Archaeologists have made what they're calling a "once-in-a-lifetime" discovery in Norfolk, England, unearthing the most complete Iron Age war trumpet ever found in Europe. The extraordinary bronze carnyx, discovered alongside a unique boar's head battle standard and other military artifacts, may have connections to the legendary Celtic Queen Boudicca and her fierce rebellion against the Roman Empire in AD 60-61. The remarkable find was uncovered last summer during excavations ahead of a housing development in west Norfolk by the team from Pre-Construct Archaeology.
