Å.
kes derved, at der inde i klumpen fandtes stykker
af tyndt hampetaug, som rimeligvis har været telt-
baand; |
en hel del stykker af bastetaug af forskjellig
tykkelse, nogle klædte med tynde strenge af bast,
og navnlig et langt sammenhængende kabeltaug,
rimeligvis til ankeret;
4 ligedannede og omtrent ligestore træstykker
af ek, det bedst bevarede afbildet paa pl. VI fig.
7, og nogle sneldelignende redskaber (pl. VI
fig. 8, 10), de sidste maaske bestemte til at stikkes
ind i aabningerne paa rælingens underkant (pl. I fig.
4, 5) som fæste for teltbaandene;
lidt dybere en skraaliggende rundholt af gran (pl.
IV fig. 11), ved den ene ende forsynet med gjen-
nembrudt klamp, maaske en baadmast.
Fra det 8de spant agtenfor forenden og indtil hen-
imod denne laa ovenpaa skibets tiljer:
ved skibets begge sider under dets indadbøjede over-
kanter (jfr. s. 6) en hel del aarer af gran, hvilke
dog paa grund af deres leje mod de haarde ekespan-
ter og ved presningen af den overliggende jord-
masse mestendels vare brækkede, saa at kun 5 af
skibets aarer ere nogenlunde hele og deraf kun én
fuldstændig, 5.30 m. lang, skjønt de øvriges længde
ved gisning af de manglende stykker kan suppleres
til 5.55, 5.60, 5.65 eller 5.85 m.; formen kun rent
undtagelsesvis som pl. IV fig. 18, ellers som pl. V
fig. 1; én har udskjæring tæt nedenfor haandtaget
(pl. VII fig. 13); alle baadaarerne have form som
pl. V fig. 1, men kun 7 ere nogenlunde hele, og
enkeltes skafter vise et indsnit for klamper paa det
sted, hvor de hvilede under roningen;
>
imellem begge aarerækker stykker af 3 baade af
ek (pl, V fig. 5—9, I1—13, 15, 18) med tilbehør af
3 ror (pl. V fig. 2—4), 2 mastespor (pl. IV fig. 7),
en tofte, 6 trekantede plankestykker, hørende
dels til forenden (pl. V fig. 17), dels til agterenden
(pl. V fig. 16), et rygbræt (pl. V fig. 10), tiljer
og 2 klamper med spuns til stopning af kvisthuller
i bordene (pl. V fig. 14), alt lagt som dække over
følgende gjenstande:
sumably, had been intended for the tent, an opinion
corroborated by the fact that within the bundle
there were found pieces of thin hemp-rope, in all
probability, the fastenings of the tilt;
. a large number of bast-cord fragments, of va-
rious thickness, some of them bound round with
thin fibres of bast, and in particular, a long conti-
nuous cable rope, most likely intended for the
anchor ;
. 4 fragments of pieces of oak of like form and
nearly like size, that in best preservation repre-
sented pl. VI fig. 7, and some reel-like imple-
ments pl. VI fig. 8, 10; these last perhaps inten-
ded to be put through the openings made at the
lower edge of the gunwale (pl. I fig. 4, 5) as fixing
points for the tilt-cords ;
’ somewhat deeper down, a round timber stock of
pine wood (pl. IV fig. 11) in a slanting position,
having at one of its ends a perforated clamp. It had
perhaps been a boat’s mast.
From the eighth frame abaft the fore-end, and nearly
to the latter, lay over the vessel’s flooring (tiljer):
on both the sides of the ship, under the inward
tending curve of the vessel’s side (cfr. pag. 6) a
great number of oars of pine wood that however
in consequence of having lain against the harder
oaken frames as well as by the pressure of the super-
incumbent mass of earth, were found for the most part
broken, so that now only five of the ship oars are
tolerably well preserved, and of those five but one
5.30 m. long fully entire, while the conjectural length
of the rest grounded on the fragments may be taken
at 555 m., 500m, 505 m. or 555 m.
is quite exceptionally as pl. IV fig. 18, but else as
Their form
in pl. V fig. 1. One oar has some graving just
under the hand hold (pl. VII fig. 13); all the boat-
oars have the form shown pl. V fig. 1, but 7 only
are somewhat more like whole, and the shafts of
some show a groove cut for the clamps at the spot
where they rested, during the rowing;
. between both ranges of oars were found fragments
of 3 oak built boats (pl. V fig. 5—9. I1. 13. 15. 18)
with their appurtenances of three rudders (pl. V
65. :2—4), mo mast Steps (pP4V: fe: 7), one
thwart, 6 triangular pieces of board some
belonging to the forepart (pl. V fig. 17), some to the
aftend (pl. V fig. 16), a back screen (pl. V fig. 10),
bottom boards and 2 clamps with plugs to
stop knot-holes in the boarding (pl. V fig. 14), — all
this forming a cover for the following things:
