Festival of Archaeology 13th-28th July

I read about this festival in my National Trust magazine. I didn't know we had a Council for British Archaeology, but I'm so pleased that we do! Britain has such a rich archaeological heritage, and we are still finding amazing things. I visited Sutton Hoo, in Suffolk, last year for the first time, and found out that when the remains of the Anglo-Saxon ship/burial chamber were made in 1939, they didn't find a body because it had dissolved! All the treasures in there, which are now in the British Museum, indicated that it was a royal burial but to this day we don't know for sure who was buried in that boat.

I'm hoping there will be some archaeological sites near here for my guests to visit, as part of this festival. It seems like they are still putting the programme together.
