An archaeological excavation that resumed last week in Salme
on the island of Saaremaa, a site where ancient ships were previously
found has turned up more Viking-era ship rivets and sword fragments.
"We don't have any major discoveries and finds to report yet, but
we have received confirmation in the course of the work that they may
come," archaeologist Jüri Peets told the island daily Meie Maa.
"We
have reached the sixth soil layer and right on the first day we found
two rivets that are from the same era as the Viking ships. They are
exactly the same kind and size that we have found in the past."
