Having looked at the various websites and pictures of the finds - fantastic!!! :-) I telephoned
Tullie House Museum in Carlisle to find out about the display that was mentioned in the press.  I
was informed (politely and apologetically) that the press had misreported (now there's something
unusual :-p) and that although the finds will be displayed today - it is not for the public but for
the press only - after which the finds will be sent away for conservation, and will be returned to
the museum in 2005 when they will finally be displayed for the public.  I am looking forward to
that.

  LONDON - Archaeologists in northwestern England have
  found a burial site of six Viking men and women,
  complete with swords, spears, jewelry, fire-making
  materials and riding equipment, officials said Monday.
