In the 6th century AD, when the Sutton Wharf Cemetery was built, Britain began to form the seven small kingdoms of the Anglo-Saxon Clan, and the owner of this cemetery was very likely one of the kings.
Due to the lack of detailed written records during this period, traditional historians often refer to it as the "Dark Ages."
Although modern archaeology and the discovery of important historical ruins have made people realize that this era was not as barbaric as previously imagined, it is still very difficult to piece together the true history of that era based only on the unearthed cultural relics.
Under these circumstances, British archaeology attaches great importance to any historic ruins of this era, hoping to gradually restore the truth of that time from these scattered pieces of information.
