Dozens of ‘exceptionally well-preserved’ Viking skeletons unearthed in Denmark: ‘Truly unusual’

Fifty "exceptionally well-preserved" Viking skeletons have been unearthed in Denmark by archaeologists from the Museum Odense, west of Copenhagen, along with five cremated graves. 

"It is truly unusual to find so many well-preserved skeletons at once, like those discovered in Åsum," museum curator Michael Borre Lundø said in a statement. 

"This discovery offers extraordinary opportunities to perform a wide range of scientific analyses, which can reveal more about the general health, diet, and origins of those buried.
