 * Open access obituary with a focus on Hawkes' research and how it relates to Kent. Also notes her influence on the understanding of Sutton Hoo. Ashbee was an earlier medieval archaeologist, like Hawkes, and co-directed the Sutton Hoo dig. Well placed to comment on the impact of Hawkes' work on early medieval archaeology.

Other
Volume 11 of Studies in Anglo-Saxon Archaeology and History was a 'tribute to Sonia Hawkes'. May contain some notes about her.
