The woman was buried inside the boat. Not far from finding, the signs of more nearby funerals have been discovered, and researchers plan to expand the search.
On Seanie’s island north of Norway, archaeologists found a unique burial of Vikings – a woman was buried in the boat and, perhaps, her beloved dog. According to the IFLSCIENCE, the ceremonial grave dated about 900-950 years of our time and, according to scientists, indicated high social status in the burial.
The dog was properly laid at the foot of the woman, which, though it did not occur, was very rare at Viking funerals. “There is evidence that influential people are all possible to heal their dogs. Although there is a deep relationship between humans and animals,” archaeologist Anya Nyemi said at the science Norway’s comment.
Along with a woman in the grave, jewelry: bronze of brooches (type of jewelry) with a silver thread, amber and necklace bone, a ring -shaped ring and a weaving mucous gun from a whale. Those who find indicate that the woman occupies a high position in society – perhaps she has an influence not only within the local community, but also in a wider region.
A boat about 5.4 meters long was found in 2023, metal detectors, which stumbled upon a pair of brooches and bones in just 20 centimeters under the ground surface. The whole excavation just started this month – they were carried out by specialists from the Arctic University Museum of Norway.
Despite the antique season, some of the elements of the funeral are preserved in surprise -in particular, large bones and bones -but that interact with brooches. Archaeologists also found fragments of clothing tissue and other organic residue. In the worst state – the small bones of the fingers and legs, which are only recognized by the tracks in the sand.
Further diagnosis will help to more accurately determine the gender, age, growth, state of health and even a woman’s diet habits.
Archaeologists will not exclude that this funeral is not just in this area. Another broom was found nearby, and researchers plan to expand the search.
We remind, earlier it was reported that the unknown king was found in Egypt.
