@caitlinrgreen Too much to take in on one reading, what a great title to the publication though. Perfect.
@JohnNewsham1 Agreed on both counts---a great book title and a fascinating, wide-ranging article! :)
these really are amazingly beautiful - where are the Sutton Hoo finds on display? British Museum?
Yes, held there :)
@caitlinrgreen So love the Sutton Hoo goods. Used to visit them all the time as a break from research in the British Library
@DrMLivingstone that sounds a very pleasant way to take a break! :)
@caitlinrgreen One of the several things I miss with the new library :-)
@caitlinrgreen @BradshawFND I drew this for a school project many years ago. :)
@caitlinrgreen from ur mentioning of this moustache man I remembr a fact frm cards that out of 4 king cards 1 of the kings is clean shaven:)
