What do we know
about the people?

A boar

The people kept animals like cattle and sheep. Wild animals such as red deer and boar were hunted for their meat and skins. Seal meat was eaten and they occasionally might have even found a beached whale. The eggs of sea-birds were eaten and possibly even the birds themselves.
