Description:

This short report (10 pages) deals with knives, mainly from Gotland, and from graves. As such it very much displays the Gotlandic traditions in knife making. But most every day items, such as combs, ceramics, needles and knives, were more or less mass-produced and as such are very much the same all over the Viking world. The report is written by Associate Professor Dan Carlsson, Gotland University, Sweden.
