News: May have found St Olaf's Church
News
Archaeologists digging in Trondheim have found human remains and the remains of a church that may date to the early 11th century. The site, behind the library in Trondheim, was thought to be the location of a church, but now proof has been found, and it is speculated that the church was connected to Olaf Haraldsson who became St Olaf after his death at Stiklestad in 1030.
Remains of earlier buildings from the 9th and 10th centuries have also been found in this area of central Trondheim.

Four boat burials and several other burials from the period immediately before the Viking Age were found after a chance metal detector find in Bitterstad, Norway.
