Die Isle of Man besitzt aussergewoehnlich viele und interessante ‘Wikingergraber’, von reich ausgestatteten Schiffs- und Hugelgrabern zu einfachen Flachbestattungen. Doch wahrend uber 150 Jahren altertumskundlicher Forschung sind etliche nur schlecht dokumentiert oder schwer zuganglich publiziert, so dass ein fundierter Einblick kaum zu erlangen ist. Die Publikation stellt alle derzeit bekannten ‘Wikingergraber’ der Isle of Man vor (einschliesslich umfangreicher Bebilderung) und analysiert ihre Funde, Befunde und Kontexte. The Isle of Man boasts a large number of Viking graves: Richly furnished boat and mound graves as well as simple interments. But during about 150 years of research not a few of them remained pooly documented and poorly accessible, so a well-founded overview was hard to obtain. This publication presents all Viking graves in the Isle of Man known today (including extensive illustrations) and an analysis of their objects and contexts.
