The things — which include force style neck rings, arm rings and coins — were tracked down inside a ceramic pot in Viggbyholm, Täby, a “Viking Age settlement” located external Stockholm, according to a public statement from The Archeologists at the National Historical Exhibition halls in Sweden. “They looked almost totally new,” said archeologist Maria Lingström.

The artifacts were covered underneath the floor of a building in the settlement, where the Vikings are accepted to have resided “for several hundred years.”
Notwithstanding, the silver discovery was “somewhat unforeseen,” according to the public statement.
A ring, two pearls and 12 coin pendants “utilized as gems” were also tracked down in the pot, according to The Archeologists.
A portion of the coins in the bag came from nations like England, Bohemia and Bavaria.

Arrows, quernstones, and amulet rings were also found “within the area,” per the official statement.
One coin, portrayed by The Archeologists as “very rare,” is accepted to have been minted in the city of Rouen, in Normandy, France around tenth century A.D.
Professor Jens Christian Moesgaard of Stockholm College, said the French coin has only been recognized in eighteenth century drawings.
It’s unclear why the articles were concealed in this manner, however one theory recommends it was done during “troublesome and wild times,” per the public statement, although as archeologist John Hamilton noted, “we have yet to check whether that was the case here.” “This is something you probably only experience once in a lifetime,” added Lingström.
