This article discusses the construction details of the mounds erected over large Viking ship burials in Norway and shows that they form an integral part of mortuary practice. Moreover, elements of the construction that are potentially unique to this type of monument are repeated, suggesting a knowledge of the properties of materials and their inter-relationships within the mounds. Here, referencing between and within the mounds is considered alongside the connections these soils, sediments, and other earth-sourced materials contained in relation to the cultural landscape. The selection of such materials and the location of the burials in the landscape were fundamental to the creation of a performative scene for the burial rites, and for establishing a desired, interlinked, social memory.

船墩很重要：维京船墩中地球来源材料的参考质量

本文讨论了在挪威大型维京船墓地上竖立的土堆的建造细节，并表明它们是太平间实践的一个组成部分。此外，这种类型的纪念碑可能独特的建筑元素被重复，暗示了对材料特性及其在土堆内的相互关系的了解。在这里，土丘之间和土丘内部的参照与这些土壤、沉积物和其他与文化景观相关的地球来源材料的联系一起被考虑。这些材料的选择和墓葬在景观中的位置对于为墓葬仪式创造表演场景以及建立期望的、相互关联的社会记忆至关重要。
