From the Moesgård Museum's description of this display:
"No less than 129 sets of fire-lighting equipment were found on Illerup. 124 of these are of Scandinavian type consisting of an ordinary sand-washed stone of quartzite and a needle-shaped piece of steel set into a handle of wood. 5 sets of fire-lighting instruments of Continental type consist of a bar-shaped piece of steel and flint or pyrite. These numbers tell us that there is a good reason to believe that the large majority of the warriors were Scandinavian."
