More Jewlery form Grave digs - these are from Denmark (Black background from Terslev and Blue background North Vedsted) images from http://oldtiden.natmus.dk/
Both of these have firmly concluded my research... Twisted and woven jewelry was clearly created and worn by peoples of the Viking era throughout the region.
It has also pointed out something subtle to me. The pieces from Gotland show a marked influence from the Latvian and Lithuanian areas of the same time period. Clearly these cultures were more closely linked than has been previously discussed by most scholars... Surely I am not the first to notice.
