Evidence also seems to be accumulating for a series of burials including inhumations of a female and a child at Val-tos on Lewis. A number of rich boat burials such as that found at Kiloran Bay Colonsay and other graves containing weapons and weighing scales have been excavated.

HEDEBY. Viking-Age town at the base of the Jutland Peninsula just south of the modern town of Schleswig on an inlet of the Schleifjord known as Haddeby Noor. Today Hedeby lies within the borders of Germany but in the Viking-Age it was a Danish settlement.

A bishop of Hedeby was consecrated by Hamburg-Bremen c. 948. During the 10th century Hedeby seems to have been ruled by a Swedish dynasty known as the Olaf dynasty whose names are preserved
