My creator drew me as a zombie for @madcharlie77’s supernatural au-thing, and also as the white hare for the little doodle she made of @alex-enfield as the Mad hatter.

Don’t worry, Zombie me is vegansk, as in he doesn’t eat human brains. He eats animal brain. Vi stammer jo fra en gård.

The boat grave at Årby Gård

The boat grave at Årby Gård also known as Årbybåten contained a boat that is so far the only one of its kind and dates from the 10th century. It was found in 1933 at Årby Gård, near Rasbokil, east of Uppsala in eastern Sweden, and was fully excavated in 1935 but unfortunately insufficiently documented.

The boat with the burial objects (x)

The boat itself is 3.95m long and 1.05m wide, it was made of 5 planks and weighs about 55kg. It could carry a load of about 130 kg. This means that it could carry a person plus cargo or two people over longer distances in calm waters. It had oars and paddles with a movable oar bench. The boat had been used, as repairs and other evidence show, for more than 100 years before it was used for the burial of a woman (whether it really was one can no longer be said) On the skeleton the oars and paddle had been placed. Inside the boat there were well preserved wooden bowls, spoons, ropes and a game board. Outside the boat were a dog and a stallion with its head cut off. Before the discovery, the tomb had already been looted and all metal objects removed. The damage to the boat itself probably occurred in the process.

The excavation of the boat, 1935 (x)

The boat has an interesting place in maritime archaeological history because its shape and structure indicate the influence of a nonlocal ethnic group, that of the Sami. Little is known about how the hunter groups that handled domesticated reindeer from about 1000 BC, even before the Viking Age (800-1050 AD), are related to the Sámi. Around 500 AD, however, the northern Swedish groups came into contact with the Vendel people (a group of people from the Vendel region of the central Swedish province of Uppland), and knowledge was exchanged.

(x)

In the 9th century, this context gave rise to the boat, according to more recent dating, which ends a hundred years later in the boat grave at Årby Gård. The burial custom that began with the boat graves of the Vendel Age (550-800 AD) did not end until the end of the Viking Age (1050 AD).
