THE 11TH-CENTURY SKJOLDEHAMN GRAVE is a remarkable accidental find, discovered in a bog in coastal Arctic Norway in 1936. The grave consisted of a fully clothed skeleton wrapped in a wool blanket, lashed with leather straps and tin ring-ornamented woven bands. The body was laid on a reindeer pelt, which in turn was placed on sticks of birch. Finally, the body was covered with birch bark, and potentially covered with turf. The grave has intrigued scholars since its discovery, especially the question of ethnic affiliation, and whether it is Old Norse/Norwegian or Sámi. New dating has placed the grave in the period when Christianity was gaining new ground on these outskirts of Europe. Re-examinations of the grave finds suggest a blend of Old Norse and Sámi features, as well as pagan and possible Christian features, and contribute to a new understanding of the burial's material contingency.

11 世纪 SKJOLDEHAMN 坟墓是一个非凡的意外发现，于 1936 年在挪威北极沿海的一个沼泽中被发现。坟墓由一个全身裹着羊毛毯的骨架组成，用皮带和锡环装饰的编织带捆绑。尸体被放在驯鹿皮上，而驯鹿皮又被放在桦木棍上。最后，尸体上覆盖着桦树皮，并可能覆盖着草皮。这座坟墓自发现以来就引起了学者们的兴趣，尤其是民族归属问题，以及它是古北欧人/挪威人还是萨米人。新的约会使基督教在欧洲这些郊区取得新的进展的时期成为坟墓。对坟墓发现的重新检查表明，古挪威人和萨米人的特征，以及异教徒和可能的基督教特征的混合，
