📺 Now 'Les Vikings: Des Origines à la Chute' has been broadcast by RMC Découverte, I can share some moments of the filming we did at #Birka! As you might be able to tell, it was VERY sunny and V. hot, but a brilliant experience with the lovely crew at one of the greatest archaeology sites on earth.
😅 kinevetlek, m ezt érdemled. Rád fogom olvasni az első ilyen hibád, légy résen :)
Birka vagy magad is, csak vmi felsőbbrendű érzésed okán minősítesz másokat.

When you see that you stopped focusing and went by muscle memory for almost 30 cm... Yes, I undid it.

Christian influence in the #VikingAge town of #Birka as seen through manuscripts as well as finds of book parts reworked as jewelry.

On the @wordwenches.bsky.social blog today Christina visits the site of #Birka a former #Viking town, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Lots of pieces from #boardgames have been found there, among other things. Are you a fan of board games? #history

Green glass beaker with grape-like spheres.
🍇 A green glass 'grape beaker' from grave Bj 539 at #Birka, the #Viking-Age nodal market town.
A prestigious import from a Carolingian-era Frankish workshop, shards from similar vessels have been found in Charlemagne's palace complex in Paderborn.

Tafl pieces, with 'king' piece highlighted.
The cutest #Viking?
I've highlighted the 'king' piece - with eyes, nose, and crown/hat [?] - in these glass Viking-Age tafl board game pieces from the cemetery of the market site of #Birka, grave Bj 750.
Cf. with the plain (black and turquoise) hemisphere 'pawns'.

My cousin's visit from California was celebrated with an excursion to #Birka, a Stone Age village on an island in #LakeMälaren. We went there on the steamship #Ejdern from #Södertälje.

I'm working on an improved version of Birka B6. Thanks for your priceless help, Theseus! 🐈

My try on Birka B9 in two-hole technique. I really like it despite that the second motive is slightly out of proportion. Soon finished
#tabletweaving #birka #historicaltextiles #vikingage
I got this stupid idea to do as many patterns from Viking age Birka as I can. This is how it started: Birka B2

Does anyone remember this 2008 article, where a metal 'bra' was found, and attributed to Viking Age fashonistas in Birka. www.theage.com.au/world/dig-su...
Did the theory just dissapear?

I am premiering "The SCA Nook" where we interview SCA'dians and ask them to bring their stories to life, one interview at a time!
We enter the world of heavy combat with Thaddeus the Seer, who just conquered the Birka Heavy Tournament.

With my Heraldry about to be submitted, I wanted to have a token that was memorable for A&S projects that I thought went above and beyond, and for people that I thought also went above and beyond.
Perusing the #Birka market, I found just the thing!

Spending the night at #birka would have been fun but I get to wake up to this knee sleeping gremlin, so I call it a win. #orangecat
I am very happy with how this came out.
What I love about Birka (and really all events) is the garb.
I love seeing everyone dressed in their persona, or what they feel most comfortable and confident in.
