## Resource

The Melsonby hoard, a colossal Iron Age metalwork collection, has been unveiled at the Yorkshire Museum in York. This treasure trove, consisting of over eight hundred items from two thousand years ago, challenges the notion that the north was a neglected region of Britain. The artifacts, including chariot parts, weapons, and a standout iron mirror, were deliberately smashed, burned, and buried, suggesting significant events like feasts, battles, or elite funerals. The mirror, a rare find, is believed to have belonged to high-status women, possibly Queen Cartimandua or her mother/grandmother. The museum acquired the hoard for over £265,000, with only a fifth on display now. This discovery reshapes our understanding of ancient Britain, highlighting the norths wealth and artistry.
