Archaeologists in Germany have discovered the grave of a Frankish warrior who was buried with his weapons and shield more than 1,300 years ago.
The weapons include a spatha, a long sword based on cavalry swords of the late Roman Empire.

There’s a really cool video at the end of the article about a neanderthal grave of a child, but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to grab the link to it from the page.

No, I can’t find a link to that video itself, but this is to a Livescience article on the same find.

It was a good read, but not about a Neandertale grave. The grave in he article was from Post-Neandertale times, about 10.000 year ago. The cave had before been inhabitst by Neandertal people but tust was 40.000 years ago.
