SUTTON HOO, SUFFOLK. REPORT ON GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY, DECEMBER 2001
Author(s): Paul Linford
Magnetometer surveys were carried out in the North Field west of the new visitors' centre at Sutton Hoo as well as the area immediately north of the Anglo-Saxon tumuli. The work was prompted by the recent discovery of Anglo-Saxon cremations and inhumations during the construction of the centre and the concern that the extents of both this new burial ground and the known area around the upstanding tumuli may not be accurately known. There was also interest in testing whether the newer generation of caesium vapour magnetometers might prove more sensitive to archaeological features than previous geophysical techniques employed at the site. Hence, both caesium and fluxgate instruments were used to carry out the surveys.
