These appear to be ancient Scandinavian gravesites, but what makes them specifically Viking? Couldn't they just as easily have been prior to 793? If during the Viking Age, the settlement might not have been strictly Viking, but rather agricultural. According to Wikipedia:

The term Viking commonly denotes the ship-borne warriors, pirates and traders of Norsemen (literally, men from the north) who originated in Scandinavia and raided the coasts of Britain, Ireland and mainland Europe as far east as the Volga River in Russia from the late 8th–11th century. This period (generally dated 793–1066) is often referred to as the Viking Age. The term Viking has also denoted entire populations of Viking Age Scandinavia and their settlements, as an expanded meaning.

My bet is that they’ll be in either DNA groups R1a or I...both associated with Vikings but, not exclusively.

People began migrating out of the Ice Age refuges 12,000 years ago. Notice who goes where. I'm R1b.

Vikings marked important graves with upright stones arranged in the shape of a longboat. They also buried entire boats with their former masters.
