I am a PhD student augmenting #zooarchaeology with #aDNA and #stableisotopes to answer outstanding questions about Scandinavian #aurochs and E. #bison history and their interactions with #Mesolithic people. This is me rummaging around the skull of a bison for a petrous bone.

Did you ever stop to think: “why 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: “I AM A HAMMER”.
And there you have it.
