    A fragment of a rib from a square or hexagonal boat, discovered in a bog near Barøya, Stokmarknas. The rib was originally made of pinewood and dates back to 320–440 AD.

    The rib belonged to one of the oldest clinker boats in Scandinavia. Traces of several Iron Age boathouses can still be seen at the rectory in Hadsel and at Rabiogen, Langaya, and this boat likely belonged to one of these sites.

    This monument is an anthropological interpretation of the original rib and was erected on the initiative of Tor Bergsmo of Stokmarknas. Several scholars contributed to the realization of this project.
