The Sutton Hoo story : encounters with early England
M. O. H. Carver (Author)
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 elements of archaeological mystery: seventeen mounds, buried treasure, and sacrificed horses. In this very accessible book, the author explains what we know of this site, at which the leaders of the Dark Age kingdom of East Anglia signaled 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 archeology
