Archaeologists in Denmark Find 50 Viking Skeletons

Archaeologists in Denmark found a big Viking era-burial site with 50 well-preserved skeletons. These skeletons provided information about the lives of the Vikings, who were famous for sailing long distances in the Middle Ages. The skeletons were found near Odense, Denmark's third-largest city. They were protected from rotting because of high water levels and good soil conditions. They also discovered rare items like knives, glass pearls, and brooches from the years 850 to 970. According to the excavationists, most of the people buried were farmers, but one woman of higher status had a special silver knife and a piece of rare glass with her. The archaeologists took soil samples to look for pollen, which can show what season the person was buried in and what they might have worn.
