Mystery of the 'couple' buried arm in arm 1,000 years ago: Not husband and wife but Saxon warriors Posted: 2 years ago by AutumnLotus
For a thousand years they have lain side by side in a rough earth grave, one throwing a skeletal arm across the other. Believed to be Saxon warriors, they are thought to have died together and been buried together as brothers in arms.

A great story lies there. I know with science and technology that a very close scenario can be made. I wonder what they will find.

Doesn't really mean they *weren't* lovers....doesn't mean they were, either. :)

For a thousand years they have lain side by side, at rest...
Now, for a limited time only, they're on exhibition in a McDonalds near you!

From the article: "...archaeologists work on a 90-acre site near Ramsgate in Kent before it is developed into a salad-growing complex."
Maybe its because I'm on the other side of the pond but the phrase "salad-growing complex" seems a tad strange. How does one go about growing a salad? :)

I was more impressed by the photo on the bottom of the page about the woman who died giving birth. gross, but intriguing.
