2. 6 tynde runde spirer af naaletræ, den længste 7.2
m. lang; den anden 5.30 lang, maaske ej fuldstæn-
dig i nogen kant, lidt fortyndet mod den ene ende
men stærkt mod den anden; den tredje 4.27 m. lang
med lignende fortyndelse og i den tykkeste ende
tilhugget firkantet, udentvil en’ baadmast ; den fjerde
(pl. IV fig. 12) med rundt hul i hver ende, en
raa; den femte, 3.74 m. lang, ufuldstændig i den
ene ende, hvor den er skraat afhugget, og med et
rundt hul i den anden ende, ligeledes raa (?); endelig
den sjette 3.20 m. lang, hel i den ene ende og nær
denne forsynet med et hul, der i kanten mod spi-
rens ende er rundt, i den indre kant derimod retlin-
jet begrænset, formodentlig ogsaa en raa;
2 slædemeier af ek med udskjæringer, den ene
noget istykker, den anden hel (pl. VII fig. 3), hvoraf
kan sees, at slæden maa have havt lignende størrelse
og sammensætning som de arbeidsslæder, der bruges
i de fleste af vore landsbygder; til en saadan slæde
hører f. ex. paa Hedemarken og i Østerdalen 2 meier
med underlagt skoning («stang») af træ eller jern,
3 tverstykker («hynner») og 2 langstykker («rafter»);
tverstykkerne bæres i visse mellemrum af 6 støtter
(«fjetre», oldn. fjötur), paa ældre slæder med skraa-
ning indover og som gaa halvt ned i meierne og op
igjennem tverstykkerne, men kun til overkanten af
disse; til yderligere støtte tjene 12 runde nagler
med hoveder («stabbendsnagler»), hvoraf 2 og 2 paa
hver sin side af «fjetrene» drives ned gjennem et
hul i rafterne og helt igjennem meien; desuden er
der mellem meiernes forender et tverstykke («vegar»),
hvortil man fæster draget. Noget saadant drag synes
der dog ikke at have været paa den her fundne
slæde, men vel en tverstok, hvis ender i saa fald
have gaaet gjennem meiernes huller og hvortil skjæ-
kerne sluttede sig; heller ikke fandtes andre tver-
stykker (hynner) eller nogen af rafterne, men disse
maa slæden selvfølgelig have havt; derimod blev
truffet 4 støtter (fjetre), saaledes at kun 2 mangle, alle
etter sin form og sporet i meierne skraastillede, som
ovennævnt, og 2 med forsiringer (pl. VII fig. 12),

six thin round spars of fir or pine wood, the longest
7.2 m., the other 5.30 m. in length, most likely
not entire in any part, slightly thinned towards one
end but strongly at the opposite end; the third spar
4.27 m. long with a like thinning and at the other
end hewn square; undoubtedly a boat’s mast; the
fourth (pl. IV fig. 12) having a round hole at each
end and certainly a yard; the fifth 3.74 m. long im-
perfect at one end, where it is hewn aslant, and hav-
ing at the other end a hole, this likewise (?) a yard;
and finally the sixth 3.20 m. long, its thickness en-
tire at one end and near that provided with a hole,
round on the side towards the spar’s upper end, but
in the side towards the opposite end right lined;
this also probably a yard;
two runners of an oakbuilt sledge with carvings;
one of them somewhat damaged, the other entire
(pl.. VII fig...3), from. which may be seen, that
this sledge must have been of similar size and con-
struction to the working sledges now in use in most
of our country districts. To such a sledge, for
instance in the Hedemark and in the Østerdal,
there are two runners shod underneath with flat
iron («stang») or with wood alone, the cross pieces
(«hynner») and two bearers length wise («rafter») ;
the cross pieces (or transoms) are supported at cer-
tain points some distance from each other by 6 props
(fjetre, oldnorsk fjötur) which, in the old fashioned
sledges have an inclination inwards, and in the lower
part go half way down into the runners while
their upper parts pass through the cross pieces, but
only to the upper edge of these; as a further stay
12 round trenails with heads («stabbendsnag-
ler») are used by pairs on each side of the props
(«fjetre») to be driven through a hole in the bearers
(«rafter») and right through the runner. In addi-
tion to this, there is fixed between the forends of
the runner a cross piece («vegar») to which the
drag that carries the shafts, is attached. Such a
drag seems however not to have been used on the
discovered sledge, but no doubt in its stead a cross
bar, whose ends, in such case, have been passed through
holes in the runners and to which the shafts were
attached. Neither in these sledges were other
cross pieces found, or either of the bearers (raf-
ter); such however, as a matter of course, the -
sledge must have had, but we found 4 props
(«fjetre»), so that only two are lacking, and the trace
in the runners placed aslant, as above named, and
two of them with embellishments (pl. VII fig. 12).
