===Graves===
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.
====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.

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.
