Summary
[edit]DescriptionNeverkar fra Austrått (19905625902).jpg |
Under torvtaking i 1927 vart det oppdaget et 2500 år gammelt kar nesten helt nede på leirbunnen, 120 centimeter under det øverste torvlaget ved gården Austrått på Ørlandet. Finneren, Alfred Lund leverte karet inn til NTNU Vitenskapsmuseet og det viste seg å inneholde en smørlignende masse. I en fersk doktorgradsavhandling avdekket Merete Moe Henriksen ved NTNU at massen bestod av fettstoffer av animalsk eller vegetabilsk opphav samt bjørketjære og bivoks. Det er uvisst hva massen kan ha blitt brukt til, men bjørketrær skal ha antiseptisk virkning, som kan tyde på at det kan ha hatt effekt som salve på sår. Det finnes likevel flere muligheter og stoffet kan ha blitt brukt som lim, tetningsstoff eller innsmøringsmiddel på dyreskinn for å gjøre skinnet mykt og vannbestandig. I doktoravhandlingen blir funnet videre satt i sammenheng med andre myrfunn fra samme periode, spesielt med tilsvarende funn fra Austrått. Trolig må alle funnene settes i sammenheng med rituelle nedleggelser, som har inngått i en egen kult i tilknytning til myr. Neverkaret er fint sydd sammen, måler 20 centimeter i diameter og har en høyde på 15 centimeter. During digging of peat in 1927 it was discovered an almost 2500 year old container almost as far down as the clay bottom, 120 centimeter under the top layer of peat by the farm Austrått at Ørlandet. The finder, Alfred Lund handed the container in to the NTNU University Museum and it appeared to contain a butter-like mass. In a recent phd, Merete Moe Henriksen discovered that the mass consisted of fatty substances stemming from either animal-or vegetal origin as well as birch-tar and beeswax. It is uncertain what the mass could have been used for, but birch-wax is supposed to have anti-septic effect, that could imply its primary purpose as an ointment or cream for cuts. There is, however, possibilities that it has been used as glue, caulking mass or some sort of impregnation on animal skin to make the skin soft and water-resistant. In the PhD. Henriksen put the finding in connection with other mire-findings during the same period, in particular with other similar findings from Austrått. All finds must probably be understood in connection to ritual “down-laying”, that has been a part of an own cult in connection to mires. “Neverkaret” is carefully sown together, measures 20 centimeter in diameter and has a height on 15 centimeter.
