A Viking grave
In this clip, an archaeologist explains to children visiting a museum why the discovery of a Viking grave is important. This is because in Viking burials, objects important to the person were buried along with the body. These objects tell archaeologists a lot about the buried person. For example, a sickle found in one grave is evidence that Vikings could be farmers as well as fighters and raiders.
