                            Sutton Hoo:Anglo-Saxon Mound 1 Ship Burial

   The intent of this research is to postulate the identity of the individual commemorated by the Sutton Hoo Mound 1 Ship Burial, found in Suffolk, England. Through analysis of the objects found within the ship burial as well as the mediums from which the objects were constructed, the status of the memorialized is evaluated based upon the materials used. Further exploration into similar ship burials located in Norway and Sweden will constitute the comparative portion of the presentation. Ultimately, this project will attempt to hypothesize the status of the individual buried within the Sutton Hoo Mound 1 Ship as reflected in the surviving artifacts.
