The hoard of silver bangles found in Norway was buried in the 9th century and may provide new insights into Viking Age life and society.
Lead archaeologist Volker Demuth emphasized the significance of the intact find, stating it allows for a clearer understanding of the Viking context, unlike typical plowed field discoveries.
The discovery was made during a planned tractor road construction; archaeologists uncovered evidence of an extensive Viking farm, including dwellings and various artifacts.
The bracelets, potentially offerings to mark settlement boundaries, were located under what used to be the floor of a small house, highlighting the bleak conditions of those who lived there.
