BESKRIVELSE OVER DE I GOKSTADSKIBET FUNDNE
MENNESKEBEN.
AF
Dr. JACOB HEIBERG,
PROFESSOR I ANATOMI VED UNIVERSITETET I KRISTIANIA.
De oversendte ben og benstykker ere 9 i tallet og
tilhører 7 forskellige ben, hvoraf 1 stykke af basis cranii
sammenhångende, 3 løse stykker af et venstre skulder-
blad med indbyrdes til hinanden svarende brudflader,
I overarmsben, I venstre lårben, 1 højre lårben, 1 ven-
stre skinneben, I venstre laggeben.
Samtlige ben ere befriede for organisk substans, for-
holdvis lette, grå af farve, hist og her klåber der lere
ved, hvilken let lader sig fjerne ved vask.
Pa. overfladen af benene, såvel på de såkaldte
frie anatomiske flader som også inde imellem de fine
benbjelker af spongiosa sees en kridtlignende blålig sub-
stans. Ved ganske smaa friske brud af benene kan et
lignende farvestof bringes for dagen, hvilket stof sees at
ligge inde i de nyåbnede hulrum af bensubstansen, ofte
på frie, fuldstindigt isolerede, steder, uden at stå i
forbindelse med farven paa overfladen. Ved undersøgel-
sen af skibet findes, isår henimod midtrummet, på nag-
lerne et lignende farvet stof, hvilket tillige gjenfindes
på friske brud af tråvårket, midt inde i selve vedens
substans. Alene ved at undersøge benene kunde man
derfor fristes til at tånke på karinjektion af et farvet
stof, måske endog balsamering; men iagttagelsen af et
lignende stot inde i selve trået af skibet udelukker mu-
ligheden heraf. Jeg betragter indtrangningen af farve-
stoffet som en geologisk proces.

THE HUMAN BONES FOUND IN THE GOKSTAD-
SHIP.
DESCRIBED BY
Dr. JACOB HEIBERG,
PROFESSOR OF ANATOMY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF GHRISTIANIA.
The bones and pieces of bones sent to me, are 9 in
number and belong to 7 different bones, out of which
I piece of the base of the skull coherent, 3 loose pieces
of a left shoulder blade (scapula) with fragments -mutu-
ally corresponding with each other, 1 humerus, 1 left *
thigh bone (femur), 1 right thigh bone (femur), 1 left
tibia, 1 left fibula.
All bones are free from organic substances, are pro-
portionally light, grey of colour. Here and there some
clay adheres that easily may be removed.
On the surface of the bones as well on the free
anatomical planes as also inside between the fine bony
walls of the spongiosa, a bluish substance resembling
chalk is seen. Under a slight, fresh fracture of the bones,
a similar blue coloured matter may be observed. This
matter is seen to lie inside in the freshly opened hollows
of the bony substance, even on fully isolated free pla-
ces, not at all connected with the colour on the surface,
When examining the ship we also on the nails more
particularly about midships find a similar coloured stuff,
that also may be seen on recent fractures of the wood
in the very heart of the latter. By only examining the
ship one might feel inclined to guess at the injection
of a coloured stuff, perhaps even of embalming, but a
similar stuff having been observed in the very heart of
the wood of the ship, the possibility of any such thing
is excluded. I consider the penetration of coloured stuff
as produced by some geological process,
1. Basis crani (pl. XII fig. 5), consists of. frag-
ments of three connected bones:
a. almost a wholly preserved temporal bone, of which
but single prominences as of the Zygoma and of the
Styloid process are wanting. The parietal margin
of the squamous portion is sharp and entire. The
spheno-temporal suture may be traced along the
entire exterior surface; on the cerebral surface the
suture does not show itself so stroigly. The masto
