@caitlinrgreen @Rachel5742 Are there another example of this ship?
@Archatgs @Rachel5742 Other ship burials in England, tho' not quite like this; others on continent
@caitlinrgreen @Rachel5742 to which groups of people the other ship burials belong?
@Archatgs @Rachel5742 Cf the burials at Vendel, Sweden; links to various ex here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_burial …
.@caitlinrgreen @Rachel5742 NB. I know from Ibn Fadlan that Volga Vikings burn their dieds, in ships, so it contradicts w/ the link.
@caitlinrgreen @Rachel5742 >& as we know there are Ship burials in Scandinavia, belong to Scandinavian Vikings.>
,@caitlinrgreen @Rachel5742 > so can we say: There were cultural difference(s) between Rus (Volga Vikings) & Western (or other) Vikings?>
@Archatgs @Rachel5742 Could be, or could just be natural variation eg Scyld Sceafing's ship-burial in Beowulf, which sees ship set adrift
@Archatgs @Rachel5742 (tho' def significant cultural+temporal distance between Volga burial and Sutton Hoo which needs to be kept in mind!)
