The styles
Borre - the second half (early 9th to mid 10th)
Jellinge - miss the start, all the rest (late 9th to late 10th)
Mammen - first chunk (second half of 10th, early 11th C)
Broa is too early. Urnes and Ringerike are too late.
The following are finds that fit these time periods and styles, and could be relevant pieces for my craftsman to study. Some may have been buried at the time of his study, though the trial pieces or sample bone carvings could have still been in existence. The designs have a lot in common and I should have a look at them to get familiar with the elements. Might be good to see their locations on a map, with trade and raid routes marked.
