A definitive account of Sutton Hoo, its discovery, history and
famed treasure. The Sutton Hoo ship-burial is one of the most
significant finds ever made in Europe. It lies in a burial ground
which contains all the elements of archaeological mystery:
seventeen mounds, buried treasure, and sacrificed horses. In this
very accessible book, Martin Carver explains what we know of this
site, at which the leaders of the Dark Age kingdom of East Anglia
signalled the pagan and maritime nature of their court. This is the
story not only of this dramatic place, but also of its exploration
over half a century, which amounts to a potted history of British
archaeology.
