Fig. 8. The Dustrup digging stick (after Lerche &
Steensberg 1980, 79). □ Der Grabstock von Do-
strup.
Wood (not specified) from a double digging
stick, i.e. manufactured at both ends. It was
found in the property Matr.No. 18d of Do-
strup in Hindsted District, Aalborg County,
Jutland, Denmark, during peat cutting, c. 2.50
m beneath the surface and 11.3 m from the
shore. The Dostrup ard, K-1494, was found
in the same bog. Besides this 156 cm long and
5 cm wide digging stick at least two other
digging sticks of prehistoric origin are known
(the mentioned Ua-1500 and a Neolithic one
from Muldbjerg dated to 2820 ±80 be (3630-
3525 BC) cf. the spade/stick Fig. 2. The Dan-
ish finds show the tool type’s existence in pe-
riods from the Paleolithic to the Germanic
Iron Age. The wood had presumably been
treated with varnish and oil, which was ex-
tracted prior to dating. The sample made up
94.2% of a normal filling. Sample:
Mus.No. A 16896 NM I, HG 22810 NM VIII
A 6154. Submitted by Grith Eerche. The ob-
ject is now in the Prehist.-Hist.Dept, in the
National Museum (Eerche 1977, 119-122
fig. 14; Lerche 1980, 57-58; Lerche & Steens-
berg 1980, 79-82). Fig. 8.
D0Strup; ard. K-1494: 2560±100 BP;
cal.years 790 BC; 810-530 BC cal. ± 1 st.d.
Wood of alder (Alnus sp.) from a fragment of
the beam of the famous well-preserved Dos-
trup ard found in 1884 during peat digging in
a bog north of Dostrup, same parish,
Hindsted District, Aalborg County, Jutland,
Denmark. Beam length c. 300 cm, share
length 90 cm. This ard is often referred to as
the bow ard, spade ard, the passing through
stilt type or just the Dostrup type. The sam-
ple contained preservatives which were ex-
tracted prior to dating and the lignin fraction
was purified. There was not enough cellulose
material left for dating. Sample C 5492, Hg
