Hello, Iโm Erika Rosengren, the Osteological Collections Curator at Lund Universityโs Historical Museum and a PhD candidate in Zooarchaeology. My research explores how the environment and Mesolithic people affected animal populations in Scandinavia, focusing on aurochs and European bison. Thank you!

Did you ever stop to think: โwhy do we know that these Thorโs hammer thingys that only vaguely resemble actual hammers are in fact hammers?โ Well, about six years ago this 10th century Thorโs hammer amulet was found on Lolland bearing the runic inscription: โI AM A HAMMERโ.
And there you have it.
Lovely reconstructions. Are they yours?
