tverstok og det nærmeste spant stykker af en sam-
menklinket jernkjedel med dens hank (pl. X fig.
7); en lang lænke af jern (pl. X fig. 4, 5), som til
dels gik i stykker ved fremhalingen, udentvil hø-
rende til den ovenfor s. 43 omtalte kobberkjedel, som
deri blev hængt over ilden, og af udmerket arbeide;
nogle vredne stænger af jern, men spædere end
nysnævnte, formodentlig hørende til jernkjedelen; end-
videre følgende træsager: 10 halvrunde pinde,
hvoraf 9 af ek og med udskjæringer (pl. VII fig. 8,9),
én derimod af naaletræ og glat, alle afbrækkede
i nederste ende og flere nu noget krummede, utvil-
somt stabbendsnagler til den foran (s. 40) omtalte
slæde, i hvis meier naglernes nederste dele endnu
findes paa sit sted (jfr. pl. VII fig. 3, A a, b, c)
staver af naaletræ af et lidet kar eller en bøtte
med hank (pl. VIII fig. 2 a, b, c), udvendig med
spor af baand og indvendig ligesom nu med indskaa-
ret «kryss» eller en fals for bunden; 4 tynde eke-
plader, alle med rundt hul i midten, den tyndeste 5 mm.

tyk, to af dem runde, 15 cm. i tvermaal, den tredje
17 cm. i kvadrat, med hjornerne afskaarne i en ind-
adgaaende halvcirkel, den største (pl. VIII fig. 5)
noget aflang, forsiret med udskjæringer og dens
midthul udvidet ved forkulling, hvoraf ogsaa spor
ellers; udentvil have disse plader tjent som lyse-
plader (jfr. s. 33), hvad der styrkes ved den nævnte
forkulling, der antagelig maa være fremkommet ved
at lyset er faldt overende og brændt nedi: 6 runde
kopper af løvtræ og nu meget indsvundne, lidt
forskjellige i størrelse, men alle med samme hoved-
form, undtagen at to (pl. IX fig. 7) have haandtag;
endelig et lidet kar eller en dyb tallerken af ek
(pl. IX fig. 8).
I forreste halvdel af agterrummet fandtes 4 spredt-
liggende redskaber af ek med indbyrdes lidt for-
skjellig størrelse men samme hovedform, alle til for-
stærkning af træet forsynede med en bolt gjennem
hovedet og en tyk trænagle gjennem midten, 3 med
listhøvlede kanter, deraf det største (pl. IV fig. 1)
og et af de mindre (pl. IV fig. 2), rimeligvis brugte
til at vikle tauge om, alle med spor af slid.

furthest aft of the sepulchral chamber and the nearest
frame, were found fragments of a riveted iron
caldron with its hank (pl. X. fig. 7), a long iron
chain (pl. X. fig. 4. 5) part of which fell to pieces
under the attempt to bring it out. Its workmanship
is singularly good and it doubtless belonged to the
above (pag. 43) mentioned cooking caldron which
was by its means hung over the fire. Further were
found some twisted rods of iron, but more slender
than those just named and which possibly belonged
to the iron caldron: — and also the wooden articles
following: 10 half-round sticks, 9 whereof were of
oak and engraved (pl. VII. fig. 8. 9), the remaining

These plates have unquestionably served as candle-
sticks (conf, pag. 33), a fact corroborated by the
just mentioned charring which may have been cau-
sed by the candle having fallen down and burned
into the plate: — 6 round cups of foliferous tree,
now much shrunk, somewhat different in size, but all
essentially identical in form, except two (pl. IX, fig. 7)
which are provided with handles; and finally: — a
small basin, or deep plate of oakwood (pl. IX. fig. 8).
Scattered over the foremost half of the aft-room ‘were
found four oaken implements somewhat different
in size one from the other, but of a like general
form, and all for the strengthening of the wood pro- .

nail through their middle, three of them and among ©
them the largest (pl. IV. fig. 1) and one of the
(pl. IV. fig. 2) smaller, having a beaded edge; these
were probably used, that cords might be wound
round them; all bear traces of wear.
