Salme: Ancient Viking Burial Ships

We travel back to the Europe of over a thousand years ago, to discover what it meant to be a Viking; we also meet the team behind the present day excavations and understand the process of exhuming one of the most exciting archaeological finds.

Viking Age researcher Neil Price takes us to Sweden, the likely origin of the Vikings found in Saaremaa; theories about what happened 1,300 years ago and why 41 Vikings, along with their possessions, were given a ship burial.
