Available for over a year

Archaeology students from Cambridge have uncovered the remarkable skeleton of a Viking era man, during a training dig just outside the city. It’s just one of several remains found in a mass grave discovered at the nationally important Iron Age hillfort in Wandlebury. Louise Hulland has been hearing about the significance of this almost accidental find. (Photo credit: Cambridge Archaeological Unit/David Matzliach)
