Abstract:		 Reports 1987-8 discoveries. Mound 2 (first explored by B Brown in 1938) is now known to contain a rectangular grave chamber for a burial whose robbed-out scraps proclaim a status and date close to that of the great ship mound; the chamber had been covered over with a ship whose rivets indicate a length of at least 10m, perhaps 20m. 'Mound 5' contained ten 'sand-body' graves set round a central pit with a twice or thrice robbed cremation. Dynastic use of the cemetery now seems clear. Below mounds 2 and 5 are prehistoric ploughmarks, a round house, and Late Neo-EBA pottery and flints; a field system shows on air photographs. Field survey of about 5 500 ha in 20m transects has been done and cooperation with the local metal detector club has been useful; the growth and shifting of population can be mapped. Technical work continued to use ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma Emission Spectrometry) on the chemical signatures of the 'sand-bodies', giving hope of chemical recovery of the faintest traces of inhumations (see also 89/1060). Geophysical survey and subsurface interface radar survey (SIR) are also reported. The Sutton Hoo Research Trust hopes to continue operations after 1992 (as a field school rather than a tourist entertainment).
