Ship burial from Sutton Hoo

Ship burial from Sutton Hoo

View of the excavation of the ship-burial at Sutton Hoo. Black and white photograph centering the impression of the Sutton Hoo ship in the ground, with rivets and impressions of individual planks clearly visible, though the wood of the ship has rotted away. The British Museum's catalogue dates the ship's rivets to the early 7th century (https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/H_1967-1006-656).
