Archaeologists in Norway recently unearthed the remains of a Viking ship at a burial mound in the country’s Trøndelag region. The discovery comes centuries after a “seated skeleton” and a sword were found at the same site.
The discovery was announced on social media by Trøndelag County, and was made by researchers from the county and the nation’s NTNU Science Museum. The archaeologists were conducting a small survey at the burial mound, named Herlaugshaugen, where they found large nails that the county said confirmed it was the site of a Viking ship.
