Sutton Hoo

Autor: Martin Carver
Data wydania: 2000
The Sutton Hoo site is one of the most important archaeological discoveries ever made in Britain, and arguably the world. Since the initial discovery of the ship burial in 1938, when newspaper reports with banner headlines kept the British public informed about the event, the mound burials and surrounding cemetery have yielded a wealth of archaeological evidence as well as glittering treasures.

Beginning with the excavations, he goes on to tell the story of the site itself.
