Digging comes to an end - Sutton Hoo S2 (Patreon)

We have officially finished our second excavation season at Sutton Hoo.

After months of planning and four intense weeks in the field, it’s time to pack away the diggers, trowels, and sieves, and bring this chapter to a close.

This season, we built on last year’s work with expanded geophysical surveys, three new trenches (including one in River View Field) and multiple test pits conducted by our very own Patreon Volunteers! These efforts have given us incredible new insights into the site’s significance, revealing more about how it may have been used during the Anglo-Saxon period and even expanding on the earlier story.

None of this would have been possible without you. We’re beyond proud of the global community that continues to support us on all of our projects, and we want to say a huge thank you for this continued support and enthusiasm. You’ve made this journey unforgettable!

Although the digging is done, we’ve got a lots and lots of Sutton Hoo content still to share with you. Over the past month, we’ve been compiling behind the scenes footage, extended interviews, and Masterclasses, and we’ll be releasing something new every week, exclusively here on Patreon. So don’t go anywhere!

With the final trench now being backfilled, it’s time to trade our trowels for lab coats as we begin the post-excavation phase.

Thank you again for being part of this incredible adventure.

With lots of love and gratitude,
