Burial Mound Finds, Gamla Uppsala

A recreation of one of the boat burials, showing how the man and his grave goods and animals were buried.


the actual remains from that boat-grave.

Here are some of the grave finds from Gamla Uppsala--one man's boat grave and one woman's grave. From hers, some of the metal, stone and bone jewelry and the cloak-fasteners remain(I cannot get the blog program to rotate the photo, even though I have rotated it in the original program) ; from his, the metal bits from the wooden shield, the gold harness from a horse, and weapons, drinking horn, and helmet remain.
