In September 2020, archaeologists announced the discovery at Oulton, of an Anglo-Saxon cemetery with 17 cremations and 191 burials dating back to the 7th century, comparable to the date of [[Sutton Hoo]] to the south. The graves contained the remains of men, women and children, as well as artefacts including small iron knives and silver pennies, wrist clasps, strings of amber and glass beads. According to Andrew Peachey, who carried out the excavations, the skeletons had mostly vanished because of the highly acidic soil. They, fortunately, were preserved as brittle shapes and “sand silhouettes” in the sand.<ref>{{Cite news|date=2020-09-16|title=Oulton burial site: Sutton Hoo-era Anglo-Saxon cemetery discovered|language=en-GB|work=BBC News|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-suffolk-54177762|access-date=2021-01-23}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Fox|first=Alex|title=This Anglo-Saxon Cemetery Is Filled With Corpses' Ghostly Silhouettes|url=https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/ghostly-anglo-saxon-burials-uncovered-england-180975862/|access-date=2021-01-23|website=Smithsonian Magazine|language=en}}</ref> |
