Welcome
After the Roman army withdrew from Britain in 410 CE groups of Germanic peoples from northwest Europe crossed the North Sea to settle parts of southern and eastern Britain. Eventually a new Anglo-Saxon culture and several distinct kingdoms emerged.
The early Anglo Saxons did not leave us written records but the objects they placed in graves give us some insight into their world.
The history mystery video introduces you to Sutton Hoo, a medieval burial site discovered in County Suffolk, England – a site with many mysteries uncovered over the last 100 years. The video sets up specific investigations for you to explore in truly interactive ways through map analysis, an archaeological dig, picture analysis, museum presentations, and reflection activities.
Sift through the evidence of time, make decisions, and solve historical mysteries for yourselves!
