Hi,

is it possible to make a clearer distinction in the text between the two? Like, which one of them wore which clothes?

Aside: Statements like " ... a diet composed mainly of meat, another luxury when most Vikings ate fish" are misleading inasmuch as they make it seem that there is knowledge where we have none. Is there a source saying that "most vikings ate fish"? There are large non-coastal areas in both Sweden and Norway (of which, btw, more than half is above 600 m, so it'd have to be flying fish), areas that instead are rich in game, and have excellent grazing for domestic animals.

New research on sailing capabilities

Latest comment: 8 years ago3 comments1 person in discussion

Hi,
according to Norwegian national broadcaster NRK,at https://tv.nrk.no/program/KOID76001515/gaaten-oseberg ,aspects like the ship's 13 year life before burial as well as the hull being waterproofed (caulked?) by material between the planks led to a reexamination of the reconstruction, which was found to be faulty - no one had factored in that the traverse timbers that held the planking had been staved in as the ship lay buried under tons of soil. Correcting this led to an entirely new hull profile, and a reconstruction using the new configuration sailed without any problems.
But I don't know if the reference is RS enough for an edit.

Some more links, unfortunately only blogs, but they'll serve to correct inaccurqacies in my post, at least:

The last link also contains a further link to the report by the Danish Viking Ship Museum.

Hi, I did a (perhaps over-bold) snip of the "and then it sank" material. Remaining text needs to be tightened, perhaps some fo the previous attempts summarized? T 85.166.163.40 (talk) 01:32, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
