A recent study led by Dr. Astrid Noterman explored the uncommon practice of bed burials in medieval Europe. Primarily discovered in Germany, England, and Scandinavia, these burials show notable regional differences. The study, published in the European Journal of Archaeology, highlights that many medieval bed burials remain insufficiently analyzed, either individually or as a group.
