JORVIK Viking Festival: Programme of Events available now
Recently Unearthed: Cemetery of Secrets
This new exhibition gives visitors the opportunity to get
close to a real, excavated skeleton and explore the theories inspired by the
high-profile discovery of 49 headless Romans unearthed during a recent York
Archaeological Trust excavation. The new exhibition offers talks about the discovery,
and visitors are invited to offer their own theories on what happened. Visitors
also get to handle replica shackles, like those found around the legs of one
of the skeletons on the site.

information about the excavation can be found here...
Four Viking ghosts haunt the Artefacts Alive exhibition, providing first-hand descriptions of what life was like for people living in the ancient city. Visitors can listen to the accounts of characters from the meanest blacksmith in York, Grummi, to the cheerful and welcoming housewife, Drifa. The exhibition also has six new interactive multimedia installations, which enable visitors to investigate for themselves what everyday life was like in the year 975AD.
