===Denmark===
Shields have been found in 28 burials in Denmark. [PEDERSEN 2014a2014A:p.96-98]<br><br><br>
== Viking Domed==
The typologies used for Viking domed bosses are:
* From Rygh 1885: R564, R562, R563, R565 [RYGH 1885]
* From Hjardar & Vike 2016: A, B, C, D1, D2, D3, E [HJARDAR & VIKE 2016:p.185]
 
Rygh's typology is the most widely referred to and was used by Petersen in 1919 [PETERSEN 1919] and almost all books and papers since. A new typology is presented in Hjardar & Vike 'Vikings at War'. Little information is given regarding the typology in the book. [HJARDAR & VIKE 2016:p.185]
