Leif Arne Norberg of Sogndalsdalen, Norway, was doing some landscaping work in his back garden when he overturned some stone slabs and found something remarkable. After Norberg uncovered a pair of tongs and a bent sword, archaeologists from Bergen University and the county’s Cultural Department took over the excavation of what is likely the 8th or 9th c. grave of a Viking blacksmith. The experts unearthed an axe and various pieces of metalwork which will be conserved before being put on display at the University Museum of Bergen.
