What kind of race is she? Bruenn or Borreby?
Did she have blue eyes and fair hair?

I guess we will not know anything about her pigmentation basing only on raw skull.

[Pallantides]

They have plans to analyze her DNA in the near future, then we will know more about her origin.


Archeology, History and Genetics are sadly neglected subjects in Norway, so things go a bit slow.

I haven't seen many pictures of our Acadian Driftwood, but the reconstruction does seem to remind me of her. Anyone else see this?

Anyway.... What is the woman's age, do we know? Rather strong featured, big square orbits...

[Pallantides]

She is estimated to have been ca. 35 to 40 years old when she died and 1.56m (5'1) tall.

I supposed that she is a Bruenn or Borreby type, a real ancestor of the actual Norwegians!

Agreed, she only could be those what is mentioned.

Tydal and Baltid is also possible, to me she looks Borreby though as she had a large and rather robust head.

Looks Finnish to me.
