Why would a church be using georadar? Nothing wrong with that, I suppose, but it just seems odd.

It doesn’t say the church was using it. The archaeologists were using it.

Never mind, I didn’t read the awkward headline, until after posting my comment. I see what you mean.

Perhaps they were planning an addition or another structure, but wanted to be certain they would not be disturbing burials from centuries ago.

Imagine sailing the North Sea in a 50ft ship.

Probably a lot shallower then, being before global warming and the resultant sea rise that must have taken place.

Their standard practice for ships that small was to hug the coast so they could swim ashore.

Still...

So what the heck is a traditional ship burial. Sounds like something out of Monty Python
