The Swedish History Museum has a large collection of various bones, including human remains. The left and front sides of the skull are injured. There is a small square hole above the left eye and on the left cheekbone, which may be caused by a pole shaped weapon or a battle axe. The crack on the mouth may be caused by a sword or a thin edged axe. The skull is one of thousands of cultural relics discovered in a mass grave on the outskirts of Visby, Gotland Island. All the remains and items found at the site originated from the battle between Gothland farmers and Danish mercenaries on July 27, 1361.
