Question 154853 • FL-2109010-M/J World History A

Read each passage carefully. Why did the historical account of the Viking change?

Answer
A
Researchers discovered that Viking graves contained objects that were important to the person.
B
Researchers determined that Birka was an important Viking trading center.
C
Researchers analyzed evidence to discover that a Viking buried with weapons was female.
D
Researchers in Sweden discovered a burial site with a human, horses, and weapons.

Explanation

Researchers analyzed the remains of a Viking buried with weapons and determined that the person was female. This challenged the long-held idea that Viking warriors were exclusively male, changing the historical account. The discovery of a burial site alone, as described in choice D, would not explain what changed.
