Glad you are back. I appreciate your work posting this and similar articles.

I have to admit to being pleased whenever archaeology confirms sources like the Chronicles, thumbing the revisionist nose. It’s fascinating that Islamic coins were found — nothing moves quicker than cash. How did scholars conclude that the “Repton charnel burial” contained Viking remains, since there were probably lots of slaughtered Anglo-Saxons to be disposed of (DNA wasn’t mentioned, and I’m not sure dessicated bones would work)?
