Thawj cov pov thawj kev tshawb fawb tau pom tias Vikings coj tsiaj tuaj rau tebchaws Askiv

Cov kws tshawb fawb tshawb fawb tau pom qhov lawv hais yog thawj cov pov thawj tshawb fawb uas qhia tias Vikings hla North Hiav Txwv mus rau Tebchaws Askiv nrog dev thiab nees.

Kev tshawb fawb coj los ntawm Durham University, UK, thiab Vrije Universiteit Brussels, Belgium, tau tshuaj xyuas tib neeg thiab tsiaj txhu nyob hauv tebchaws Askiv tsuas yog paub Viking cremation toj ntxas ntawm Heath Wood, hauv Derbyshire.

Cov kws tshawb fawb tau saib ntawm strontium isotopes uas muaj nyob hauv qhov seem. Strontium yog ib qho khoom siv ntuj tsim muaj nyob hauv ntau qhov sib txawv thoob plaws ntiaj teb thiab muab cov ntiv tes ntawm thaj chaw rau tib neeg thiab tsiaj txav.

Lawv txoj kev tsom xam pom tau tias nyob rau hauv cov ntsiab lus ntawm archaeology, ib tug tib neeg laus thiab ntau yam tsiaj yuav luag yeej los ntawm Baltic Shield cheeb tsam ntawm Scandinavia, npog Norway thiab central thiab sab qaum teb Sweden, thiab tuag sai sai tom qab tuaj txog hauv teb chaws Aas Kiv.

Cov kws tshawb fawb hais tias qhov no qhia tias Vikings tsis yog tsuas yog nyiag tsiaj thaum lawv tuaj txog hauv tebchaws Askiv, raws li cov nyiaj tau los ntawm lub sijhawm piav qhia, tab sis kuj tseem thauj tsiaj los ntawm Scandinavia, thiab.

Raws li tib neeg thiab tsiaj txhu tau pom nyob rau hauv cov seem ntawm tib lub ntees tuag pyre, cov kws tshawb fawb ntseeg tias cov neeg laus los ntawm cheeb tsam Baltic Shield tej zaum yuav yog ib tus neeg tseem ceeb uas tuaj yeem nqa nees thiab dev mus rau Tebchaws Askiv.

Cov seem uas tau txheeb xyuas yog txuam nrog Viking Great Army, ib qho kev sib koom ua ke ntawm Scandinavian cov tub rog uas tau tawm tsam Britain hauv AD 865.

Cov kev tshawb pom tau luam tawm hauv PLOS ONE. Tus kws sau ntawv Tessi Löffelmann, kws tshawb fawb kws kho mob ua haujlwm hauv Department of Archaeology, Durham University, thiab Department of Chemistry, Vrije Universiteit Brussels, tau hais tias, "Qhov no yog thawj cov ntaub ntawv pov thawj kev tshawb fawb uas Scandinavians yuav luag hla hiav txwv North nrog nees, dev thiab tej zaum lwm yam tsiaj thaum ntxov li xyoo pua cuaj AD thiab tuaj yeem ua rau peb paub txog Viking Great Army."

"Peb lub hauv paus tseem ceeb tshaj plaws, Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, hais tias Vikings tau noj nees los ntawm cov neeg hauv zos hauv East Anglia thaum lawv tuaj txog, tab sis qhov no tsis yog tag nrho cov dab neeg, thiab lawv feem ntau yuav thauj tsiaj nrog tib neeg hauv nkoj. ”

Cov kws tshawb fawb tau txheeb xyuas qhov sib piv ntawm strontium hauv qhov seem ntawm ob tus neeg laus, ib tus menyuam yaus thiab peb tus tsiaj los ntawm Heath Wood site.

Strontium tshwm sim nyob rau hauv ib puag ncig hauv pob zeb, av thiab dej ua ntej nws txoj kev mus rau hauv cov nroj tsuag. Thaum tib neeg thiab tsiaj txhu noj cov nroj tsuag, strontium hloov calcium hauv lawv cov pob txha thiab cov hniav.

Raws li qhov sib txawv ntawm strontium sib txawv nyob rau hauv ntau qhov chaw ntawm lub ntiaj teb no lub geographic fingerprint ntawm lub caij nyob rau hauv tib neeg los yog tsiaj seem yuav pab qhia tau hais tias lawv tuaj qhov twg los yog nyob rau hauv.

Strontium ratios nyob rau hauv ib tug ntawm cov neeg laus thiab cov me nyuam qhia tau hais tias lawv tuaj yeem tau los ntawm thaj chaw hauv zos mus rau Heath Wood cremation site, sab qab teb lossis sab hnub tuaj Askiv lossis los ntawm Tebchaws Europe, suav nrog Denmark thiab sab qab teb-sab hnub poob Sweden uas nyob sab nraud ntawm thaj av Baltic Shield. .

Tab sis qhov seem ntawm lwm tus neeg laus thiab tag nrho peb tus tsiaj - ib tug nees, ib tug dev thiab dab tsi cov kws tshawb fawb archaeologists hais tias tej zaum ib tug npua - muaj strontium ratios ib txwm pom nyob rau hauv lub Baltic Shield cheeb tsam.

Thaum cov kws tshawb fawb hais tias lawv qhov kev tshawb pom qhia tias tus nees thiab tus dev tau raug thauj mus rau Tebchaws Askiv, tej zaum nws yuav yog cov npua tawg yog ib qho ntawm ib qho kev ua si los yog lwm tus talisman los yog token coj los ntawm Scandinavia, tsis yog npua nyob. Cov seem tseem raug muab faus thiab faus rau hauv ib lub mound, uas cov kws tshawb fawb hais tias tuaj yeem yog qhov txuas rov qab mus rau Scandinavian rituals nyob rau lub sijhawm uas tsis muaj kev faus neeg hauv tebchaws Askiv.

Kev tshawb fawb co-sau xibfwb Janet Montgomery, hauv Department of Archaeology, Durham University, tau hais tias, "Peb txoj kev tshawb fawb qhia tias muaj tib neeg thiab tsiaj txhu uas muaj keeb kwm sib txawv txav mus rau hauv Heath Wood, thiab yog tias lawv koom nrog Viking Great Army, nws tau tsim los ntawm cov neeg los ntawm ntau qhov chaw ntawm Scandinavia lossis British Isles. "

"Qhov no kuj yog thawj zaug luam tawm strontium tsom xam ntawm cov neeg tuag thaum ntxov medieval cremated los ntawm teb chaws Aas Kiv thiab qhia lub peev xwm uas txoj kev tshawb fawb no yuav tsum tau ua kom pom kev ntxiv rau lub sijhawm no hauv keeb kwm."

Pab pawg tshawb fawb tseem suav nrog cov kws tshawb fawb keeb kwm yav dhau los ntawm University of York, UK, uas tau khawb lub Heath Wood toj ntxas ntawm xyoo 1998 thiab 2000, thiab Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium.

Xibfwb Julian Richards, ntawm Lub Tsev Haujlwm Saib Xyuas Kev Tshawb Fawb, University of York, uas tau koom ua ke coj kev khawb ntawm Heath Wood Viking tojntxas, hais tias, "Lub Bayeux Tapestry piav qhia txog Norman cov tub rog caij nkoj tawm ntawm cov nees los ntawm lawv lub nkoj ua ntej Tsov Rog ntawm Hastings, tab sis qhov no yog thawj qhov kev tshawb fawb pom tias cov tub rog Viking tau thauj nees mus rau Askiv ob puas xyoo dhau los."

"Nws qhia ntau npaum li cas cov thawj coj Viking muaj nuj nqis rau lawv tus kheej nees thiab hounds uas lawv coj lawv los ntawm Scandinavia, thiab cov tsiaj tau muab txi rau faus nrog lawv tus tswv."
