Besides the usually odd fragments of iron,lead and bronze the finding were not spectacular and many. But amongst those to mention: knife from the 15-16th century, muskett ball, a big canonball from one of the first firearms:"Hakebøsse".Written sources tells about an attack from pirates in 1542.Mayby the cannon ball is a remaining from this event?
The iron knife on the left was found by John Kvanli on a nearby farm.It is from early 700 century AD. That is early viking era.The finding was delivered in to the Museum of archaeology in Oslo. |
