SUMMARY:Sunday Afternoon Talks: SUTTON HOO\, Part 2
DESCRIPTION:“The Sutton Hoo Treasures – Glitter and Understanding of a 
 Vanished Time”\n\n\n\nThe Sutton Hoo burial ship is the largest hoard 
 when measured comprehensively over both variety and value in the British 
 Isles to date.  Some hoards have many more coins\, broaches\, or torques\; 
 others have more gold or silver\, none match the range\, workmanship\, and 
 embedded value found in the Sutton Hoo royal burial ship.\n\nAside from the 
 exquisite workmanship of the individual accoutrements\, we find the 
 personal gameboard of the king. The name of this game is “Rebels and 
 Thanes”. It consists as larger force of rebels who are attempting to 
 immobilize and capture the king while his loyal thanes (royal retainers) 
 are screening his movements as they try to reach safety in any one of four 
 loyal fortresses.  A poignant glimpse of the 8th century CE political 
 landscape if there ever was one!  Equally interesting are feasting bowls 
 and other banquet items some from as far away as Byzantium.  Nothing is 
 forgotten\, there are even pieces of a tarlike substance\, bitumen\, to 
 patch the funeral boat (should it leak) and payment for the steersman\, 
 sailing master\, and crew in the form of golden coins and bars. Join us for 
 comprehensive view of these items and many others.\n\nWe will also cover 
 the scientific methods applied to determine the markup\, origin\, hidden 
 stories of particular items of the hoard.  These laboratory archeology 
 insights will complete the picture. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGuest Speaker:  Bill 
 Preinitz\n\nFREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!
