- About the lecture:
The high-status Viking burial excavated at Kiloran Bay, Colonsay, in 1882 and 1884, is a well-furnished weapon grave, including scales, weights and harness-mounts, together with a boat, a horse and a possible human sacrifice, but also with two cross-marked stones. It is well documented for the period, in the archives of the Societies of Antiquaries of Scotland and of London, but much remains for discussion in relation to similar graves from Scandinavia, Britain and Iceland.
The lecturer:
James Graham-Campbell is Emeritus Professor of Medieval Archaeology at University College London and a Fellow of the British Academy. He is the author of The Viking-Age Gold and Silver of Scotland (1995) and (with Colleen Batey) of Vikings in Scotland: An Archaeological Survey (1998). He delivered the Rhind Lectures for 1995/96 on ‘Death and Wealth in Viking Scotland’ and continues to research the pagan Norse graves of Scotland.
Regarding the practice of turning off comments for your other videos: videos with comments turned off are automatically downvoted. These are topics worthy of discussion.
Totally agree, posting content on a platform such as this without allowing discussion and feedback is in my opinion unacceptable. Also the lack of interaction will not get the videos favored by the algorithm and recommend to a wider audience.
Thanks Christine and Ed for your feedback. The removal of the comments function on videos is at the discretion of the speaker. We hope this helps.

Then don't have speakers who refuse to allow public discussion of their presentation.

Interesting. Thanks from the US.
Thanks for watching!
Do we know whether "old-fashioned" had any meaning at that time to those people?
