This is the best summary I could come up with:

Construction for an electricity project in the United Kingdom has led to several important archeological findings since 2020 that shed light on chapters of ancient history and the people who lived during them.

One especially interesting discovery was recently made in Lincolnshire, in eastern England, where archaeologists uncovered a grave dating back at least 1,400 years.

“Although many Anglo-Saxon cemeteries are known in Lincolnshire, most were excavated decades ago when the focus was on the grave goods, not the people buried there,” Jacqueline McKinley, the principal osteoarcheologist at Wessex Archaeology, said in a statement.

Wessex Archaeology said that research will additionally “help to identify familial relationships and broader genetic links both within this community and between others in the region, and the movement of people in wider society.”

The cemetery was initially uncovered by workers digging along part of the construction route for Viking Link, a massive energy project that aims to create a cable line between England and Denmark so the two countries can share electricity.

Peter Bryant, who led the project for Viking Link, said unearthing so many historical sites and artifacts on the cable route was unexpected.
