Dr Cat Jarman from Oslo originally is a bioarchaeologist at the University of Bristol specialising in Vikings and Viking women. She uses forensic techniques like isotope analysis, carbon dating, and DNA extraction on human remains to untangle the experiences of past people from broader historical narratives.

Catrine or Cat as she is generally known is at Bristol University and carried out a large excavation at Repton in a back garden where a mass viking grave had been discovered. This excavation has been on television. Additionally extensive work was carried out at Foremark (about 2 miles from Repton) following a geophis investigation which showed some possibilities.
