Further information:
Grave 3 located in mound no. 6 was excavated by Oluf Rygh in 1870. The mound had 4 graves in total. In a clay pot, two chained dress-pins, a bone needle, a knife, and iron fittings were found, alongside burnt bones. Next to the pot, a similar pin was found, although it lacked a chain, presumably due to rusting away over time.

The presence of these simple clothing pins may indicate connections between Veien and regions to the west, such as Rogaland, where similar chained clothing pins are found in female graves. Similarly designed jewellery, albeit more intricate, has also been uncovered in female graves in Denmark, suggesting contact with southern regions as well.

Veien is strategically situated along what is believed to have been natural routes for travel and trade during prehistoric times. Major rivers running through extensive valleys converge here, making Veien a potential focal point for communication and trade, both within Norway and with the broader European continent. It served as a hub where ideas were exchanged, technologies were shared and developed, and goods were traded. Perhaps this interconnection explains the similarities between items found at Veien and those discovered in distant sites.
