Bodies exhumed from Viking burial mound

[Heimdallr]

Archaeologists re-opened a Viking burial mound in southeastern Norway's Vestfold County on Monday 10 September, which in 1904 surrendered one of the country's greatest archaeological treasures, the Oseberg Viking longboat, now on display at the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo (see below)...
The archaeologists are seeking to learn more about two women, possibly a queen and a princess, laid to rest there in 834 AD, 1173 years ago.
