I meant to post this a week ago, the day the paper was online. But I have been busy.
This is the second Medieval person's to be found under a parking lot.

I wonder why the medievals insisted on burying so many people under parking lots. Hmmmmmm...... ;) One day, I hope someone digs me up and puts my bones in a museum.

Ever heard of the St. Bees Man — the well-preserved knight found in the early '80s? I don't know why, but this article reminded me of him for some reason.
Per pale azure and argent, an eagle displayed per pale argent and sable, armed and langued or.

So a Norman, a Saxon, and a Viking walk into England....

How about those Scotsmen they found in China. Chinese were not to fond too fond to find ancient scotsmen in their country. They won't let much about them get out. Well, just a wee bit of info lad, buts that all.
