Abstract

The Ladby ship-burial, excavated in Denmark during 1935, was the precursor of Sutton Hoo, excavated in 1939. Both were ‘ship-moulds’, with the timber vanished but the shape of the vessel left in the earth and marked by its nails. While the British excavated Sutton Hoo and back-filled its barrow, the Danes left Ladby in place and on public display. Now Martin Carver's team is working again at Sutton Hoo though not on the ship-barrow itself; and the Danes have revisited Ladby, where they have made further discoveries in the barrow and made new provision for the ship-mould's continued preservation.
