Saxon Women Warriors
www.lothene.org
Lothene Experimental Archaeology is an Edinburgh-based group involved in researching and recreating aspects of life in Scotland in the past. The group was one of those used by Time Team for the Roxburgh programme in the 2004 series to recreate an 11th-century medieval market. As well as covering aspects of everyday life in Scotland during this period, their website contains a large amount of information on the Anglo-Saxons. It is particularly strong on women warriors, and has an extensive section on Women as warriors in history, from 3500BC to the 20th century. There is a section on Saxon and Viking women warriors.

Sutton Hoo Society
www.suttonhoo.org
Sutton Hoo is a group of low grassy burial mounds in south east Suffolk. In 1939, excavations brought to light the richest burial ever discovered in Britain, an Anglo-Saxon ship containing the treasure of one of the earliest English kings, Rædwald, King of East Anglia. Further excavations, completed in 1992, proved the site to be a complex collection of burials, some royal, others possibly the victims of judicial execution. Most recently, excavations in advance of building work in 2000, uncovered the remains of another, earlier cemetery. Full details about visiting one of Britain's most important archaeological sites are available on this website, which offers an online interactive tour of the site. Details of how to join the Sutton Hoo Society are also provided on the website.

Regia Anglorum
www.regia.org
Anglo-Saxon, Viking and Norman re-enactment society, used by Time Team on the 2001 live, who modestly describe themselves as 'probably the best early medieval (or Dark Ages) re-enactment society in the world'. Their website includes a short history of Anglo-Saxon England and the entertaining virtual village of Wichamstow, with a wealth of information about everyday life in the Anglo-Saxon world.
