Mary Rose skeletons studied by Swansea sports scientists

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-17309665


A reconstruction of the Mary Rose, which sank in 1545

Skeletons recovered from the wreck of a King Henry VIII's warship the Mary Rose are being studied to discover more about life in the 1500s.

Swansea University sports scientists are hoping to find out more about the toll on the bodies of archers who had to pull heavy bows.

It is documented that archers were aboard the ship when it sank in 1545.

The wreck was raised from the Solent in 1982, containing thousands of medieval artefacts.
