Dr Angela Care Evans, retired curator of early Anglo-Saxon Antiquities at the British Museum, excavated at Sutton Hoo in the nineteen-sixties and was a contributing author and editor of the British Museum reports. She is working on the publication of the finds from the most recent excavations on the National Trust site at Sutton Hoo and completing her catalogue of Anglo-Saxon sword fittings.
Dr. Noël Adams is Deputy Curator at the Furusiyya Art Foundation. For many years she was a Special Assistant in the Department of Prehistory and Europe at the British Museum. Her doctoral thesis on Late Antique and Migration Period garnet cloisonné jewellery was written at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London. She publishes widely on material culture of the first millennium AD ranging from Late Roman hanging basins to garnet sealstones from the Kushan and Hunnic periods from the Northwest Frontier of India. She has travelled extensively in Europe and Russia, including the Caucasus. Her exhibitions include two on Anglo-Saxon archaeology at the National Trust Visitor Centre at Sutton Hoo, another on Late Medieval seal dies at the British Museum and the Thaw collection of Early Medieval objects at the Morgan Museum and Library in New York. Most recently she has co-edited and contributed papers to volumes in the British Museum Research Publication series: Good Impressions: Image and Authority in Medieval Seals (2008); 'Intelligible Beauty': Recent Research on Byzantine Jewellery (2010) and ‘Gems of Heaven’: Recent Research on Engraved Gemstones in Late Antiquity, AD 200-600 (2011). Her catalogue for the Morgan library: Bright Lights in the Dark Ages: Early Medieval Ornaments in the Thaw Collection is in print.
