An oak coffin excavated in 1921 in a grave mound at Egtved near Vejle, Jutland. This was the grave of a young woman aged between 16 and 18, about 160cm tall, slim with loose and blond hair. She was laid on a cow's hide in the coffin, fully dressed. Her upper body was covered by a short-sleeved blouse and she wore a knee-length string skirt around her hips. By her feet, those who burried her, placed a bundle with the charred bones of a child of 5 or 6, possibly a death sacrifice. At the other end was a small bark box containing the woman's hairnet. Before the coffin was closed, the corpse was covered with a blanket and a cow's hide. On top of this was placed a bark pail with a fermented drink, a sort of beer brewed from wheat, cranberries and honey. Measurements of the growth rings of the wood of the coffin show tha the burial took place in the year 1370BC.
