The young woman, who was buried in England around 1,300 years ago with an extremely rare gold cross, is thought to have been an early Christian convert.
"The significance [of the burial] is partly the rarity—of both bed burial and these sorts of high-status cross-shaped pieces of jewelry—but also what it indicates about who is heavily involved in the early Christian church in eastern Britain in the 7th century A.D.
A new analysis of the Trumpington woman's bones and teeth, conducted by bioarchaeologists Sam Leggett and Alice Rose helps to paint an even more detailed picture of her life. The analysis also showed that the girl's diet changed slightly between her earlier childhood and when she died, characterized by a small drop in the proportion of animal protein.
"She was quite a young girl when she moved, likely from part of southern Germany, close to the Alps, to a very flat part of England. She was probably quite unwell and she travelled a long way to somewhere completely unfamiliar—even the food was different. It must have been scary," Leggett said in a statement.
