Viking-era cloth and pins in 1300-year-old grave
Archaeologists in Denmark have discovered a woman's grave from the 8th century, more than 1,300 years old. The burial contains rare remnants of clothing and two metal pins known as "spade pins," which have preserved small pieces of fabric due to corrosion and the preservation environment's salinity, which prevents decay. The researchers aim to examine the fibers and dyes to identify weaving techniques and fabric quality. Additionally, they plan to analyze the woman's teeth to uncover details about her health, diet, and personal life, with the goal of providing a more accurate picture of her clothing and life in western Denmark during that period.
