Perhaps graves were re-used ? That is what happens to-day. Usually,
graves are discontinued after 20 years, and other people are
buried in them. After all, usually nothin remains of the dead body
or the coffin after 20 years.

The exception, of course, is people of importance. Their graves may
"survive" for centuries, even millenia.

There is a small graveyard at Knavinstown, near Kildare town,
KIldare, Ireland that seems to be _very_ old. The level of the
enclosed graveyard is about 2 metres above the surrounding field.

Due to special conditions in the ground, bodies may survive for an
extremely long time. This is why occasionally, we come across bog
finds. --

The Early Christian graves in Denmark, especially in Jutland from
around 100 AD are known and well-documented.

No they are not, because there are no christian graves
from around 100 in Denmark. You have to wait another
900 years for that.

Sorry Peter,
once again you are 100% wrong in your assumptions.
How about starting by reading at least the referred texts BEFORE you come up
with your stupid insulting assumptions!
Not insulting on me, which you might have intended your lines to be,
but on archaeologists and scholars of religion who have analysed, studied
and written about these graves which for example can be found in excavation
documentation, old but very good ones analysed more than once,
to exist not only in Jutland, Skane but up to Troms before 200 AD. Christian
graves, correct direction, some with small artifacts type same as in early
Christian graves elsewhere some without artifacts, but which you seem to be
completely unaware of also in wooden dateable coffins!
Good Night Peter A until you learn to keep silent until you studied the
subjectlines referred texts!
You are so way out of your own corner there is a chance to be!
