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.

Glad you're back Inger.

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,

So, why don't you quote from the publications?

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!

And, are they dated?

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!

For those who have
problems finding the spec.works, dissertations and excavation reports
I would like to suggest following more 'commonly' written works:
Klindt-Jensen Ole, Foreign influences in Denmark´s early ironage,
Køpenhavn 1950

100 AD is not EIA but Roman (Iron) age.

for Skane up to 1658 belonging most of the time to Denmark:
Strömberg Märtha, Järnåldersguld i Skåne, Lund 1963

So what? Skane is not Jutland.

for Norway during many centuries either under or in close contact
with Denmark: Norsk Historie, bind 1 red. prof. Knut Mykland, Oslo
1976

So what? Norway is not Jutland.
