I read about an excavation that found several swans in a grave, was it on here?
If so has anyone kept the link?
TIA

Dunno if this is what you meant ,but at Vedbaek north of Copenhagen is the burial of a mother and son who were placed on a swan’s wing.

I take it you're not talking about these little representations of swans, done in mammoth ivory? From Malta I think.
