Researchers suggest the building was a high-status Viking-era manor farm constructed between AD 990 and 1040.

Among the pieces are two combs made of bone or deer antler, one of which has a geometric decoration that evokes parallels with objects identified in the Frisian region of the Netherlands.

Discovered in 2014 near Kirkcudbright, the Galloway Hoard became one of the UK’s most significant archaeological finds of the century.

Archaeology director says the piece comes "from what must have been one of Scandinavia's most magnificent helmets."

DNA analysis shows 25% of genes in a man buried in York came from northern Europe.

Excavations revealed the graves of three highly respected and wealthy Viking women from the early ninth century.

Discovery challenges assumptions about the uniformity of Viking settlements in the North Atlantic.

The discovery includes at least 139 graves and burial mounds dating back more than 1,200 years.

Archaeology isn't just limited to dirt, rocks, and water. Plenty of major historical discoveries were also found trapped away in the ice. 

Researchers believe that the discovery of reindeer antlers as a source for hair combs connected different regions through trade efforts.
