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.
