ved Sands kirke. Pia Bennike — 06.11.1989«.
It can be added that Pia Bennike, The Anthropologi-
cal Laboratory of the University of Copenhagen, has
previously determined skeletal material from the Faroes.
She has in fact analysed all available excavated skeletal
material on the Faroes, see Andersen 1978, Nielsen,
Grandjean & Bennike 1982 and Bennike 1983.

6. The initial publication includes only Grave I, at that
