...lead the nation in the study of medieval archeology too.” Carver, who garnered fame for his 10-year excavation of the medieval burial site, spoke about the history of Sutton Hoo’s excavation. The site attracted the attention of archeologists in 1939 when a spirit medium directed an amateur to a ceremonially buried ship, Carver said. But Sutton Hoo remained untouched until Carver’s excavation in 1983, he added. Carver discovered additional burial sites and the graves of several executed men, he said in the lecture.

Going outside the system to save the system may be somewhat unpalatable...
