Archeologists say they're excited about a dig starting today at an Anglo-Saxon burial site in Suffolk.

The project at Sutton Hoo is preparing for the creation of a new £4 million viewing tower there. It is thought the dig - the first in decades at the site - could unearth new treasures.

It is scheduled to last until June.
