 PIGS. 119-122 Stone Sinkers. Denmark. 



The Danish locality where the original of Fig. 120 was found is not speci- 

 fied. The object shown in Fig. 121 was ploughed up in the District of 

 Soro, and that represented by Fig. 122, exhibiting two grooves crossing each 

 other, was obtained in the District of Viborg. All these Danish specimens are 

 preserved in the Museum of Northern Antiquities at Copenhagen. 



Professor Nilsson describes and represents several sink-stones, one of them, 

 like the Danish specimen, provided with two grooves crossing each other (Fig. 

 122). Concerning this class of sinkers he observes : "These plummets are 

 generally large, and have probably been used as weights for trolling-nets, etc. 

 They are still occasionally picked up in islets and reefs on the coast of Bohus-
