlight Bronze Age people’s craftsmanship and attention to appearance, experts say.
Archeologists in Wales have unearthed a glitzy, golden hair-ring and the oldest wooden comb ever found in the U.K. from a roadside burial pit dating back to the Bronze Age.
The pit contained the 3,000-year-old remains of a person who was cremated with the glamorous artifacts, which may have facilitated the “extremely rare survival” of the comb as charcoal, according to a statement.
