The Viking burial ground in Asum, one of the largest ever found on Funen, dates back to 850-970 A.D. and reveals insights into high-status burials.
The discovery was unexpected, highlighted by remarkably well-preserved skeletal remains, artifacts, and organic materials, which are rare for this region.
Archaeologist Michael Borre Lund emphasized the significance of the woman's burial in a wagon, reflecting high status and impressive burial customs of the Viking era.
Artifacts found, like a glass bead necklace and a silver-threaded knife, along with the burial practices, shed light on Viking societal hierarchies and rituals.
