“Kaupang’s women were buried as powerful landowners and as members of the chieftain’s retinue, some with weapons. Kaupang’s men were buried with cooking equipment and keys as often as women were; tools, horses and equestrian gear were also not gender-linked. And while Kaupang’s women were more often buried with weaving tools- and seem to have controlled a vast textile industry- these tools were found in men’s grave too.”
