Hello, I’m Erika Rosengren, the Osteological Collections Curator at Lund University’s 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: β€œwhy do we know that these Thor’s hammer thingys that only vaguely resemble actual hammers are in fact hammers?” Well, about six years ago this 10th century Thor’s hammer amulet was found on Lolland bearing the runic inscription: β€œI AM A HAMMER”.

And there you have it.
