More information will be added over time but it is hoped that even the meager information supplied here will be of some use. Any list of {{Viking burials is going to be open to discussion.

I would suggest that the cut off date for the Petersen type C-D spearhead is too early and that Ottonian manuscripts dating to the early C11th still show this type of spear in use.
