Tag yourself I'm both jars. Speaking of jars, during the late Iron Age, the dead in Scandinavia were almost exclusively cremated. The cremains were then placed in JARS, buried and covered with a layer of rocks called a stone setting. Stone settings are usually round but may be square or triangular. They may be flat or mounded, with mounds more common towards the end of the Iron Age.

Poor Captain Cook. Don't judge the past by the standards of the present!

Runestone from the mid to late 1000s located in the village of Hov, Sweden. This one is a whopper, 2m high and 1.7m wide. Many runestones were repurposed as building material - this one was found in 1867 built into the cellar of a manor house. Here is another cross - the majority of 11th century runestones reference Christianity in the text, decorations or both.
Old Norse translitteration:
Tunna/Tonna satti stæin þ[annsi æf]tiʀ sinn ver Þorfast. Vas hann manna mæstr oniðingʀ.
English:
Tunna/Tonna placed this stone in memory of her husband Þorfastr. He was the most unvillainous of men.

I'd love an egg day with someone I love

I have a favorite teacup at the homes of all my friends and family. Morally I'm the only one who knows it's my favorite. I still get disappointed if I don't get the right cup.

Really enjoying your posts lately @karlboll
