Better Identification of Viking Corpses Reveals: Half of the Warriors Were Female
▻http://www.tor.com/blogs/2014/09/female-viking-warriors-proof-swords

Shieldmaidens are not a myth! A recent archaeological discovery has shattered the stereotype of exclusively male Viking warriors sailing out to war while their long-suffering wives wait at home with baby Vikings. (We knew it! We always knew it.) Plus, some other findings are challenging that whole “rape and pillage” thing, too.

Et c’est même pas « un peu plus », c’est « half of the warriors » !
La manière débile dont les archéologues faisaient la différence homme/femme dans les sépultures est quand même gratinée aussi :
Previously, researchers had misidentified skeletons as male simply because they were buried with their swords and shields. (Female remains were identified by their oval brooches, and not much else.)
Super consciencieux !
