A Viking burial site was found in Solør, Norway in the year 1900. It is dated to the 10th century and contained the remains of a young woman, 18 – 20 years old and no more than 1.55 metres high. as befitting a warrior, she was buried with a two-edged sword, an axe, a spear, five arrowheads, a shield, the skeleton of a horse with bridle and other tools. In 2019, British scientists used the skeleton, which is preserved in Oslo’s Museum of Cultural History, to create a facial reconstruction of what she would have looked like. The remains showed that she had suffered a head injury consistent with a sword wound; the skull was found to have a dent in it serious enough to have damaged the bone.
