| Title | The medieval cemetery at Riccall landing: a reappraisal |
| Date | 2008 |
| Abstract | Human skeletons found by the River Ouse at Riccall in the 1950s and 1980s have been linked to the defeat of invading Norsemen in 1066. To test this hypothesis, excavation records and surviving artefacts have been reviewed, and the skeletons have been examined osteologically for the first time. Isotope analysis refutes the conclusion that individuals buried here originated in Scandanavia. |
