Andrew Tester (left), Suffolk County Council archaeologist, explains the value of the archaeological treasure found on Royal Air Force (RAF) Mildenhall, UK, to US Air Force (USAF) Colonel (COL) Richard T. Devereaux (second from left), Commander, 100th Air Refueling Wing (ARW). When a new softball field was planned, Mr. Tester and his colleagues were called in to survey an area first and they discovered the artifacts. This body was not only the only find that the archaeologists found, there were several other remains, pottery, and coins. The dates for most of the finds are believed to be from the early Roman age, 43 - 410 C.E. (Common Era)), but some items could fall into the Neolithic...

Close up of a lady's grave, one of 50 new Anglo-Saxon graves discovered at Royal Air Force (RAF), Lakenheath, UK. A team of archaeologists from the Suffolk County Council Archaeology Department is excavating the site of the old hospital annex on base. The excavation site forms part of an early Anglo-Saxon cemetery complex first identified in 1956 and continues on from work carried out on different parts of the site. The present excavation has so far revealed graves dating from a period between the late fifth and early seventh centuries, which brings the total of burials found in this area to more than 400

Some of the artifacts extracted, cleaned and catalogued, and protected in this "curation room" at the Crow Canyon Archeological Center. The center conducts digs and other archaeological research, education and preservation programs, and partnerships with American Indians in the artifact-rich valleys and mesa tops of Montezuma County in the southwest corner of Colorado. These objects eventually are given to the Anasazi Heritage Center in Dolores, Colorado, which displays the culture and history of the Ancestral Pueblo people

While preparing an area for a new softball field, archaeologists were called in to survey the area first and they discovered a treasure trove of artifacts.

(Common Era), but some may be from as far back as 3500 B.C.E. (Before the Common Era)
