This BBC documentary explores Sutton Hoo, the astonishing Anglo-Saxon ship burial unearthed in Suffolk that transformed our picture of early England. It examines the treasures found there, from the famous helmet to intricate gold and garnet work, and what they reveal about a supposedly dark age. Along the way it shows how a single dig rewrote assumptions about craft, trade, and power in seventh-century Britain. For lovers of history and archaeology, it is a fascinating close look at a national treasure. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
