HSS 6.25.08 - Jelling, Fyrkat & Limfjord - 096 Harvard in Scandinavia: June 23-26, 2008 (Aarhus, Jelling & Fyrkat)
The reconstructed farm at Fyrkat reminds us that the fortress appears not to have had any agricultural activity being conducted by its occupants. We must assume that the fortress was supplied by nearby farms, although it is apparent that it did not only house soldiers, as the graveyard contains both sexes and all ages. Implements typical of female rolls, such as textile-related tools, have also been found.
