The discovery of an early seventh century burial in a cave that's local to me has been making news today. Posting here in case it's of interest. There may be somebody around here who had some involvement in this

Very interesting. The way his legs were crossed and his limbs weighted down makes one wonder if the intent wasnt to make sure that he stayed down even after death.

Indeed. It's not unknown for some burials of that period to be weighed, or even staked, down in the UK and Ireland.

1400 years ? Almost the same gap between now and the current period in ED. Perhaps the commanders discover our skeletons ?
