The Sørumbåten (initially also Bingenbåten is called) a dugout . It was discovered in Sørum , Lillestrøm municipality , in Fylke Viken in Norway , when the water level of the Glomma River was very low in the mid-1990s ( ⊙ ). The almost intact dugout canoe made of oak is about 9.8 meters long. He was using the radiocarbon method on 170 BC. Chr. (± 60 years) and is the oldest surviving boat in Norway.

The original Sørumbåten is exhibited in the Norsk Maritimt Museum in Oslo . In 2004 a replica of Sørumbåten was completed, which is in the Fetsund Lenser rafting museum.

In Norway, dugout canoes were used on lakes and rivers well into the 20th century. The younger ones were made from pine wood.
