"Previously, researchers had misidentified skeletons as male simply because they were buried with their swords and shields. By studying osteological signs of sex within the bones themselves, researchers discovered that approximately half of the remains were actually female warriors, given a proper burial with their weapons."

Out of 14 recently discovered corpses 7 turned out to be women. It’s jumping the gun significantly to make the conclusion that half of ALL Viking warriors were female. 114,377 notes
