One of the most unusual discoveries at the site was a woman buried alongside a Viking chariot. The artifacts surrounding her remains, from a string of glass beads to a finely crafted iron blade, suggest she was of high social standing. Photo: @Michael Borre Lundo. They represent a whole new toolkit for further in-depth archaeological discoveries, says Michael Borre Lundo. Photo: @Michael Borre Lundo. Sharing more, Michael Borre Lundo hopes to be able to perform DNA analysis on all these skeletons in the near future, hoping to find more new clues about the Viking era. Photo: @Michael Borre Lundo.
