I *think* that some work on the 1930's spoil heaps at #SuttonHoo was included in Martin Carvers excavations there in the 1980s-90s. Maybe some of the team are here and could verify that?🏺

Out to Sutton Hoo @nationaltrust.org.uk today for my #archaeology fix 😊
The site has so much more than the ship burial of fame 🛳
To walk amongst the burial mounds on the guided tour was just amazing ⛰
Has a fabulous second hand book shop on the site as well 📖 #BookSky #SuttonHoo #Suffolk #heritage

As August is coming to an end, here’s another shot from Sutton Hoo. These are Tanatus Miniatures 7th century Saxons (sadly long OOP). Mound 2 is visible in the background along with the actual moon and @badsquiddogames.bsky.social is hiding nearby!

🤔 Where were the craftspeople behind the Sutton Hoo helmet working? A newly discovered die stamp from Lynsted, Kent, closely comparable to its decorative panels, could point to Kentish workshops. Join Dr Andrew Richardson on 27 Aug in Maidstone. #SuttonHoo #KentArchaeology
