Great to see that the Swedish #lidar covering the Birka #Viking period settlement on Bjorko island, Lake Malaren is now available. Birka was an important trading settlement and port between c. 750 and 975 AD. There are around 3,000 graves in three main cemeteries.

@MarkWalters_ I chose not to think of how many thousand people I’ve guided amongst those burials… 🤣 Neat renditions! Brings a lot more sense into the landscape than the dull gray terrain model featured in e.g. the 🇸🇪 Historic Environment Record

@NyBjornG Thanks 👍 Yes, I’ve been looking at the standard hillshade model for a few years now while waiting for the data to appear so that I could turn it 3D and have a closer view. It’s a superb site. Are there some tri-radial cairns in the cemeteries? I think I can see one large example
