Wow! That really is a potential a game changer in terms of how we understand the Picts.

Yup, its big isn't it? Aberdeen Uni have been carrying out a power of excavations across the north east and as far up as the Black Isle as part of their Northern Picts Project with some interesting stuff coming up. Nothing on this scale before though

Neat story.  Always interesting to see how time and new technology can improve what is known about a site.

Wow! Has the potential to teach us at least as much as the Towton graves

In 1491, French forces laid siege to the city of Rennes. A team of researchers have now discovered two mass graves that contain the remains of over thirty soldiers who fought and died during the conflict.
