Subject: BS: viking burial - Ardnamurchan Scotland
My newspaper had a one-sentence article about this:

boat burial

The sight of the corroded and useless weapons is thought-provoking on the day that Gadhafi is dead. Nothing violent lasts, does it? Not here on earth, anyway.

Several sources mention that pottery was found at the burial. I would like to see it, even though pottery is not glamourous. The sword, the shield and the axe are ruined, but the pottery would show us something of this people's art.

Perhaps it needs to be restored and will be displayed someday.
