They grew spelt wheat in fields. They used both handmade and wheel-thrown pottery. They used and deposited rich assemblages of metal objects, including the coins of the Sedgeford hoard and the Sedgeford torc. They were connected to the wider world of north-west Norfolk by prehistoric tracks and a small river that passed through the valley.
