Female Warrior?
The woman was buried with a sword, spear, battle axe and arrows at Nordre Kjølen Farm
in Solør. Her skeleton shows that she was about 155 cm tall and 18 or 19 years old when
she died.
When archaeologists find graves with weapons, they usually assume that the people buried in the graves are men. But few graves have preserved skeletal material that can reveal a person’s sex, so this assumption is difficult to prove or refute.
The woman from Solør could have been a female warrior, but the weapons could also
have been symbols of her role in the family or local community.Baca lagi
