Although the English county of Suffolk in eastern England starts as an administrative unit after the Anglo-Saxon settlement, evidence of human activity in Suffolk stretches back over 700,000 years, with prehistoric sites among the earliest known in northern Europe. It emerged after the Dark Ages as the southern part of the Kingdom of East Anglia, and became a distinct entity during the early medieval period, with important settlements at Sudbury and Ipswich.
