Sutton Hoo By: Caroline Coffey

Basic Information Sutton Hoo is the burial site of two Anglo-Saxon cemeteries. Found near Woodbridge, Suffolk, England Historians date these burials around 6 th and early 7 th centuries They are mounds of burials, and have been researched by many people One is the famous undisturbed ship burial

Background of the Burial Shows the wealth of the Anglo-Saxons as a people Mostly historians who study the early medieval period study this burial. They believe this “sheds light” on the Early English period because some think it is just a myth

Background cont. Many historians believe Raewald, ruler of East Anglia, was the person on the ship. The ship gave historians a great deal of information on early Anglo-Saxon period and East Anglia

Excavation The first excavation was started in 1938 Mrs. Edith May Pretty owned the land and hired Basil Brown to help her The ship was not found until 1939 In the summer of 1939, they discovered the completely undisturbed burial chamber of Raewald After that national experts took over the excavation Led by Dr Rupert Bruce-Mitford, in Mound 1 was re-excavated, revealing further evidence about the overall archaeology of the site

Other Discoveries Many other significant objects were found besides the ship The most important are: a ceremonial helmet, a shield and sword, a lyre, and a silver plate from the Eastern Roman Empire There are many others in the actual burial chamber

Objects in the Chamber These objects were organized in a specific way In the head area there were helmets, silver bowls, and spoons On the right of Raewald’s body was a sword, sword-harness and spear A purse, some shoulder-clasps, and a great buckle were found near his upper body Near his lower body was a drinking horn, which is just a drinking vessel A large quantity of material including metal objects and textiles was folded or packed in heaps on the foot

More Photos of the Other Objects The Great Buckle A drinking horn A sword in a sword harness The silver bowls form the chamber
