Making no bones

Historic Environmen­t Scotland is funding post-excavation analysis on two recently discovered Viking graves that may form part of a previously unknown cemetery uncovered in Orkney, to unlock stories of Viking life in Scotland more than a thousand years ago. In 2015, human remains were discovered on the northeast coast of Papa Westray, Orkney. Further investigat­ion determined that these discoverie­s were in fact the remains of Viking Age burial sites. www.historicen­vironment.scot
