Trelleborg 2019
This year we spent around ten days at Trelleborg. We also re-united with our friends Dany and Micha, with whom we spent the market at Archeon and who would from then on travel with us until Ribe, where they could only stay for a few days.
After having been on small markets for about a month, Trelleborg felt like entering a city back in time. So many people, so many nationalities, so many different things to see - all placed around a structure demonstrating high political power, at a place that had been important since the Stone Age: The Trelleborg itself. Having our household grow from two people (who function as one more often than not) to four, for dinner even up to six or eight, required more effort and re-organization than we would have thought, but in the end it seemed to have worked out and we made some great experiences. One of the most fun things we did probably was making our own lamps (inspired by a Birka find), mini-bowls and (of course!) spindle whorls out of clay (thanks to the Freemen camp and Ravn in particular for giving people the opportunity to do this)
