The discovery in 1939 of a richly outfitted ship buried at Sutton
Hoo, near Woodbridge in East Anglia, provided a range of important
information to a wide range of disciplines, including archaeology,
art history, economic history, folklore, literary studies and
numismatics. This volume details the interdisciplinary impact of
Sutton Hoo over the past half-century and reconsiders aspects of
the culture of Anglo-Saxon England in the broad context of its
connections with Scandinavian and Merovingian Europe. From the
perspective of European archaeology, Sutton Hoo belongs to a large
group of exceptionally rich burials, dating from the Neolithic
period until the practice of placing lavish objects in graves ended
with the adoption of Christianity, well into the medieval period in
northern Europe. As the richest early medieval burial found in
Europe, Sutton Hoo provides insights into pagan Anglo-Saxon culture
at the moment of transition to Christianity, and a model for
understanding the politics and personalities of a world caught on
the boundary between competing ideologies and contrasting social
systems.
