A few years ago, archaeologists conducted an archaeological survey of the remains of Gårdby's medieval church. It was in connection with a major renovation of the 19th century church that the older foundation walls could be excavated under the floor of the current church. The investigation resulted in the entire church and all the graves in it being affected. The medieval church's roof trusses had been used for the current church's floor joists. A tree-ring analysis of the wood showed that the church was built in the early 12th century. All graves in the church have been investigated, a very special grave with a stone coffin can be linked to the original owner of the church.Based on the fine material with great potential for further research, we have worked on different types of scientific analysis. The County Administrative Board but also funds have contributed with applications for funds for several different scientific analyses of the skeletal material. A total of 25 of the 31 skeletons found have been dated by carbon 14 analysis. This means that we have a good insight into when the burials took place in the church. A large number of the skeletons have also been DNA-analyzed, in order to clarify any relationship between the individuals. A large part of the individuals have been strontium analyzed with regard to geographical origin. The investigation and the subsequent analyses have no equivalent in the country, which is why we see it as extremely important to get these results, both for the locals but also for a collective research community.
