I was thinking about this discovery and had a thought. The female skeletons haven't been identified as from the Danube, rather it is assumed that they are from that area because the troops were. For all we know they were British prostitutes or wives of a couple soldiers. The fact that no swords were present with the ornamented scabbards leads to another question. Were they the women's or were they a devoted husband's last gift to his wife, laying his fancy scabbard on the pyre beside her in native style? <p></p><i></i>
