Archaeologists have unearthed a hoard of Viking treasure that was hidden for more than a 1,000 years. The treasure was found on a mountainside in Årdal, Hjelmeland municipality, in Norway, the University of Stavanger (UiS) announced in a press release.

Excavations at the 1,100-year-old farm also found several structures for people, possibly enslaved workers and animals, Demuth said. These buildings showed signs of being burnt down during a period of widespread unrest in the Viking Age. Other artifacts found in Årdal included pots, knives and sharpening tools, Demuth said.

The University of Stavanger’s Museum of Archaeology announced the discovery in a press release published on Wednesday.

Norwegian archaeologists announced last week that excavators found 1,000-year-old Viking arm bands buried in soil. The artifacts were found on a farm.
