Comparative studies on the age of Sutton Hoo (5c - 8c) with English
and European focus, plus summary of the latest site excavations.
`The Sutton Hoo `princely' burials play a pivotal role in any
modern discussion of Germanic kingship.'EARLY MEDIEVAL EUROPE The
age of Sutton Hoo runs from the fifth to the eighth century AD - a
dark and difficult age,where hard evidence is rare, but glittering
and richly varied. Myths, king-lists, place-names, sagas, palaces,
belt-buckles, middens and graves are all grist to the
archaeologist's mill. This book celebrates the anniversary of the
discovery of that most famous burial at Sutton Hoo. Fifty years ago
this great treasure, now in the British Museum, was unearthed from
the centre of a ninety-foot-long ship buried on remote Suffolk
heathland. Included in this volume are 23 wide-ranging essays on
the Age of Sutton Hoo and director Martin Carver's summary of the
latest excavations, which represent the current state of knowledge
about this extraordinary site. That it still has secrets to reveal
is shown by the last-minute discovery of a striking burial of a
young noble with his horse and grave goods. M.O.H. CARVER is
Professor of Archaeology at York University, and Director of the
Sutton Hoo Research Project.
