This book provides new insights into the relationship between
humans and birds in Northern Europe during the Bronze Age. Joakim
Goldhahn argues that birds had a central role in Bronze Age society
and imagination, as reflected in legends, myths, rituals, and
cosmologies. Goldhahn offers a new theoretical model for
understanding the intricate relationship between humans and birds
during this period. He explores traces of birds found in a range of
archaeological context, including settlements and burials, and
analyzes depictions of birds on bronze artefacts and figurines,
rock art, and ritual paraphernalia. He demonstrates how birds were
used in divinations, and provides the oldest evidence of omens
taken from gastric contents of birds - extispicy - ever found in
Europe.
