In these graves, archaeologists found skeletons laid on their backs with well-preserved tools in bone and horn. Numerous imported objects testify to good connections with the Scandinavian mainland, Denmark and Germany.

For forty nights and days
Followed in Jesus’ ways,
Sure guard behind Him kept,
Tears like a lover wept.”

That will prove worth your telling,

I sink from reverie to rest.
An horrid vision seized my head,
I saw the graves give up their dead.”
