For instance: in 2004, a Viking-era female grave was found near Vike Church. The grave contained a good number of pearls and gemstones, including amber. Hand stones and other weaving equipment and typical women's tools were found in the grave. It could be confirmed that this was a boat grave based on the grave's design. The discovery, which was featured in archaeological journals and in the media, was named "Husfrua på Vike" (The Lady of Vike). Archaeologists could tell from the findings that it must have been a woman of higher social status who had her grave monument there.

Vikebukt has always been intriguing, and it continues to be a place of fascination today.
