A mysterious double Viking boat burial has been discovered in Norway, intriguing experts.

挪威发现神秘的双海盗船墓葬，引起专家们的兴趣。

Last month archaeologists excavating a site at Vinjeroa in central Norway uncovered the boat grave of a woman who died in the second half of the 9th century.

Shell-shaped gilded bronze brooches and a crucifix-shaped brooch fashioned from an Irish harness fitting were found in the grave, along with a pearl necklace, two pairs of scissors, part of a spindle and a cow’s skull, according to the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).

上个月，考古学家在挪威中部的文杰罗阿发掘了一处遗址，发现了一艘船的坟墓，死者是一名死于9世纪下半叶的妇女。

据挪威科技大学(NTNU)介绍，在墓穴中发现了贝壳状镀金青铜胸针和十字架状胸针，胸针是用爱尔兰马具配件制成的，此外还有一条珍珠项链、两把剪刀、一个纺锤和一个牛头骨。

Archaeologists, however, were surprised to find that, instead of digging a new grave for the woman, she and her boat were placed inside a larger boat grave from 100 years earlier.

The larger boat, which measures between 29.

5 feet and 32.

8 feet long, contains the remains of a man who was buried with his weapons.

然而，考古学家惊讶地发现，她和她的船并没有为她挖一个新坟墓，而是被放在了一个更大的船坟墓里。

这艘较大的船长29.

5英尺至32.

8英尺，船上有一名男子的遗骸，他是和武器一起被埋葬的。

While most of the wood from the boats has rotted away, their rivets were still in position, so archaeologists were able to identify the double boat burial.

The man had been buried with a spear, a shield and a shingle-edged sword.

虽然船上的大部分木材已经腐烂，但铆钉还在原地，所以考古学家能够确定这是双船墓葬。

那人下葬时带着一支长矛、一面盾牌和一柄有瓦边的剑。

Speaking to Norwegian SciTech News, Raymond Sauvage, an archaeologist at the NTNU University Museum in Trondheim, who led the excavation, explained that the sword clearly dates the grave to the 8th century.

在接受挪威科技新闻的采访时，负责此次发掘工作的荷兰国立科技大学博物馆的考古学家雷蒙德·索瓦奇解释说，这把剑很明显可以追溯到8世纪。

The burials were made in an area that was home to Viking-era farms.

While the soil conditions are not ideal for preserving bones, archaeologists have recovered part of the woman’s skull, which will be used for DNA analysis and may give an indication of what she looked like.

埋葬的地方曾经是维京时代农场的所在地。

虽然土壤条件不适合保存骨骼，但考古学家已经找到了这名女性头骨的一部分，它将被用于DNA分析，并可能为她的长相提供线索。

Sauvage told Norwegian SciTech News that the man and the woman were likely related.

It’s reasonable to think that the two were buried together to mark the family’s ownership to the farm, in a society that for the most part didn’t write things down,” he added.

索维奇告诉挪威科技新闻，这名男子和这名女子可能是亲戚。

我们有理由认为，这两个人被埋葬在一起，是为了纪念这个家庭对农场的所有权，而这个社会在很大程度上没有记录下来。

”他补充说。
