The Sutton Hoo Ship with Martin Carver

It’s one of the most well-known burial sites in the world, its treasures drawing thousands upon thousands of people to the British Museum each year, and its discovery the stuff of Hollywood. For over a millennium, the mounds at Sutton Hoo hid not just gold, but the secrets of early medieval shipbuilding. This week, Danièle speaks with Martin Carver about what was found at Sutton Hoo, what we know about the people buried there, and what we can learn from walking – or sailing – in their footsteps.
