Prehistoric sites in Suffolk

 Sutton Hoo
  

Sutton Hoo In 1939 archaeologists unearthed an astonishing Anglo-Saxon ship burial in Woodbridge, Suffolk; astonishing both for the state of preservation of the objects within the tomb, but also astonishing for the sheer rich quality of the artifacts. The burial goods from Sutton Hoo are remarkable - gold weapons and armour, inlaid ornaments, silver and tableware. Also found with the body was a purse containing 37 gold Merovingian (Gaulish) gold coins dating from the 620's AD.
