Viking War Grave
Interesting find!:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/e...et/8563377.stm Gehyrst þu, sælida, hwæt þis folc segeð? Hi willað eow to gafole garas syllan, ættrynne ord and ealde swurd, þa heregeatu þe eow æt hilde ne deah. Hearest thou, seafarer, what this folk sayeth? They will to you tribute of spears give, deadly points, and time-tested swords, such war-gear that you in battle not profit from... From "The Battle of Maldon"

"On Friday, officials revealed that analysis of the men's teeth shows they were Vikings, executed with sharp blows to the head around a thousand years ago."
