Sutton Hoo, St. Sergius and the Sasanians: Anglo-Saxon finds re-interpreted from an eastern perspective
Keywords:
Sutton-Hoo, Sasanian, Anglo-Saxon, Byzantine, Mediterranean, Trade, BurialAbstract
In 1939, excavations at Sutton Hoo in Suffolk revealed the spectacular remains of a rich Anglo-Saxon burial placed in a cabin in the centre of a 27 metre-long ship and sealed by a tumulus (Bruce-Mitford et al. 1975; 1978; Evans (ed.) 1983) (Figures 1–2). The identity of the chieftain buried here has attracted different views, although most favour Raedwald, a king of East Anglia ruling from a major settlement at Rendlesham between c. 599–624/25. His is the richest of a growing number of Anglo-Saxon princely burials (Blackmore, Blair, Hirst and Scull (eds) 2019: 298–303, 313–14; Gittos in press), although Sutton Hoo mound 1 is unique in being the only intact ship-burial (Figure 3)...
