Some viking graves unearthed had alot of varying "diversity" as it was, imply that the term Viking often had more in common with a job-description than a tribe/culture/people from a given place.
Could also be that viking culture influenced various other factions at the time, and that the graves in question were influenced enough to confuse archaeologists?
Can't know for sure.
