The Sutton Hoo excavation reinforced the idea that great civilisations have always walked the sacred earth of the United Kingdom the Anglo-Saxons, with their gold and their rich culture, showed that they were worthy to be part of the ancient British heritage. I always like to think of the Britons as a people who are quite fond of their traditions, and quite proud of their heritage. Since many of these artefacts were from distant countries, its discovery taught the world much about the Anglo-Saxons’ wealth and trading skills, as well as their culture.Īrchaeology is not just about the past, since it can change the way in which we view our own society, too. The treasure that was found inside of the remains of a ship (only its outline was still visible) is thought to belong to King Raedwald, and it consisted of a belt buckle, a shield, a helmet, and beautiful jewellery – amongst other things.
Most importantly, archaeologists found that the Anglo-Saxons, the early inhabitants of England before they were called British, had their own rich culture after the Romans left in the fifth century.
