Subject: Sutton Hoo Bibliography

Date: 29 Jun 1993 18:56:00 -0400

Organization: MIT LCS guest machine
At long last, here is the select bibliography on Sutton Hoo, 1939-

1992. I call it a select bibliography because (1) I have

systematically excluded newspaper articles and articles in popular

magazines, (2) I have made no effort to cite all the literature on

all excavations of AS cemeteries and related sites (such a

bibliography would be three or four times the size of this -- if you

are interested in these studies, consult section 9.d. ["Archaeology:

Pagan cemeteries and Sutton Hoo"] in the annual bibliography at the

back of each issue of the journal _Anglo-Saxon England_ and look at

the bibliographies in each volume of the excavation report edited by

R.L.S. Bruce-Mitford [listed below]) and (3) I have undoubtedly

missed something in the scholarly literature which I should have

included, for which I apologize.
There are always scholarly disputes about the relevance or

irrelevance of a citation for inclusion. I have endeavored to be

conservative in the selection criteria. If I had reasons to question

the relevance of a more general study, I excluded it. If there are

objections to this method, the fault is my alone.
Unfortunately I have not yet received a copy of R. Farrell and C.

Newman de Vegvar, eds., _Sutton Hoo: Fifty Years After_ (Kalamazoo,

forthcoming), which is still in press, and, therefore, I have neither

cited it nor included its contents in the anthologies section.

organized the citations under nineteen topical divisions:

1. Journals

2. Excavation Reports and Plans

3. Museum Handbooks

4. Anthologies

5. Theory and Interpretation

6. AS, Merovingian and Scandinavian Background

7. Inhumation Studies

8. The Ship

9. The Purse and Coins

10. The Whetstone

11. The Weapons and Armor

12. The Jewellery

13. Textiles

14. The Spoons

15. Other Items

16. Palaeo-environmental Studies

17. Sutton Hoo and OE Literature

18. Legal Issues

19. Bibliographies and Reviews

To avoid duplication, when a citation could have fit under more than

one topic, I placed it under the most relevant topic. No effort was

made to disaggregate the contents of anthologies or the excavation

report by topic; contents for each volume are listed under the

volume's primary heading.

do not reprint or otherwise distribute this bibliography without

prior permission from the author (permission may be obtained by

containing the author by email at greg at bronze.lcs.mit.edu).
