  • The Snape Anglo-Saxon Cemetery is a place of burial dated to the 6th century AD located on Snape Common, near to the town of Aldeburgh in Suffolk, Eastern England. Dating to the early part of the Anglo-Saxon Era of English history, it contains a variety of different forms of burial, with inhumation and cremation burials being found in roughly equal proportions. The site is also known for the inclusion of a high status ship burial. A number of these burials were included within burial mounds. The first recorded excavation of the site was conducted by antiquarians in 1827, with a later, more thorough investigation taking place in 1862 under the control of landowner Septimus Davidson. Artefacts from the earliest excavations soon disappeared, although important finds uncovered from the 1862 excavation included a glass claw beaker and the Snape Ring, now housed in The British Museum, London. During the 20th century, the heathland that the cemetery was on was given over to farmland, with a road and house being constructed atop the site. Today, the burial mounds themselves are not accessible to the public, although the artefacts uncovered by the excavation are on display at the Aldeburgh Museum in the nearby coastal town of Aldeburgh.

  • Le bateau de Snape est un bateau tombe datant du Ve-VIe siècle découvert à Snape dans le Suffolk, près d'Aldeburgh en Est-Anglie. Un groupe de monticules se trouvant là a été fouillé en 1862 et les restes d'un bateau à clin d'une quinzaine de mètres de longueur a été dégagé du plus large d'entre eux. Les objets trouvés dans la tombe incluent des fragments d'un calice en verre de couleur verte du style Anglo-Saxon primitif, ainsi qu'un anneau en or de la période romaine tardive. En se référant à ces trouvailles, la tombe est datée du Ve ou du VIe siècle. Des cheveux humains auraient également été trouvés. La connaissance de ce site aida l'archéologue Basil Brown à comprendre la nature du site de Sutton Hoo dès qu'il réalisa que ce dernier avait la même configuration, à savoir celle d'un bateau tombe. Les trouvailles ainsi que le compte-rendu des fouilles sont gardés au muséum d'Aldeburgh. (fr)

  • "Although none of the excavators appear to have had any previous excavation experience, or indeed special knowledge of archaeology, they nevertheless carried out the excavation in an exemplary way, for which we owe them a great debt. In the first place, they were not treasure hunters... The reason for the excavation was their own intellectual curiosity." (en)
