Abstract

This exploration of a pilgrimage site associated with St. Olaf helps to link the legends and sagas associated with early Christianity in the Viking world. Two of the burials showed evidence for perimortem sharp force and projectile weapon trauma, and a further individual showed charring indicating the body had been exposed to fire prior to the burial. The Vikings are well known for their long-distance travels. [Extracted from the article]
