New data show that human remains found in a mass grave in Dorset, originally thought to be Romans, date from a time of frequent Viking raids on Britain.
The decaptitated Scandinavian men have been carbon-14 dated to between AD 910 and AD 1030.
The analysis of their teeth by the NERC Isotope Geoscience Laboratories NIGL show that they came from an area of much colder climate than Britain, typical of central Norway or Sweden.
