In these graves, archaeologists found skeletons laid on their backs with well-preserved tools in bone and horn. Numerous imported objects testify to good connections with the Scandinavian mainland, Denmark and Germany.

“Like man and wife who nightly keep
Inconsequent debate in sleep
As they dream side by side.”

Retreat from too much joy or too much fear:
We grow sea-green at last and coldly die
In brininess and volubility.”

Delicate-stomached dwellers
In Pygmy Alley,”
