LiveScience: Battle axes unearthed in a cemetery in Russia may have belonged to 11th-century taxmen

Archaeologists uncovered the twin burials while doing fieldwork in Russia, and the grave goods suggest the deceased may have been tax collectors.

During the latest excavations, archaeologists surveyed roughly 50 “undisturbed burials” scattered throughout the cemetery, according to a translated statement from the Institute of Archaeology of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
