 What on earth is the Sutton Who burial? Sutton Who is a place in Woodbridge in Suffolk, England? Sutton Who is an old English name? Sut combined with Tun means the southern farmstead. Ho refers to a hill. Sutton Who is the site of two early medieval cemeteries dating from the 6th to 7th centuries? The cemeteries are located close to the River Debernestuary. They appear as a group of approximately 20 earthen mounds that rise slightly above the horizon. The Sutton Who site was first excavated by Basil Brown in 1938, under the patronage of the landowner Edith Priti. When its significance became apparent, national experts took over. Excavation of one of the hills revealed an undisturbed ship burial with a wealth of Anglo-Saxon artifacts. It became known as the Sutton Who ship burial. The burial chamber comprised of a 27-meter-long ship full of dazzling riches. The artifacts found in this excavation is considered the greatest treasure ever discovered in the UK. Findings include a ceremonial helmet, a shield and sword. There were also items made from gold, shoulder clasps, a belt buckle, and the lid of a purse with golden coins. And there were silverware, spoons, bowls and a silver platter. These items indicate that the person buried in the grave had great wealth. Scholars believe Redwold, king of East Anglia, is the most likely person to have been buried in the ship. The site is important in establishing the history of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of East Anglia, as well as illuminating the early Anglo-Saxon period which lacked historical documentation. Most of the objects are now held by the British Museum. However, a nearby visitor center also displays original artifacts, replicas of finds and a reconstruction of the Sutton Who ship burial chamber.
