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.
Since I do not have the time to annotate this bibliography, I have
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.
I am making this bibliography available as a research tool. Please
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).
