burial mound at Myklebust, Nordfjordeid

[Robb S]

A friend recently sent the following to an email list I am on:

I would like some help in researching information about a particular Viking ship burial referred to on a website as a "burial mound at Myklebust, Nordfjordeid"

Go to:
http://www.nordfjordhistorie.no/index.php sign in, (use the Brit' flag icon for English if you need to!) and the first dialog box to your left tell about and artifact found there, which I'm sure you've seen pictured before. Continue with the "slide show" and the burial site has another brief descriptor.

My question is; "Were can I find further archeological records of this dig, i.e.. history and artifacts?" What books might be written about the site?




I was wondering if any of you might be able to help her out

Hi Robb!

The Myklebust/-bostad find was published by Haakon Shetelig in an article called "<b>Gravene ved Myklebostad paa Nordfjordeid</b>". It's in Bergens Museums Aarbog 1905.
-And of course it's in Norwegian. If you’re lucky there's a summary in English, but back then French summaries were just as common...
