Holstein. From å small group of graves at Tolkwade are preserved 
in The Kiel Museum the two brooches figs. 139 and 140.) As 
the few graves in this loeality have probably been arranged in 
continuation one of another the chronological difference between 
them cannot be very great, which may be inferred also respecting 
å the two brooches though they are 
not said to have been found in 
the same grave. The brooch fig. 
139 certainly belongs to the late 
Roman Period of Scandinavia, 
to the end of the 3d and the be- 
ginning of the 4th cent. according 
to the date given by prof. Mon- 
TELIUS,? and the cruciform brooch 
from the same locality is conse- 
quently in all probability to be 
referred to å later partoffe 
4th century. 
Upon this point our dating 
agrees quite well also with the 
opinions of the eminent Danish 
Fig. 139. 3/,. Fig. 140. %/4 expert, Mr. E. Vepren.?*) As espe- 
cially characteristic of the 4th 
century graves in Bornholm he counts his type ,,H 1* (fig. 141 here) 
and ,F 1% (fig. 142) of which the one is most elosely allied to

and 12. 
2) Svenska Fornminnesför. tidskr. IX, p. 234. 
3) E. VepeL: Efterskrift til Bornholms Oltidsminder og Oldsager, Kjøben- 
havn 1897, p. 28 and 29, cf. ib. p. 79. — These dates and periods in some 
respects approach to the Swedish system; his opinions are systematized in the 
following scheme: 
I. Harly Iron-Age 
— — 
1. Pre-Roman. 2. Roman. 3. Roman-Teutonic. 
( — c. 50 A. D.) (c. 50 — ce. 800 A. D.) (ce. 800 — ce. 500 A. D) 
IL. Late Iron-Age 
4. Teutonic. DB. Irish. 6. Carolingian. 
(c. 500 — ce. 700 A.D.) (c. 700 — ce. 850 or 900 A.D. —(c.850 or 900 — e. 1050 A.D.) 
Respecting the names of the periods, as given here, it should be noted 
that the 3d and 4th periods are signified in closer alliance to the Swedish than
