Ghost of medieval gauntlet found on Oslo seabed
Briefly

The excavation in Bispevika has unveiled a rare medieval iron gauntlet fragment, leading to hypotheses about its disposal by officials, though no documentary evidence supports this.
An unusual quantity of weapons like daggers and swords have been unearthed, suggesting a significant historical event, yet the origin remains unclear due to lack of records.
The surviving imprint of the gauntlet highlights its importance, but its discovery raises questions about medieval armature loss, attributed possibly to bad luck rather than battle.
The archaeologist Hegdal expresses skepticism about further discoveries, noting that the absence of connected artifacts suggests that the gauntlet's origins may remain a mystery.
