A 1,300-year-old Viking dress just surfaced, offering a 'rare glimpse' into the hidden lives of ancient women.
Archaeologists found 1,300-year-old textile fragments in a Viking woman’s burial in Skonager, Denmark. The fabric survived because it got attached to metal brooches, which stopped decay. These rare scraps showed researchers how Viking women layered and coloured their clothes. Experts now use these pieces to study ancient weaving and quality.
