Default Viking Boat Burial Found?

http://www.24hourmuseum.org.uk/nwh/ART19871.html




Quote: Archaeologists in York believe a hoard of treasure recently found by metal detectorists could lead to the first discovery of a Viking boat burial in England.

Simon Holmes, Finds Liaison Officer for the Portable Antiquities Scheme in Yorkshire, told the 24 Hour Museum that certain artefacts suggest this "awesome" find could be one of the most significant discoveries in the British Isles.

"Some of the finds are boats nails," he said. "95% of me is happy that we’ve got a boat burial. There is a very, very strong possibility that England has a first!"
