Archaeologists have made an 'exciting' discovery regarding a large burial mound that may help rewrite the history of the Nordic region. The mound, located in Norway, has been confirmed to be the site of a ship burial dating back to A.D. 700, making it the oldest known ship burial in Scandinavia.
Archaeologists have made an 'exciting' discovery regarding a large burial mound that may help rewrite the history of the Nordic region. This summer, a team of researchers investigated the so-called 'Herlaugshagen' burial mound —located in the municipality of Leka, Trøndelag County, on the coast of central Norway—with the aim of dating it and confirming whether or not a ship was hidden within.
To the joy of the archaeologists, surveys revealed large rivets in the mound, confirming that it was indeed the site of a ship burial. Now, recent dating efforts have indicated that the mound was constructed around A.D. 700—prior to the Viking Age—sparking further excitement among the researchers, according to the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). This date makes it the oldest known ship burial in Scandinavia (although there are burials in Vendel and Valsgärde in Sweden involving smaller boats that date to the 7th century). The Viking Age was a period spanning from the late 8th century A.D. to the mid-11th century A.D
