Thankyou for an great explnation! I would be very interested in the
Book Gerek is producing. Would he & you object to me cross posting this to
the norsefolk at yahoogroups.com List? If he is not on it may I request that
he join it? The more knowledgeable people who join the better the exchange
of information will be.

My persona is that of a metalsmith from the western Norwegian coast
serving as a guard/trader in Birka during the 831 time frame, so an earlyer
title would be more aproprate for me.

This is another area I would love to know more of! Also I still am
wondering what was the method of serving White Pork?
