Rare silver treasures from Viking Age discovered on North Sea island
Rare silver treasures from Viking Age discovered on North Sea island Archaeologists presented the findings - including a ring brooch - discovered on the north German island of Sylt to the public on Monday. “This is one of the largest ever silver treasure troves from Schleswig-Holstein," said Claus von Carnap-Bornheim, head of the state’s archaeological office. In the summer, experts dug up a total of 180 pieces of silver jewellery on Sylt with a total weight of about one kilogram. The pieces included preserved pieces of jewellery such as bracelets, finger rings and a neck ring. Coins and ingots were also found. https://www.thelocal.de/20170925/rar...rth-sea-island |
