Norse ship burials were used to honor the dead and provide a permanent underwater resting place.

A find on Leka Island in Norway indicates these rituals date back farther than previously believed.

Researchers found wood fragments and iron rivets near the Herlaugshaugen burial mound, linked to a legendary ninth-century Viking king.

Radiocarbon dating of the wood suggests the burial occurred around 700 C.E., the earliest known ship burial in Scandinavia.

The discovery implies advanced shipbuilding skills in the area much earlier than thought, pushing back the timeline of ship burials.

The burial site's characteristics resemble those at Namdalen, Vendel, Valsgärde, and Sutton Hoo, raising questions about the tradition's origins and connections.
