Some of the cultures in England and Wales at the time were the Anglo-Saxons , the Vikings , the Welsh and the Cornish .
Some of the most beautiful and exciting objects from this time were put into Anglo-Saxon graves. Many people were buried in their best clothes, with particular tools or weapons next to them. There were no coins used at this time. Buttons hadn't been invented yet, and clothes weren't stretchy, so pins and brooches were used to keep the clothing tight and warm around the body. At this time, too, coins slowly become more common as people begin to buy and sell more.
The stirrup-strap mounts and stirrup terminals are particularly exciting as they represent the earliest archaeological evidence for the use of stirrups in England .
