[edit] Statement by compiler of article in present form (25 May 2007)

This article was not prepared as part of any Wikiproject, but in order to provide a clear and publicly-available statement as to the differences between the facts of the 1938-1939 Sutton Hoo excavation (and those involved in it), and the narrative purporting to represent those facts which is contained in the novel of this name, newly published. The above template and evaluation has been added on the assumption that this is merely a descriptive article, whereas in fact it is an analytical and critical one comparing a set of facts with a set of fictions. The evaluation contained in the template is therefore irrelevant to the purpose of the article as it was written. Dr Steven Plunkett 18:32, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
