BRONZE FIND FROM ÅLVIK

Some 80 years ago, in the outlying fields at Ålvik, three necklaces and two jewellery pins made of bronze were found under some stones. Such finds, hidden in fields and stones, are called depot finds. We don’t know whether to interpret them as hidden treasure or as offerings for gods or spirits.

The find is dated to the end of the Bronze Age, 6-700 years BC and is now in the museum in Bergen.
