Back to those women warriors, again

Posted on by Nicola Griffith

Over on my personal blog, I’ve written a quick post about the role of science reporting and the need to be a bit more brave. This is all in context—again—of women buried with weapons and how they are classified. Ninth-century Birka, tenth-century Carpathian Basin, the reasoning keeps going in circles.

And if you like that, you might also enjoy this piece from about 15 months ago in Scientific American. Now that is how it should be done!
