"Norwegian archaeologists have found a previously unknown skeppsgrav on the burial ground in Borreparken on the west side of the oslo fjord."
"According to the Vestfold municipality, it is by all accounts a ship from the viking age."
"the Ship that is relatively close to the surface of the ground have been found with the help of georadar, whose images show a clear båtform under the ground."
" the Images show a båtform and we can see weak traces of a circular recess around the boat. Maybe it is a sign that a mound has been removed from the site, " says Terje Gansum, who is the section chief for cultural heritage, in Vestfold municipality."
"It is still unclear how much of the craft that is left, but the importance of the find cannot be underestimated, according to the Norwegian climate and environment minister, Ola Elvestuen (the liberal Party)."
" this is a historic day, a great event. It is unique in Norwegian history and internationally, it is not possible to exaggerate the importance of this, " he says."
"Since the former has only seven skeppsgravar from the viking age (800 to 1050) confirmed in Europe. Three of these are present in Vestfold."
"last year was found, however, a putative skeppsgrav on a burial ground in Halden municipality in south-east Norway, and now probably another a viking ship found in Borreparken."
