Sutton Hoo Ship Burial, c. 700 (British Museum, London)
More free lessons at: http://www.khanacademy.org/video?v=dWxcQZBM3eQ
Multiple bronze, gold and silver objects of Anglo Saxon origin, found in Suffolk, England, including: a helmet, sceptre, sword, hanging bowl, bowls and spoons, shoulder clasps, a belt buckle, and purse lid.
Speakers: Dr. Beth Harris, Dr. Steven Zucker
This is about the Anglo-Saxon ship burial under Mound One at Sutton Hoo, in Suffolk England. It was discovered in the summer of 1939 and is one of the richest finds in English archaeology.
The excavation was begun by Basil Brown, a local, self-taught archaeologist, hired by Mrs Edith Pretty, the owner of Sutton Hoo, and was completed by a team of professional archaeologists.
It is believed the grave might have been that of King Raedwald of the East Angles (reigned c. 599-624), who, according to the Venerable Bede, converted to Christianity, but also continued to worship the Anglo-Saxons' traditional pagan deities.
The Anglo-Saxons came to Britain in the fifth and sixth centuries from homelands in north-west Europe. This was after the collapse of Roman rule in Britain, and before the Viking invasions of c. 800-1035.

Most Germanic pagan cultures practised cremation, sometimes burning boats with the dead but sometimes boats and the dead were buried unburned. Sutton Hoo was an isolated example of this in England and most non-isolated cases of non-cremated boat burial in the Vendel era occur in the Mälaren valley in Sweden. There are 19 boats from 9 sites in Sweden, 4 of which are in Uppland.
This video looks specifically at Valsgärde in Uppland which is near to Uppsala. 5 boat graves have been found at Valsgärde, 3 of which are dated to Vendel period, the 6th to 8th centuries, the other 2 to the Viking era.
The boat burials in Uppland and the contents of the graves have led to many comparisons with Sutton Hoo in England. Such a specific burial custom indicates a shared religious tradition and the presence of similar religious imagery, such as the horned spear dancer motif on the pressblechs of the helmet, compounds this theory.

The Oseberg ship is a well-preserved Viking ship discovered in a large burial mound at the Oseberg farm near Tønsberg in Vestfold county, Norway.[1] The burial mound contained numerous grave goods and two female human skeletons. The ships internment into its burial mound dates from 834, but parts of the ship date from around 800, and the ship itself is thought to be older. It was excavated by Norwegian archaeologist Haakon Shetelig and Swedish archaeologist Gabriel Gustafson in 1904-1905. This ship is widely celebrated and has been called one of the finest finds to have survived the Viking Age. The ship and some of its contents are displayed at the Viking Ship Museum, Bygdøy, Oslo.
The Gogstad ship is a Viking ship found beneath a burial mound at Gogstad farm in Sandar, Sandefjord, Vestfold, Norway. Excavation of Gogstadhaugen or Kongshaugen (from the Old Norse words kong meaning king and haugr meaning mound) revealed a ship burial dated back to 9th century. The site was excavated in 1880 by Nicolay Nicolaysen.
The Gogstad ship is clinker-built, constructed largely of oak. The ship is 24 m long and 5 m wide. It is the largest in the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo. The ship was built to carry 32 oarsmen, and the oar holes could be hatched down when the ship was under sail. It utilized a square sail of c. 110 square meters, which, it is estimated, could propel the ship to over 12 knots. While the ship was traveling in shallow water, the rudder could be raised. Dendrochronological dating suggests that the ship was built of timber that was felled around 890 AD.
The ship's design has been demonstrated to be very seaworthy. The Viking, an exact replica of the Gogstad ship crossed the Atlantic Ocean from Bergen, Norway to be exhibited at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago during 1893. Other known replicas include the Gaia, which currently has Sandefjord as its home port, and the Munin, (a half scale replica) located in Vancouver, BC.

A ship burial or boat grave is a burial in which a ship or boat is used either as a container for the dead and the grave goods, or as a part of the grave goods itself. If the ship is very small, it is called a boat grave. This style of burial was used among the Germanic peoples, particularly by Viking Age Norsemen.
A unique eye-witness account of a 10th-century ship burial among the Volga Vikings is given by Arab traveller Ibn Fadlan.[citation needed]

(Gunnhild Røthe`s thesis based on Gro Steinsland`s work) Was it the grave of two völur (witch-priestesses or seeresses), masters of the art of seidr (a Norse form of witchcraft and shamanism)?

(Gunnhild Røthe`s thesis based on Gro Steinsland`s work) Was it the grave of two völur (witch-priestesses or seeresses), masters of the art of seidr (a Norse form of witchcraft and shamanism)? (Brit Solli`s thesis) Or perhaps a combination of all these things and something more? (My thesis, yay!)

The Oseberg ship is a well-preserved Viking ship discovered in a large burial mound at the Oseberg farm near Tønsberg in Vestfold county, Norway.[1] The burial mound contained numerous grave goods and two female human skeletons. The ships internment into its burial mound dates from 834, but parts of the ship date from around 800, and the ship itself is thought to be older. It was excavated by Norwegian archaeologist Haakon Shetelig and Swedish archaeologist Gabriel Gustafson in 1904-1905. This ship is widely celebrated and has been called one of the finest finds to have survived the Viking Age. The ship and some of its contents are displayed at the Viking Ship Museum, Bygdøy, Oslo.
The Gogstad ship is a Viking ship found beneath a burial mound at Gogstad farm in Sandar, Sandefjord, Vestfold, Norway. Excavation of Gogstadhaugen or Kongshaugen (from the Old Norse words kong meaning king and haugr meaning mound) revealed a ship burial dated back to 9th century. The site was excavated in 1880 by Nicolay Nicolaysen.
The Gogstad ship is clinker-built, constructed largely of oak. The ship is 24 m long and 5 m wide. It is the largest in the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo. The ship was built to carry 32 oarsmen, and the oar holes could be hatched down when the ship was under sail. It utilized a square sail of c. 110 square meters, which, it is estimated, could propel the ship to over 12 knots. While the ship was traveling in shallow water, the rudder could be raised. Dendrochronological dating suggests that the ship was built of timber that was felled around 890 AD.
The ship's design has been demonstrated to be very seaworthy. The Viking, an exact replica of the Gogstad ship crossed the Atlantic Ocean from Bergen, Norway to be exhibited at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago during 1893. Other known replicas include the Gaia, which currently has Sandefjord as its home port, and the Munin, (a half scale replica) located in Vancouver, BC.
