Persona: 1350BC Borum Eshoj

I devised this persona mostly for those really awfully hot days.  I admired the split-dress on others, and discovered the fantastically well-preserved archeology of Bronze Age Denmark.

GEAR: Since I wear BE just because of the hot weather, I don't worry about Bronze Age gear, though I did make some oil lamps.

BIBLIOGRAPHY: My own Bronze Age bibliography is here, but check the highlighted posts for specifics.
