It is #SuttonHoo day with the release of #TheDig on @NetflixUK

Begun in 1938 by archaeologist Basil Brown, the excavations revealed a wealth of Anglo-Saxon artefacts including a 27m long ship!

To celebrate we are sharing some of our links to the fascinating discovery.
In April 1940 we published 'The Excavation of the Sutton Hoo Ship-burial' by archaeologist Charles W. Phillips FSA in The Antiquaries Journal, v. 20, pt. 2.

Images include plans, drawings & photographs of the site, the ship & the artefacts

Although Phillips took over leading the excavation in 1939, his report credits Brown's work: "In all this Brown showed great care, and it is owing to his skill in this early stage of the excavation that it was later possible to achieve such a complete presentation of the ship.”

The Society later backed & gave substantial funding to further excavations at #SuttonHoo, led by Martin Carver in the 1980s-90s. The report was co-published by SAL and the British Museum in 2005.
