Archaeologists have found over 30 graves from the Viking era near Aarhus, Denmark, including a “very rare” coffin of an “important woman” who lived in the 10th century.
Researchers were alerted to the burial site near the town of Lisbjerg, north of Aarhus, after construction work led to the discovery of a trove of artefacts, including pearls, coins, and ceramics. Further excavations revealed that these were gifts deposited in the Viking graves discovered at the site.
