A Select Bibliography On Sutton Hoo, 1939-1993
Compiled by Gregory F. Rose
The following is a select bibliography of the scholarly literature on
Sutton Hoo, 1939-1992. I have endeavored to make it as comprehensive
as possible, consonant with the following provisos: (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. ["Archaeology"] 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 that I apologize in advance.
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 general study, I excluded it. If there are
objections, 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 (Oxford, Oh.,
1992), and, therefore, I have not included its contents in the essay
collections section.
The bibliography is organized into nineteen sections:
1. Journals
2. Excavation Reports and
Plans
3. Museum Handbooks
4. Essay Collections
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.
