Besides one complete stave constructed bucket (21.8cm high, 27cm diameter) and one complete tub, 259 individual staves, handle staves and "Daubenpassstuecke" (the final, usually smaller stave, used to complete the vessel) were found. These staves would have been from buckets, barrels, tubs and shallow bowls, though most were open topped as only one stave, of 107 with a complete length, had two grooves for a bottom and a lid and was from a small barrel 54cm high. Most of them were made from imported pine and were probably made form the large (2.5m x 0.8m diam.) barrels (as seen on the Bayeux Tapestry), which were also used to line 29 of the town's wells. Oak (65, 29%) and yew (28, 13%) were also used. The staves varied in length from 8.4-88cm, with most falling between 10-30cm, the width ranging 1.7-19.5cm with most between 3-7cm. The thickness ranges from 4-27mm, with most being between 10-15mm.
Most buckets were cylindrical with two handle staves opposite each other with holes in the top to take a rope or iron handle.

===NorwayGraves===All of these metal bound buckets were in richly furnished graves.====Metal covered buckets====Stave constructed buckets that were completely covered in decorated metal sheet were found in 3 chamber graves in Hedeby.* Chamber grave I: male burial, 50cm diameter, 40cm high, 78.5l volume. The bucket was covered in multiple, overlapping iron sheets which were stamped with a triangle pattern. The iron sheets were originally tinned. They were held in place with triangular section iron hoops. The bucket had 4 rings for carrying. *Chamber grave IX: unknown gender 23cm diameter, 21cm high 8.3l volumeUnusually for this type of bucket in the baltic area this one is covered in bronze sheet stamped with a triangle pattern. *Chamber grave 2: female, 31cm diameter, 33cm high, 24.9l volumeAlso, unusually, covered in bronze sheets with a stamped triangle design which were bound by 6 triangular section iron hoops. ====Metal bound buckets====Stave constructed buckets which were bound with simple, narrow triangular cross section iron hoops were found in 8 graves (chamber graves V, VII, VIII, 4, 6, the boot chamber grave, graves 497, 810). They had a volume of up to 20l, except for the boot chamber grave bucket which was a bit bigger (38.5l volume). They all have a iron handle. The boot chamber grave bucket has additional decorative cross shaped fittings and is probably of carolingian origin.*{{ListRef|Arents & Eisenschmidt 2010a|p. 146-148}}*{{ListRef|Eisenschmidt 2004|p. 643}} ====Log buckets====One possible log bucket was found in chamber grave 1. Only 5 rows of iron nails remain, which might have been decorative nails on a hollowed out log bucket.*{{ListRef|Arents & Eisenschmidt 2010a|p. 146-148}} ==Norway==
"In the Oseberg find we have quite a large brass-bound bucket, apart from 3 other buckets and fragments of 8 others. Similarly, there are 3 barrels... From the other large ship find, the Gokstad find, there are 2 buckets, 1 barrel..."
