| THE OLDEST OF THEM ALL | |
|
Not
far from Falköping, where SKV´s 25th Anniversery Show took place,
there is a little lake called Horborgasjön (sjö=lake) Every year
thousands of cranes come there to rest during their journey from Spain
to northern Sweden. This area is one of the oldest culture-areas in Sweden, and there is not only cranes. These dog bones are from a dog of spitz-type. I wouldn´t dare to call it Vestgotaspitz, but on the other side I don´t know what to call a dog, found in Västergötland... /GuS |

By Hornborgasjön there were quite
many villages about 9000 years ago. In some of them people buried their
dogs. Over the dead dogs there was a red powder, red occra, which consists
of soil with iron in it. Text and photo: By the
