  3. In the year of 1938, the Sutton Hoo treasure was discovered by Basil Brown while investigating for Mrs. Edith Pretty. Evidence has helped to narrow down the number of possible owners. The discovered coins are dated between 575 and 620 AD. This can mean that the treasure belonged to one of four East Anglian kings. • East Anglian kings: Raedwald, Eorpwald, Sigebert, and Ecric. The Who and When Questions Mrs. Edith Pretty Basil Brown

  4. The Where Question Sutton Hoo was discovered in an estate that is near Woodbridge, Suffolk, England. Sutton Hoo is on a steep slope that overlooks the River Deben in East Anglia. After Mrs. Edith Pretty noticed mounds, excavation began to discover what the mounds were. Original records of excavation are not present because soon after the discovery of Sutton Hoo, war occurred.

  5. The What Question The Sutton Hoo treasure was buried beneath a mound. It is a 30 meter long ship. In its center was a ruined burial chamber the size of a small room. Inside there were weapons, armor, gold coins, garnet fittings, silver vessels, silver mounted drinking horns and cups, and clothes. No actual body was found.

  6. We have been able to learn more about the Anglo Saxon times in Britain through its craftsmanship that illustrate the strong Saxon connections. Sutton Hoo, the largest and most complete Anglo-Saxon ship found, shows a mixture of Christian and pagan traditions because it’s on the margin between myth, legend, and historical documentation. Many connect these findings to Beowulf, an epic poem, and other works. The Why Questions Gold buckle Purse lid Shoulder clasps

  7. The How Question How did there get to be a pagan burial loaded with treasures but “largely spoken” evidence of Christianity? While what is believed to be the body of a king’s absence can be explained by acidic erosion, evidence of Christianity’s presence in the Anglian land at that time is less clear. Though Christian artifacts asserts that there was some interest in the faith, the presence of Christianity is overstated. Anglian king assumed to be buried here most likely represents the beginning of Christianity, since there were Christian artifacts present, despite a heavily pagan burial. (Symbol of king) These silver spoons with crosses running along the middle of the heads with “Paulos and Saulos” inscriptions are compared to a cross, the symbol of Jesus’ eternal love and Paul, the disciple known for his evangelism in the Bible. Object that asserts Christianity of whole group of people , found amongst sea of pagan treasures
