Lindholm Hoje is a major Viking Age burial site and former settlement overlooking Aalborg in northern Denmark [1] [2]. The site contains around 700 cremation graves from the Iron Age and Viking Age [3]. Graves are marked by stone settings in triangular and ship shapes [1] [2]. Sand drift buried the site around 1000 AD, preserving it remarkably until systematic excavation began in 1952 [4] [5].
