68 – Staffordshire Hoard: A Bonus Update on the New Find
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Deb Klemperer took the time to chat with us via telephone today regarding the treasury inquest that focused on the 81 new objects that were found and added to the hoard including a new cross and what looks like a “cheek piece” that matches the one originally found! Also, for my money, the most exciting bit revolves around the new copper alloy stuff found and the ideas that they’re generating!

67 – Staffordshire Hoard: Deb Klemperer on the Dig

I love the way Deb Klemperer tells stories, so today we’re going to hear more from Deb on the Hoard. As you might recall from the last episode, she is the head curator at The Potteries Museum at Stoke-on-Trent. She has quite a lot to share with us on what was going on, and some rather interesting side notes (such as the involvement of the Army!)
