Over 50 well-preserved Viking skeletons were unearthed over the past six months, providing rare insights into how the Vikings lived and traveled.
The discovery offers opportunities for scientific analyses to reveal details about the Vikings' health, diet, and origins, which is described as truly unusual.
The 2,000-square-meter Viking burial ground was used during the 9th and 10th centuries and was discovered on the outskirts of the village of Åsum.
The skeletons are so well-preserved that archaeologists believe they can extract DNA samples for analysis, potentially revealing familial relationships.
Several skeletons indicate high social standing, such as a woman buried in a wagon hull with valuable items like a glass bead necklace and iron key.
Other skeletons were found buried with jewelry and artifacts, like a metal ring around a woman's neck, a red glass bead, and a special buckle.
