Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
In the 1970s and 80s, archaeological excavations around St Wystan’s Church in Repton revealed evidence of the 873 AD Viking Great Army winter camp, along with a number of burials with Scandinavian-type gravegoods. A charnel underneath a low mound in the Vicarage garden contained the disarticulated remains of at least 264 individuals, proposed to have been associated with the Great Army’s presence in Repton. Here, strontium isotope analysis is used on burials from Repton to investigate geographical origins. The results show diverse origins among those buried in the charnel, consistent with locations across north-western Europe. | ||
