@brearkeologi How they know it’s from the Vikings and not from some random dude who accidentally left it there last week?

@cheez_miss It is radiocarbon-dated to the 9th century AD.

@MariusMpunkt Too early for knitting here in Norway. It is made from patches of woven textile. Check the pictures in the other post.

@brearkeologi @fakehistoryhunt - seems like something you’d enjoy…

@brearkeologi These finds are fantastic. Too bad the circumstances of their discovery are so dire.

@brearkeologi If only the owner's mum had tied it up the sleeve, across the back, and down the other sleeve to the other mitten, then they'd have a pair.

@brearkeologi Amazing find!

@brearkeologi Initially read "age mitten" as the noun, then started pondering if vikings had magical mittens for aging people.... I need more sleep. Or someone has rubbed me with an age mitten.
