Genetic testing of human remains unearthed at a medieval cemetery in central Poland has revealed the presence of Scandinavians in the region. Given the time in which these individuals lived and died, the researchers who uncovered this information believe the skeletons are evidence of a Viking settlement, which is eye-opening because it is the first such evidence to have ever been recovered in this part of Poland.
The researchers responsible for what they call a “remarkable” find included geneticists and anthropologists from the University of Lodz, who performed a fresh scientific examination of skeletal remains that were first discovered almost eight decades ago. The cemetery was found in the small village of Lutomiersk (population 2,000), approximately 12 miles (19 kilometers) from the regional capital of Lodz in the 1940s, and the newly released genetic results confirm that Vikings once resided in this area.
The presence of Vikings in Poland’s interior had long been suspected but not proven conclusively until now, and the research team is curious about what the relationship might have been like between these Vikings and the Polish state. The latter had just come into being around this time—Poland was officially recognized as a distinct political entity in 966 AD, when the leadership of its ruling Piast dynasty receiving the blessings of the Roman Catholic Church.
