This archaeological team found "about a thousand individuals have so far been discovered, including one person who was about seven feet tall, and others who were blond and red-haired. They have been dated to between the first and seventh centuries [CE]" -- and that's a little bit early, but those definitely aren't locals or Romans, so I'm kinda hoping some of the cemetery got reused later and they actually found Varangian Guardsmen.
