In re-examining artifacts from a significant 4,000-year-old Bronze Age burial site near Stonehenge in the UK, archaeologists discovered a toolkit for working with gold objects and coatings that hadn't previously been identified.
– both designed to comprehensively confirm material types – confirmed that the researchers were looking at gold from ancient times.The team identified gold residues on five different artifacts and spotted an elemental signature in the gold consistent with Bronze Age goldwork found throughout the UK.
"The man buried at Upton Lovell, close to Stonehenge, was a highly skilled craftsman, who specialized in making gold objects,", a curator at the Wiltshire Museum, where the new finds are being exhibited. Brown wasn't directly involved in the research. The team behind this new study is calling for more detailed and nuanced categorization to be applied to archaeological digs such as the one at Upton Lovell G2a – an approach that may reveal plenty more secrets.
