NOTES
1) Sigurd Grieg Middelalderske byfunn fra Bergen og Oslo. Oslo 1933 pp. 214 f.
During the excavations at Borgund, which took place shortly before the Leksvik
shoes, some shoes with true soles, from the ancient market, were found. They
probably date from the llth or 12th century. (Asbjørn E. Herteig. Kaupangen
Borgund kommer for dagen. Ab. 1953 p. 14). Erik Schia discusses the recently
discovered shoes from Gamlebyen in De arkologiske utgravninger i Gamlebyen,
Oslo. Feltet »Mindets tomt«. Oslo 1979 pp. 121-201.
