I’m curious how the axe would have been hafted since there doesn’t appear to be a traditional “socket” like metal ones of this type. It would have to have been fitted into the haft rather than the other way around.

Ever see the Norse arrow points from Greenland carved out of antler? I think these are so neat.

Also here’s the axe head made out of whalebone from Sandnes in the western settlement. I always thought this would be a cool experimental archaeology project to make one and see if you could split anything with it.

@antonyaolarsson @SkrivaFel I don’t see what you’re looking for unfortunately, but I only glanced quickly!

I will know I’ve made it if I ever get interviewed by Philomena Cunk.

It was framed like the nightly news but in the Middle Ages. Anyone in school in the 90s remember this? It features “Ring around the Rosie”, “pepper hides rotting meat”, etc. All the hits, really.

[Doc McCullough is outta here Friday @MarginalViking]

“Ring Around The Rosie” isn’t about the plague, pass it on.

[Doc McCullough is outta here Friday @MarginalViking]

I remember a series of educational films about the Middle Ages - I think called “The Way It Was” - that was essentially a collection of every bogus trivia point I’ve ever heard. We watched it in high school.

What’s your best adolescent #crush story?

Happy, sad, bizarre, as long as it’s entertaining.

What was the quintessential Valentine’s Day song of the mid 90s?

It’s gotta either be “I Swear” or “Truly Madly Deeply” right?
