This week at Seyla, we have continued to follow and define walls. Some of us have started excavating what we believe is a medieval cow barn.

In the area where we believe the hay was kept, we have found traces of hay and some sheep, horse, and dog bones. Pictured below is a well preserved and large leg bone (possibly horse or cow) that was found today.

Below is the area where we believe the cows were kept. It is a small room which had space to hold two to three cows. In this room, we have found some animal bones and even some wood fragments in the southwest corner.

In other areas of Seyla, the crew has been successful at exposing the turf walls of several Viking Age buildings.
