Hi Stanislav

The brooch from Grave Bj 644 is actually an annular brooch made to look like a penannular ditto.

As for pictures I can't help you more than to advice you to have a look at the Museum's info on it, [url="http://www.historiska.se/data/?foremal=448800"]HERE[/url] (the photos are clickable).

The whole grave material from Björkö is scheduled to be published in the Museum's public data base with photos and info on the single artefacts (alas only in Swedish for the time being).

Hi.
Thankk you helping me.
I got find a text files from the book "Birka 1" yesterday. But some pages were lost. For example I have no pages from 218 to 222 and from 224 to 243. And I think, that the scheme of 644-th grave was published at this pages. I need them because of 1 problem. I want to make the peninular brooch from this grave, but there are to peninular brooches there and trere are also two skeletone in the grave. Thats why I want to know, who wore the brooch that we can see in the link before and who wore anothe one, which is rather simple. Of course I don't want to make the brooch for myself, which were worn by the women.
Can you solve my problem?

[Ny Björn]

The annular brooch and the more ordinary penannular brooch were both found by the femurs of the left, presumably male skeleton.

If you send me an e-mail (use the address in my profile) I'll see if I can help you with the grave plane.
