What backs it

Metal detectorists Daniel Crowe and Rhett Britton uncovered Viking artifacts dating to around A.D. 900 on the Isle of Man, including a broken sword with silver inlay, three bronze brooches, an axehead, and trading weights. Two of the brooches appear to be evidence of one of the earliest known Viking Age female burials on the island, and the third is the first of its kind found there.

Worth noting

The double burial remains a possibility under investigation; the artifacts' significance to understanding early Scandinavian settlement is confirmed.
