A prehistoric Viking farm, dating to around 400-550 AD, was the result of excavations at Taby, Stockholm, on an area of 8,000 square kilometers.
As the work progressed, traces of houses and buildings, probably from different eras, came to the surface. Arrows, millstones, ceramics, rings, amulets and a case of needles are some of the other finds of the excavations.
It appears, according to Sputnik, that needles were often placed in women's graves as accessories.
"It is probably not a large farm, but rather part of a larger farm nearby. It is often referred to in historical sources as 'Kjula' or 'Tjula'. It is a fascinating place," John said. Hamilton, archaeologist.
Based on the first studies and hypotheses, it is probably the village of Vikby, which is mentioned in the chronicles of the Middle Ages. However, the possibility that it is even older remains open. Other ruins have been found in the wider area, which may belong to different eras.
